We are a nation in disarray. And I can tell you we are not feeling too good, English hooligans aside. England was supposed to come out and beat up the competition. The best midfield in the world with Lampard, Cole, Gerrard, and Beckham, and what we saw was a team that held onto the ball far too long, and forgot to play one touch football.
Now we are relying too much on the health of Rooney to pull us through. I want to ask Sven Goran, did he see the Spain – Ukraine match? Andriy Shevchenko was supposed to do the same but he was completely shut down.
We have to forget that we are personalities and play like a team. Not Becks, not Gerrard, not Rio. If we do not pull through the T&T match, we can go back to playing cricket. Yaaarghh!
One comment on “This is it: England can put up or shut up”
Granted, the 3 Lions hardly put on a convincing performance again Paraguay, but they did manage to come away with 3 points. That’s what really matters.
Hopefully England can continue to play better which will lead to them peaking and firing on all pistons as the Cup progresses, assuming they advance out of group play.
