England
James - the usual - solid but one moment of madness
Hart - utter s**te. Honestly, I don't see why he is involved. I'd rather Joe Lewis play than him, and certainly Greeno ahead of him. Just happens to be English and play in the Prem.
Ferdinand - easy. Don't see the point of him being there.
Woodgate - passed quite well for a defender
Bridge - pretty solid game - always a professional backup for Cole
Johnson - not bad. Certainly better than he looked a few years back at Chelsea
Jagielka - Jagielka ?!! Do we have no better centre backs ?!! I mean, he did OK, but international level ?!
Gerrard - utter utter s**te, although I wouldn't drop him as he does normally perform for England. Just didn't seem to want to be there and was lazy in his passing.
Barry - I think the best player on the park.
Downing - did well but against that right back so would I have done. Was surprised by the quality of his passing though. Good job.
Beckham - not his best game, although a couple of great deliveries. Was pleased to see him replaced at half time.
Bentley - one day, when he learns that he is playing for a team and not himself, he will be an international player.
Ashton - I'm still looking forward to his debut. I'm surprised he didn't play last night and Capello instead decided to start with 10 men.
Defoe - Banjo. Cow's arse. Odd really, as he is usually such a good finisher at club level, and the goal is the same shame in international football...
Crouch - oh dear. Novelty has worn off not.
Walcott - now he is the kind of play we should be giving 90 minutes in games like this instead of Defoe, Crouch and Beckham (although I understand the latter was political to do with the CONCACAF vote). Exciting player but needs to be involved.
Young - totally out of his depth. Maybe one for a year or two down the line.
Warnock - no idea. Didn't have enough to do.
