England vs Sweden Half Time Report
game picked up 3:03
Owen England forward is out, injury, crouch in
crouch and rooney up front forwards england
started owen and rooney forward england
4:40 sweden had loads of time right near the goal, the guy just waited for the ball to roll to him, such in stereotypical wheaties box top cross result corner cleared by england,
549 england lampard had time and space with ball to do something interesting did not
625 lampard goes on long ground run up the middle, gets to edge of penalty box, sends in weak rolling shot at the goalie, but the long ground run was a refreshing change.
700 approx Johnson pronounced Yonson of Sweden again had ball and time right near penalty box, wasted it
913 ashley cole had space and time miskicked for england
945 nice pass in to England's rooney offsides has to do with torso lining up, announcer said referee did good job.
1115 england had time far back in Sweden half
1145 rooney flubs bouncer at penalty line
1155 lampard in middle flubs cross in from rooney
rooney broke bone in foot seven weeks ago sez announcer
1335 crouch getting pushed around alot as usual
he is real skinny
1405 yonson again with time up front for sweden doesnt use it
1600 lundberg of SW burrows into corner, sweden gets throw in,
1813 sweden crosses in, headed out by england, corner for sweden
1945 rooney had time and ball
2020 cole haes time, shot blocked, rebound straight at goalie, right over the top, announcer beside himself with admiration
2115 sweden offensive charge goes awry
2300 cole kicks ball behind back with sole of feet
2350 beckham defers to cole passes short one to him even though he beckham had time and space; crouch misses header
2430 classic play, beckham fires ball in to rooney, from 50 yds, perfectly targetted line drive, rooney does good air trap, good all around, rooney had two players right on him...this I do not understand, these perfect passes from 50 yds to a double teamed man, while passing opportunities to wide open persons near by are muffed
they say beckenbauer was not a sliding type of defender ferdinand very aggressive tackler I was a good defender who never slide tackled, or rarely
2723 again it seems that wherever the ball goes when england has it, the swedish defenders are in perfect position
2805 beckham good long penalty shot forces corner
2850 cole with time, then rooney blasts bouncer misses
2955 nice pass to cole of england
sweden's edmund likes to attack from his defender position...sez announcer
3100 sweden with time #7 sw action continues to --31:30
3210 sw off action
3240 cole of england gets bouncer, shoots shot in goal for england. chest ball to kick from 25 yds right into corner of goal, this was so much my kind of play, I always get balls like that where I chest the ball and then kick it before it hits the ground. But when I drill with the ball, the ball and me are both moving forward when I chest it, and also, I continue the flight instead of shooting or passing, of the three alternatives the shot is the easiest, sometimes when the ball is too far to continue the flight I shoot, I have long range nad speed on such shots, fairly good accuracy. In some senses what Cole did was lower than me but his shot was excellently placed. He resembles me he has been the defacto left wing this game as I was in high school.
yonson of sweden, yet again, has time and space and the ball close to england goal, does nothing with it this somewhere around 3430 mark
3600 joe cole puts on a clinic at left wing
3643 this was a different england today, except for the fact that like in past days, they were on offense predictable for the sweden defense
3735 hargreaves screwed up on offense
3905 sweden lame cross in
defense is about good position says announcer not (slide) tackling, the announcer gave Beckenbauer as an example of this; that is the kind of defense, position not tackling defense, I used to play when I played it in scrimmages i was a good high school left wing who lacked the skills to be a good college left wing, but who was a good college defender, when I had the brains to wake up and play defense in college team scrimmages.
3920 cole finds lampard in the middle lampard shoots announcer calls it as 40 yds, exaggerating the distance of the shot.
4015 good run by crouch, trying to set up his teammate by dribbling a little as opposed to being goody goody acceptable in the eyes of dumb teachers, fat 6th graders, and the folks who decide who gets put on the Wheaties Box.
These england guys seem like they have been reading my blog and or newsgroup posts. Sometimes two parties think the same without knowing each other's thoughts, example me and microsoft re colors, the england coach and me re soccer maybe.
4150 chance for england
announcer says rooney very fit and healthy, he's had seven weeks since broken foot
4220 4240 england kept crossing it in, ended with rooney taking wheaties box top shot, look, anyone can eat wheaties for breakfast, anyone can take these blasting shots that impress announcers and morons, the shot was at the goalie horizontally and way off vertically
This would be first england victory over sweden in 40 years...england is showing a new look this game, it has been looking like a hockey team on offense, shot after shot after shot from close to the opponent goal
4500 Cole gets ball again, playing like stellar left winger, works in to middle, his shot is blocked. England doing good job getting into middle
4553 another charge using rolling balls up to close to the sweden goal by england
General Note: England is shooting too much with the result of the shot being blocked. In several of these situations moving 5 or so yds on the dribble with the ball on the ground or air dribbling it, would have been an improvement and a wise decision.
