i would blame the players, F.A, and the unrealistic pressure that the fans are putting on the players

this is more or less the same squad that got them through the qualifiers easy, and yet on the big stage they seem to flop

i was watchin 'your on sky sports' just before the season ended and the so called pundits were saying that without Rooney they have no chance, to me that sounds very unfair putting that amount of pressure on just 1 guy

cant understand why Joe Cole aint playing either, and the whole Heskey situation has back fired on Fabio, other than Defoe there is nobody that can come on and create a problem for defenders cause soon as Crouch comes on they have almost give up on playing football and only go for the long ball, which i think Slovenia will have no problems dealing with.
