If the linesman isn't a f**king spastic the entire game changes. On a sidenote, how many shots did Lampard have in the 06 and 10 world cups that looked destined for the net only to be denied by a great save or hit the woodwork? Must be the unluckiest player of the last 2 tournaments.

Germany were awesome on the counter in the second half, but if it's 2-2 England aren't throwing everyone forward like that...not that I think they needed to.

How Barry and Upson started ahead of Dawson and Carrick is beyond me. Rooney also did nothing for four games. Really upset right now.

But really though, England's main c**k up was not qualifying first in their group and hence, missing out on a relatively easy run to the semis.

Because Carrick is sh*thouse? Barry>Carrick (although Barry mightn't have been completely fit). England really could've done with Hargreaves not breaking down over the last few years.

Oh and Jamie Carragher>the rest of the centre backs

 

[Noa]

Because he was playing out wide all night?

He switched with Barry plenty of times.

Fact is he has minimal subtlety and technique to his game whatsover and either he plays RM and stays on there (instead of cutting in all the time) or leave him out.

Personally id leave him out.

True...Rooney's sitter against Slovenia that he rattled into the post cost them dearly.

Unlike the English the Germans will not be making a DVD made of this match.
