Good start?

 

[spurs mental]

Rose just stopped England from scoring I think.

 

[Raxscallion]

Rose just cleared off the oppositions line when cleverley's shot was going in. And was offside.

Doh!

Eek Eek Eek

Portugal just stringed a beautiful move together and should have scored. Rose did indeed just perform a goalline clearance that a defender (or James bloody Beattie) would be proud of.

 

[ShelfSide18]

Everytime I've seen Rose he clearly loves a tackle.

 

[spurs mental]

Rose scored.

Very tidy finish. Got it out of his feet well off the knock down from Carroll.

 

[ShelfSide18]

Good finish Rose, good movement too.

 

[ShelfSide18]

Rose scored.

You got there first!

You must be cacking yourself with your big game today!

Ah, I am a little bit.

But we've got Robbie Keane. :dance:

Back on topic, it's half time. England lead through Danny Rose goal.

 

[Spurs4ever!]

Just started watching at the beginning of the second half, is Rose playing just

off the front in the Keane role or from the left?

 

[spurs mental]

Not sure, but I think when England have the ball he's in behind Carroll? And when Portugal are attacking he's kind of part of a 5 man midfield?

Correct me if I'm wrong. Only watching every few mins.

 

[spurs mental]

Bit of a heavy touch from Rose, just let him down, could have been in for a second.

Yea looks like you are right, when England have the ball Gibbs is on the left and

Rose is further forward. Then when they are in possession he seems to be

dropping back behind the ball.

 

[Spurs4ever!]

Rose coming off, Naughton coming on.
