Rob1981 Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Oxlade-Chamberlain going to start? Quite surprised by that if true. Looks like it. Already being compared to Gazza 1990, Owen 1998 and Rooney 2004. No doubt the Sun will brand him "Flopslade Chamberlain" if he doesn't boss the game.

Maiokhan Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 England have been pretty solid since Roy's come in so they have a shot at a draw or wining but they'll have to play well. If they do win, it will likely be only by a single goal. So my prediction is 2-1 to England. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
