If you wanted my thoughts from the England game (a bit late now I guess

, so I doubt you will care)

The good things to come out of today's game were:
1 - Lennon looked as though he was always going to trouble the defense, and we could use his pace in the knockout round if we need something in the dying stages.
2 - Even though I wouldn't have played him, Rooney at least played came through with 35 minutes under his belt, and not injured.
3 - Crouch scored after missing about 20 chances, so at least he keeps trying and that's all you can ask.

The bad:
1 - Taking shots from outside the box and ballooning them over the bar is becoming repetitive and if you waste your chances in the later rounds you will be punished.
2 - Although he scored Crouch did miss about 20 times.
3 - Walcott didn't get a game again. I said he should go, but if he's not going to be picked, why did Eriksson take him?
4 - Lampard and Joe Cole had pretty poor games for the second game in a row.
5 - Owen is still nowhere near sharp enough to score goals in the knockout round.
6 - It took over 80 minutes to score against Trinidad & Tobago.

Well said..look for Fleet Street to take these considered points and amplify them a thousand times.

And things could be worse; you could be USA supporters.

my god this is considered excitement in this game? Man these teams either need to get their ass in gear or concede to those that want to win.

For a clue at how bad attacking-wise this game is, take a look at how long it's been from the first post on this page to now.

Well SI thinks it's going to be France and Brazil.

Sweden win it 1-0 on Freddie's strike that breaks the monotony - Paraguay are heading back on the first boat to Asuncion.
