Except for players like Cole, Lennon, Gerrard & Hargreaves the England philosophy seemed to be more about keeping goals out than putting them in.
Hoping that Beckham will score from a free kick or that your side would get a penalty is not what I'd call a professional plan of action.

England are a different kettle of fish, it looked to me like we did not have a plan, just a blind faith that it would be all right on the night, look at the Germans for instance they have gone into the last two World Cups with pretty poor teams and yet they have finished 2nd and 3rd, mainly due to planning and preperation.
