Ladies & Gents,
Why is there such surprise at England's sh1t performance the other night? The last time England had a decent championship was 1990. Then again even in 1990, one should not forget the dirge, the sheer TEDIUM that was England vs Republic, Egypt, Holland in the group stages, then robbing the Belgians in the last min, outplayed by Cameroon but winning due to their desperate tackling and giving away two penalties... Anyhow, enough on 1990, fast forward to 2010: - WHY is Heskey in the squad? Crouch is FAR better and is actually half decent (remember the TWO amazing bicycle kick goals for Liverpool a few years back?) - Ledley King is more injury prone than even Bryan Robson was. - and STILL LAMPARD AND GERRARD play at the same time in midfield. This my English amigos is your problem - one of them has to go. - After my laughing abated, I felt sorry for Green but I'd have picked him too as the 1st choice. Calamity James? No chance. BTW, impossible for the vast majority but you really must watch RTE's half time analysis with Johnny Giles, Eamon Dunphy especially and even Graeme Souness is very good. The savaging Eamon Dunphy gave the English performance should have been pay per view. Being Irish, you may rightly accuse me of in-built bias but England win the World Cup I'll be more shocked than when Greece won Euro 2004. However, should hell freeze over and England play France, I'll be cheering with the English. Fortunately(?) they would meet somewhere before or at the semi-final stage... Overall, a quite tame tournament so far - not like 4 years ago, which was probably the best tournament I can remember. So far Argentina game was quite good, and hugely impressed with Germany last night.
