October 13, 200717 yr Author Entertaining first half Rooney could have made it 4-0, as the ball was dipping, but I reckon it will fall flat in the second half, as they are comfortably in the lead.

October 13, 200717 yr The media will be hailing McLaren as the second coming of christ now that England have beaten 3 barely pub team level teams on the trot I can't see how. Unlike the alright performance against Israel, and the good performance against Russia, we are awful today despite being 3-0 up. All 3 of England's goals were down to a slice of fortune. We played much better at Wembley against Brazil & Germany in recent friendlies and we did not win either match. Going through the England side apart from Gareth Barry, none of our players have played well IMHO.
October 14, 200717 yr I only saw the 2nd half of this, but we were truly terrible considering the opposition in the 2nd half. But saying that, Englandf just totally sat back and knew they had the 3 points in the bag and by that time I reckon most of the players minds were on the game with Russia. Barry was excellent again in the centre of midfield though.
October 14, 200717 yr Luke Young has been called up to replace Ashley Cole. I'm kinda swinging towards playing Phil Neville on Wednesday over Nicky Shorey, at times like this we need to rely on experience and we know he can do the job! (well just forget what happened in Euro 2000 :lol: )
October 15, 200717 yr That's what I don't like about England, fair enough they had won the match in the first half but they get so complacent sometimes, they should have just gone on to finish on 6/7-0 because they can And booing Lampard wasn't really on either :rolleyes:
October 15, 200717 yr One of the commentators made a really stupid comment, there that period where Estonia had four corners in a row just after Lampard had came on and the commentator said that it had been all Estonia since Lampard had came on asif the corners where all his fault.
