When oh when are English players going to be taught how to make killing passes in the last half of the pitch. It is woeful. Yes they tried hard, but it just wasn't good enough.
As for Rooney, he deserved to be sent off. Absolutely disgraceful. He is a truly gifted player, but needs to learn how to control his frustration.
I personnally think that Sven should not have given him that role. His frustration got the better of him. Crouch (who I do not like) was far more effective up front on his own.
Having fought for so long with 10 men, I never ever thought that penalties was in England's best interest.
At the end of the day Sven did no worse than most England managers. Are we ever going to get the message that we are a top 8 side buit not much better.
Watching this Scottish (John McEnroe whinger style gobby) play some wonderful tennis against Roddick at Wimbledon - 2 sets up - 1 all in third set. Have us English got to support a Scot LOL :-)
