If you want pace, bring on a cheetah.

Surely if we the worst occurs and we look bereft of ideas and find ourselves heading out against Portugal then surely he must be brought on.

Maybe he isn’t ready, but the fact that the team lack pace and he doesn’t suggests his appearence in the last 20mins along with Lennon. Afterall it will be the last thing they would be expecting!! Sven will undoubtedly prefer to bring on Jenas first no doubt - fool.

Alan Ball made some interesting points about Wallcot yesterday (he knows him), stating that he’s a great lad with lots of ability but he’s very modest, if not shy and will proably be thinking ‘what am I doing here at the World Cup with all these international players’. Unlike Rooney he doesn’t possess the ‘I’m a man already and not afraid of anything football throws at me, bring it on’ mentality that serves young Wayne so well.

I’d rather see Dennis Wise.

I’d rather see Walcott come on for 2 minutes on the left wing than Downing.

What is Sven’s obsession with Downing? He just isn’t international class yet.

despite my despair following the Sweden game, I’ve now swung back round to total optimism and believe that Beckham will finally lead us to glory (altho Lennon should have his boots on ready to go for every 2nd half).
