Germany V England - Sunday June 27th- 10AM EST

[lakerboy]

1. Who on Germany can force Gerrard out of his comfort zone? Gerrard will control the offense tomorrow freely.

2. How will Germany win if they don't dominate possession?

Germany will control the area between the english area and the midfield as england will have more players back in that area always trying to cut out ozil's runs. Lamps will be chasing all day. Then as a result the english will have to resort to long passes up the middle or on the outside and germany will have defenders ready for that. Capello should have taken Walcott for the pace and fear he brings to defenders. Erikkson took him last time to get mentally ready and now Capello left him out. Germany dont need to dominate possession they will control the type of game played and dictate the english game plan. Dont be too surprised to see Glen Johnson caught out over and over . Englands problems are in the middle of the pitch. Watch and see how the germans beat the english at there own game.

[lakerboy]

Also Germany hasnt lost before the quarterfinal since 1978. 7 times on the run they have at least made the quarters. History is very relevant in soccer world cups.

[Julyne]

I am leaning towards to Germany, as many people mentioned, England is having lack of team play in the mid-field.

[EmpireMaker]

1-0 Germany

[KKoz9]

England has shown exactly what they are - a good (not world class) team that is struggling...and have played inferior competition, and yes including the U.S.

Germany controls this one 2-0.

[jcubs55]

I like Germany here either 1 or 2 to 0... if England does squeek out a tying goal Germany will take it in extra time/PKs

[Ace_of_Spades]

Has picked all the Germany games right.

[SR]

England looks AWFUL, and your crazy about the underdog theory. They are under tremendous pressure from their home media, they dont give a shit about the betting lines.

[Sunde91]

What a BS match-up. This is a Semis type game, not a Round of 16 game

Lean has to be to Germany.

[Art Vandelay]

Germany for me too. England did not impress me in the group. Germany EVEN for 1 unit.

[trojanman]

Germany easy - can't score against Algeria - score 1 vs. USA they will not score against German defense - 2 - 0 Germans take it to the bank easy

[charley1]

Germany got what is necessary to win the game!, England has to show a better play if they wana win..... 2-1 Germany

[flyingillini]

I am on England and I am thinking about throwing some more money on them. England PK for me!

[spirta]

Very hard game, i am on England and hope they win.

[Pajda]

you wanna put sbr points on this game? I got England you got Germany. Back up your talk bud.

I can make a friendly wager.
100 points, I take Germany to qualify to next round, you take England,
If you agree, confirm before kick off.

[SoV]

It'll go to penalties again, I feel. But we'll win this time.

[fenek]

germany for me! will play to advance at even money which is an unbelievable line i think. good luck to you, will be watching and celebrating at public viewing in the oldest city of germany, trier !

[fuglyboy86hi]

Heart says England, Mind says Germany.. Hope England start showing some heart at this game, they should and will, its a epic game a head! As long as they not going to penalties they have a shoot

exaclty

[whitedogau]

if english management were smart, and I'm not suggesting for a second that they are, they would remove every TV set from the team hotel, and burn every newspaper within a 1km radius of the hotel.....Enormous pressure on the poms - very interested in how this plays out

[nj6]

I will just sit back and drink some beers in this one.

[tonyhomo]

Should be a close game dont expect any team to dominate the game

[radishman]

"Soccer is a game for 22 people that run around, play the ball, and one referee who makes a slew of mistakes, and in the end Germany always wins." Gary Lineker

[ejfel01]

Neither of these two teams are that much better than the other. Stay away from this imho

[Dead Money]

Neither of these two teams are that much better than the other. Stay away from this imho

Amen..


Looking @ the under, but will most likely stay clear or small wager..

[PorkyPig]

Stay clear of this one. Old rivalries are a viewing pleasure, and a betting nightmare.

[Eleven]

Im going for England. No Ballack or Schweinsteiger? I think the english win 1-0.

[radishman]

Schweinsteiger will play most likely

[atval]

i like england to advance -120.

[eSTOXX]

Germany Vs England, I predict score 0-2 or 1-3.

[mikejamm]

Germany will crush those crumpet eating, tea sipping English douche bags!

[HCBoone]

What a game its gonna be.

We all know England are BIG chokers but I'm believing in this team and I hope they win 2-0. Germany is quiet poor defensively and they haven't really been tested. Gerrard, Rooney, Defoe and Lampard will test them for sure.

COME ON ENGLAND

[kopite]

Schweinsteiger will play most likely

Finally someone who could spell his name - but I think he's out.
Regardless, Germans in a tight one. Stevie G is the key for England but as said earlier in this thread he is the one who runs into the box to finish and plays better with an Alonso type behind him - NO SUCH PLAYER in this lineup though

Gone big on Germany to progress

[obie]

Too many on Germany .. I'll say Rooney to score and England to qualify ! Good Luck.

[KC]

Germany advances

[jjgold]

Dead even

A guess like most world cup games
