Better than expected???!!!!

Come on guys, whether its Jose Morinho, Capello, Hodgson or my mum managing the team, getting out of that group would have been a given.

Hodgeson didn't do anything radically differerent - remeber if Lampard hadn't been injured he would have played Gerrard and Lamps together.

I thinking Rooney's inclusion was a turning point. Bowing to public pressure and picking a striker who was unfit and out of form didn't contribute to the team in my opinion.

Same old England, same old result.

Come on Portugal!
