Wow, no ones said anything about Sven yet. You ask me I recon his 4-5-1 formation did not help much. So many times the ball was booted up to Rooney when he was isolated and possession was given away, this happened the last game as well. With two strikers things would have been more open up there and something might have happened. Look at when Rooney was sent off, England picked up there game and there passing got a little better. If only they played like that from the start with two strikers there would have been a lot more pressure on the Portugal goalie. As it stands he could have sat down and had a cup of tea and England still would not have hit the back of the net. All I can say is thank god this is that last game Sven is in charge. Lets hope things pick up for them.

On Rooney, I think he got quite frustrated out there. Stepping on that lads balls was accidental. I think he got a bit pissed when the Portugal players ran up to the referee pressuring him to give Rooney a card, that’s something English players don’t do. Still it was Rooney’s fault for letting them get to him, but he’s still quite young so give him a brake. Next world cup he’ll be scoring some goals and every body will love him. Anyway, hard luck England. As A Welsh man I was rooting for you to do well this year. I find it sad that despite having a team with some very good players in it they just never look comfortable this time round.
