It pains me to say it, but Ireland were definitely the worst team in the whole tournament, closely followed by England - yes, even worse than Greece. I can't watch an England match these days without a non-stop pass count in my head: 1-2-3, ball lost and repeat... It is STAGGERING to see how England cannot maintain possession. The two good moves they had yesterday were the result of a string of consecutive passes, but otherwise it was constant losing the ball and crazy champagne passes. Truly amazing, like they were allergic to it. I used to take huge enjoyment from England being hopeless, but now it's just ridiculous. Young, Milner and yes, Gerrard, truly shocking. For those of you who haven't seen them, check out Liam Brady and Eamon Dunphy's half and full time analysis from RTE on YouTube. Priceless. On to my adopted Spain: what IS annoying though is that people say Spain's games are boring like it was Spain's fault, WTF! Spain are the Barcelona of world football at present obviously but France did a Chelsea and employed a blanket defence. Understandable tactic from the french, but if you pick 2 extra defenders you're gonna get the ball even less. Yes the game was a bit dull but blaming the spanish is lunacy.
