first half is what we need to be looking at, and that went OK..... we didnt score, but we didnt look like conceding (though I did only watch highlights on BBC as I was working).

agree that sven has no tactical nouse, he hasnt got a clue what to do when we go more than 1 down, and even though that was our first team out last night (supposedly) I cannot beleive that more of the players that went to the USA werent involved..... Carrick and Richardson being the two that come to mind.

the current england side is in danger of becoming exactly like france..... culminating in winning something in a few years but then being shafted when all the decent players retire, you need a canny blend of youth and experience to stop that happening.

my last gripe..... for those who watched the BBC Programme, when did someone think it would be a good idea for Graham Le Socks to commentate on an England game..... his squeaky little voice did my head right in, and when Rooney was complaining about having his shirt pulled in the first half, all that useless fcukwit could say was "he's complaining about the handball, ref, it was a handball"..... whoever was co-commentating had to say "no squeaky, he is actually talking about having his shirt ripped off" (which the whole world saw, apart from that useless twat!!!!)(.... and the ref!!)
