Shit England was boring to watch. Reminded me of Chelsea. It's a bit embarrassing really when the NT from the country with the supposedly best attacking and most exciting league in the world plays like that.
France should really have done a lot better.
Given today's results I think this could be the actual Group of Death - not Group B. Any of the 4 could go through.
Well there is nothing supposedly about it, but the national team do have a way of playing, and Hodgson is hardly the man to change it.
We had people who could run round a bit but not a lot else. We played Ox on the left when he is better on the right, we played Young on the right centre when he plays better from the left. We played Gerrard in a holding mid role but left Carrick, the best player in England at doing that at home.
Plenty of teams can hold the ball in the prem, so we take the two most limited midfielders in the whole comp and ask them to link between attack and defence? Its a shame both Wilshire and Cleverly had injury hit seasons, those two would make this team so much better. They will have to join Liverpool to get picked though...
We missed Rooney. Give him the room that Rami and Mexes gave Young and we win that game. Welbeck works so hard and drags the defenders all over, but we needed someone other than Milner to attack the box.
Boring game though. Benzema didn't want to play in the box and did a few pass backs to Hart from 30 yards. We didn't want to put more than 3 passes together. So the whole game was slow and played in the middle.
