I blame ITV, England always play better on the BBC.

Thank gawd we're saved

[wobbegong]

Did you see Mexico play? Fast, close down, passion.

Did you just watch England???

Rooney, gerard, lampard!! Crap.

Rooney had the touch of a rapist wearing saucepans on his feet and scissors for hands!!!

Disgraceful

Spot on MF. Mexico played like a team that wanted to win, they were hungry for it, whereas england played like a team that expected victory to be handed to them on a plate simply because they'd bothered to turn up.



Can't help saying "Donkey" in a reproachful Shrek-like accent whenever Heskey gets the ball.

1. That is puzzling
2. Inject pace and a line hugger, SWP played better than Lenno
3. Never does, and never will
4. Press, expectation and Capello
5. Barry, side ways passing.if he plays then it has to be with SG off the front and 2 wide men
6. We never have been able to master that skill
7. Who else ? Thought he had an ok game, better than JT

WHS.

What was funny was the pre match interviews where every pundit said Algeria was very very poor and this was a walk over. They predicted 3-0, 4-0 etc.

1) Why was Heskey on the pitch for so long?
2) Why replace Lennon with SWP and then bring on Defoe?
3) Why not switch to 4-5-1 with Rooney supported by Gerrard?
4) Why did our players look so nervous?
5) Why did our midfield play in our own half so much?
6) Why could we not string passes together in midfield?
7) Carragher - why?

Bugger! Have a tinny and get back to bed.

It is a bit late for that now.

I might be a big piss-head but I draw the line at starting drinking before noon (sparkling wine with breakfast doesn't count, obviously ). That said, it will be noon shortly.

Again, I got up at stupid o'clock on a Saturday morning to watch that.

SY01 - the punditry was world class in comparison to the footie.

Shall I make up the spare room for Mr Cockup for the next match?

That one will be in the middle of the night for me and it is mid-week. I probably wont watch that one.

The midfield were awful. In general the team lacked leadership and seemed to be looking round at each other hoping for guidance.

Zippy, we are aligned. You are always spot on with your comments, be it about pundits or players or managers. I assume a good upbringing. A real breath of fresh air from listening to all the "Eaton wannabees" and sweaty socks on here.

@Shaunboy : Good quality banter mate, love it

3 hours of football and Robert Green is still joint top scorer!

The remarkable drawing power of delusion!!

Just used on BBC1 News. Great line!

[OwlHoot]

It all sounds so complicated - Thank God I'm not interested in football

[shaunbhoy]

1) Why was Heskey on the plane?
2) Why replace Lennon with SWP and then bring on Defoe? Didn't want to disrupt the "creative flow" of the team
3) Why not switch to 4-5-1 with Rooney supported by Gerrard? Because of the language barrier?
4) Why did our players look so nervous? Fabio had given John Terry their wives' mobile numbers
5) Why did our midfield play in our own half so much? Only way to get near the ball?
6) Why could we not string passes together in midfield? The ball was a "bit funny"
7) Carragher - why? Not a problem for the next match - he is banned!

I could go on but I'm off to get drunk now. Good plan!

Total joke Mr Capello, you have lost the frakin plot. Go easy on him....it is his Birthday, and he has received hundreds of Postman Pat Birthday cards!
