But gives no credit whatsoever to a side who had two world class

players only in A. Cole and Rooney, the latter being not match fit, reducing Pirlo for 90 minutes to mostly tickling it around at the edge of the box (to be fair, my weak point LOL) and despite all his genius, holding them goalless for 120 minutes. Bit of luck - the guys I was watching with in Turkey did suggest I should become religious - but really he was so brilliant with the ball but spent 90% of the game looking here and there for an outlet. I think Woy did a fantastic job with the resources he had. And that's from someone who really didn't think he should get the job.
