we weren't good enough and only tested the keeper about once.. that's why we lost..
Sven didn't help as he played one of the best attacking players in the world in a role he can't play effectively reducing us to 10 men before we had even started
i've seen the Roonet stamp a few times and i'm still not sure if he did it on purpose or not.. some angles it looks like he meant it other times it doesn't
none of the teams left are any good and no one has had a great world cup.. a few teams have done ok in one match or two at most.. the world cup was there for the taking and we just weren't good enough |
If the ref had done his job and given a free kick to England whilst there were only TWO portugese players trying to bring Rooney down, rather than letting the third one onto him as well, it might have all been a different story.
