I damn well did watch the game.

I felt that in the first half we lacked the critical touch to get ourselves in a goal scoring opportunity. Also, it seemed that all of our players were in the wrong half of the pitch compared to where the ball was. James was unlucky with their goal, which was a bit of a shambles.

The start of the second half was better from us (England) and we deserved to equalise (Rooney) and then go ahead (Beckham). I would have prefered for us to have continued attacking but we sat back and defended.

On a side note, the crowd, which was mainly made up of 17,000 Macedonians, behaved quite appallingly in some cases. I'll wait to see what punishment they will be given.

As you said, on to Wednesday. :biggrin:

/me laughs at Hektik sniper's DRUNKEN STATE.

I watched it, but Italy's 4-0 win against Wales showed a much higher class of football from both sides.

ah hell im surprised i acutually managed to get the ib code right the state i was in last night, still football does fucking suck

[cops2k3]

we deserved to win in terms of performance against there side, but we were absolute shocking. Sol Campbell played well on the whole but why all the low headers? there was no need! ashley cole kept wandering into the center and letting the guy on their right wing creep in, frank lampard looked like this was the first time he'd played football..... rooney was all over the place in the first half.......

in the first half they were genuinely better than us - we were attrocious. but they still won so i'm not TOO displeased

Hopefully Sven will learn from the mistakes England made In the first half and on the Wednesday game make them like they was In the second half this time all 90 mins, hopefully we can manage a draw atleast.

England gonna beat Lichtenstein ( or however u spell it) 3-0, then draw 2-2 with Turkey, and qualify!!!! (if rioting fans don't get us kicked out)
