The media goes ballistic at the English squad. Rio is unhappy with the fans. This on the heels of a 5-1 drubbing of Kasakhstan. The 4-1 beating of Croatia seems to have raised the bar a whole lot higher. England does not have a holding midfielder and to pretend Gerrard, Lampard, or Barry would fill the role is pretty wishful thinking on Capello’s part. That and the defense had a collective lobotomy performed on them.
England won because of some nice whipping crosses that the pint size Kasakhs were unable to get their heads on or away. They won the aerial game.
