Terry and Lampard failed to reach the heights of their club levels and once all the teams worked out J Cole only ever cut inside he couldn't do anything at all in the second round and quarter final
our best player was probably Hargreaves and he's hardley world class.. the fact that he out shone Rooney, Lampard, Gerrard etc who are world class players say alot about the effort the others put in

I'm not a fan of Hargreaves and would never have thought he should have got picked for the team in the first place, but he WAS world class against Portugal, credit where credit's due. Rio Ferdinand (much as I don't like him either) was also fab. I think Gerrard started pulling away after he got carded and was worried about missing matches. Fatty Lamps was poor though. Joe Cole, agreed - although I do think his goal was one of the best of the tournament. Lennon is world class too, just didn't get enough minutes on the pitch.
