Why is Craig Bellamy saying England have to win against Wales on Thursday? Other pundits too.
That's bollocks isn't it? A draw is fine for us, though of course we should aim to win. Obviously a defeat would leave us on the brink of going out of the competition, but a draw on Thursday would leave us on 2 points. Then if we beat Slovakia we will finish the group on 5 points and that would most certainly take us through.
The word is that 4 points should take teams though and you have to remember 16 teams out of the 24 go through to the next round.
Not at all a must win for England and merely a must not lose.
They've been saying on TV teams could potentially even go through with 3 draws so its certainly not must win. Would be nice to win and not relying on the last game though.
They were saying the other night on TV , three 0-0 gives you a 84% chance of
going through. I think it was Lee Dixon saying it before the opening game.

Bellamy was acting billy big bollocks saying the England game is perfect for us etc, end of the day they beat the weakest side in the group and still have to play us and Russia. I can't wait to wipe the smug grin off his face this Thursday.
