Same old rubbish
I'm trying hard not to get too upset about England's performances so far in this world cup, but it's hard to bite your lips when they churn out tosh like this. Yet again, our defence were exposed on set pieces, school boy mistakes which should never happen at this level. Beore tonight, even though we weren't playing well, at least we didn't look like conceding goals. Now we have a keeper who suddenly looks lost, the defence just ball watching and because Crouch has to help out in set pieces, we have no outlet up front to ease the pressure when we pump the ball forward.
All these talk of finishing the group as group winners so we can avoid the stronger teams before the latter stages of the tournament. I bet all the other teams are rubbing their hands in glee and hope they can draw against us. Owen looks as though will be out of the tournament with that injury, we only have 1 striker that;s fully fit and ready. It's absurd to think of players like Jenas and Carrick who doesn't look like they'll get a part to play in this tournament got picked over a 5th striker.
The balance of the team will never be right as long as Beckham gets picked no matter how shit he plays. I hope he gets injured in training and won't take part in the rest of the tournament. If there ever was a player who's playing on his past glory, it is Beckham. And he will be the reason we won't progress any further then the quarter finals, IF we can even get past Ecuador >.<
On a lighter note, this tournament has exceeded my expectations with the quality of football. Don't write off the Germans as everybody seemed to be doing before this world cup started. They look useful and play some really nice attacking football. Their defence looks suspect, but the problem for other teams is they are well capable of scoring more then they concede. With home advantage, a place in the final isn't beyond them.
