oo its gonna be a scorcher!!

I can't see those turks beating us. We will raise our game and win 2-0. They think they're a bunch of Bertie Big Bollocks since they got to the Semi finals - but who did they play on the way - Japan, and Senegal? Ooo look out world!

We wont win, well we wont if we play like we did yesterday and against macedonia. To be honest we havent looked up to par recently and look nothin like we did when we were in the world cup. On recent performances i think we will b lucky to get a draw. I dont want to sound negative, but we just arent up there with the likes of turkey, france, germany, portugal, itlay etc.

Actually, Portugal had a much worse WC than we did. Italy weren't convincing and France were abysmal. It's all about confidence, form and individuals. We have the ability to beat anyone on our day but we have to have our hands held so much cos England have such an inferiority complex.

But, although, the opposition hasn't been amazing England have come back 1-0 down several times recently to win games. Basically, if the match in Turkey doesn't stir them to gain a draw (which they are more than capable of) then they deserve to go to the play-offs
