Stuart, Considering the manger's complete lack of tactical knowledge I think we did much better than we could have hoped for.
Really, to go into a World cup with 2 strikers inured, one who has NEVER played a competitive premiership match (why did he bother taking him?) and one other who is a mediocre (but TALL) target man who should be playing in the Championship if he isn't given any service from other players really shows how far out of touch Sven was. And who have we replaced him with? The very same person who has actively supported all these stupid decisions! Amazing. Bring back Venables. I really don't care what he got up to in his private life, at least we played attractive football with him in charge. Meanwhile the "Swede" walks away with £4m a year - so maybe heisn't THAT stupid after all.

Didn't think my nerves could take it. England did outplay Portugal. I think it was Sven's tactics, or the lack them, that cost us the victory. The lack of support for Rooney during the first half meant he was wasted player. France v Brazil - when will I guess the outcome of a game in this World Cup. Not the score, just the winner would be start. Stuart __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
