Yup. I don't bother watching their pre/middle/post game opinions. I get so angry listening to them.

Pretty sure if Downing and Carroll had been on, England would have won comfortably. /troll

England look hard to break down when they don't have the ball, well organised (a feature of Hodgson's teams) I think they can do well if they can counter attack faster/more precisely.

Or counter-attack at all.

Interesting to see this next game. We should make it out of the group now.

The attacking relied on 3 players Alex Ox, Young and Welbeck, rest of the team looked static didn't really want to move and didn't really want to win

It had a lot to do with that crap ref. Everytime England tried to counterattack, they were fouled on purpose with no punishment. Usually by Cabaye. Got very irritating.

How Milner made the team over Johnson lord knows.

Only Torres would've missed the chance Milner had.

Yeah, I saw that. Was starting to think the ref was siding for France. Come to think of it, that ref was quite bad :/

Yeah, the Dutch also had Huntelaar (Bundesliga top scorer) and he also didn't score.

Torres gets a lot of flak unfairly IMO. It's not always about scoring goals, its about dragging defenders away and creating space, which is something Torres did well in that game.

Well England probably would've lost if they played a more attacking style. (Benzema, Nasri, Ribery with space can hurt you badly!) I thought England did well. They definitely won't be as defensive against Ukraine and Sweden.

yeah they did well but then what happens when they make it through

Hart played very well dammit ...that goal was just by luck

Benzema had 2 brilliant strikes saved
 
England were lacking on the attack. with the type of style they played, it would have made sense to start Carrol to hold up the ball for the midfielders. young's role was clueless as he cannot play that type of role. they should have rather played him on the wing where he is more effective. pity gerrard could not be more offensice as he would have linked up nicely with the attacking players.

yep very much ...he is waiting for rooney which would be too late maybe

since rooney would play youngs role moving young to the left and ox/useless milner on the right and parker and gerrard in the middle

woy got is so wrong with the attacking tactics... leave Welbeck to fend for himself and expect Young and Milnar to attack without him...
