San Marino vs. England, World Cup Qual.: Friday 22/03/13, 20:00 Serravalle Stadium, San Marino [R]

Danny misses from about 2 yards.

 

Joe makes a hash of it and they have a shot. Wake up fellas.

 

Parker comes on for Lampard.

 

Cant really fault the scoreline. Made easier work of it than the Wembley clash with San marino .

 

Sturridge scores. 0-7.

 

Defoe has a brace. 8 goals from 7 players. 0-8.

 

Can score another two or three I'd say

 

FT: 0-8.

 

8-0! 3pts! Job done.

Now onto the next game! 3pts from the next game are essential for this week to be regarded a success.

 

Scotland turn victory into defeat. Leading 1-0 at home, they give away a pen and get a man sent off in the same moment. Wales equalise from the spot and then take the lead a minute later. Scots beaten at home!

Scotland now bottom of their group with 2 pts from 5 games!

 

Onto Montenegro!!
Lets hope Roonaldo doesnt do something daft again like last time.

 

He sometimes makes you wonder if it might be worth not playing him away from home, particularly if there's a dodgy ref and/or crowd, doesn't it. Bit of a loose cannon that lad.

Still, see what happens as the game goes on. Roy needs to keep an eye on him though, that's for sure.

 

I seem to remember that Montenegro were a dirty bunch... San Marino, although they are shit, at least they aren't hacks like other minnows

 

Woukd u giys want defoe and rooney as a partnership vs better sides? I think beattie could score past san marino! Tbf defoe has stepped up his hold up game so I wouldnt be adverse as I once was

 

Defoe's a strange one. He can terrific sometimes and then drift completely out the game in others. Rooney's good enough to play in midfield OR up front. It's just his temperament that worries me, particularly against the sort of hacks we face sometimes.
