Re: World Cup 2006

I'm not very optimistic about our chances on Saturday. This is quite unlike me!!

Portugal are without Deco and Costinha (both red carded against Holland) and maybe Cristiano Ronaldo through injury. All of them are incredibly influential.

Even with them missing...I...I don't know - it's too close to call. I'd be more confident if we were playing better.

It's funny you should comment about Beckham, Ana. He's been heavily criticised by our media for his performances. I don't agree with them. His free-kick led to the own-goal against Paraguay. He crossed for Crouch to score our first against T&T and scored our winner against Ecuador - what more can he do?

We got this far without playing well (a good thing?) and where there is Rooney, there is hope. He played a blinder against Ecuador - 93 minutes and only about 80% fit. He is superhuman!!

Fingers crossed.
