now the FIFA has to get rid of penalties and everything's set for an english victory next year, eh?

Damn, there is nothing i can say. Never seen us play so poorly, we should have lost with bigger goal difference. Just wish u play the same in Ukraine.

...and on the flipside, the England Ladies just lost the Euro 2009 final against Germany 2-6.

Whats "owned" in german?

(To be fair, it was 2-3 until 62mins and then it fell apart. not a bad match)

Was waiting for the shirts off in the goal celebrations but it didnt happen...

what's nice is seeing capello manage what so many experts* said was impossible - teaming lampard (2 goals) with gerard (2 goals)

(*gobshite journalists)

I think having Gerrard and Lampard in the team going forward only works because Barry stays back and/or is a holding midfielder who distributes the ball to them. Without Barry it wouldnt work as well. He's really proving his worth. I was impressed with Glen Johnson during the match also. Lennon got man of the match but he only did his usual thing of running at the defence far too fast and then falling over. Luckily one of the croatians decided to trip him up. Johnson was MOTM for me.

I think you missed Modric, there was definitely something missing for you. That guy who is no.3 for you is a liability, Bilic should get rid of him and your left back, 7 out of 9 goals against you came from your left. I hope we do ukraine again.....no reason why we shouldn't, we're playing well at the moment.
