Keown was going on about his explosive pace but he looked so slow. He never once beat his man. Lennon came on and immediately did it. Lennon has also been out a lot with injury. I can't comment on Walcott for Arsenal but for England he has been poor since that Croatia game.

Harry was talking earlier about Dawson and Parker. Why were they even selected? They never even got a chance. Dawson had an excellent season. Both performed well in training. Capello just wasted their time and their emotions.

I'm really am becoming ambivalent about this world cup now. All the team infighting, players out of form, stupid squad selections and tactics, poor friendlies, the lousy ball. It will be amazing if we actually get past the group stage.
