We can hold off on the Steven Gerrard visit to David Cameron for a discreet prime ministerial inquiry into an English debacle.
It will not happen. Samir “Hand”anovic’s hands were not quick enough to block out Jermain Defoe’s knee on the ball although for a split second the Slovenian goalie fancied a ghost of a chance.
James Milner whipping in a cross in the 22nd minute which connected with the pint sized Defoe on a body part that was more in line with the goal. There are two reasons to be glad it was not Emile Heskey in the midst.
First, he would not have been able to get there. Second, a knee for Defoe is an ankle for Heskey. Which one would you prefer?
