They just seem to give up after Rooney went off and just defended deeply in their own half.
: I remember walking out of Wembley after the
: Euro '96 semi final knowing that the best
: team lost...not tonight though.
: Though disappointed when the final whistle
: went this evening, I don't feel all that P'd
: off...even though a perfectly good goal was
: disallowed right at the end. At the end of
: the day the best team won. Apart from that
: cheat Ronaldo McDonaldo (and that twat of a
: ref) I thought the Portuguese were excellent.
: It did crystalise a view I've held for a few
: games though:
: - We are defensively brittle..and have been
: since the start of the tournament.
: - Rooney has been fantastic.
: - Erickson is tactically inept.....what the
: hell were we doing sitting so deep game after
: game. Tonight was Brazil all over again. I
: think he has some issues to resolve before
: the World Cup. Maybe even time for a change ?
: - Terry is overated and looked like a
: frightened rabbit for most of the tournament.
: - Scholes is too slow and way past his sell
: by date.
: - James is an average keeper to say the
: least.
: - This should be a wake up call to
: Beckham...time to decide whether he wants to
: be a fashion model or a world class
: footballer, he looked unfit and jaded.
: Good luck Portugal and the Czechs..it would
: be a travesty if France won it again.
