There weren't many you could say who had a good game either

Robinson was a bit iffy, if that was James in goal, the witchunt would have started by now

They played one up front and one alone put the s**ts up the defence

Lampard with Gerrard defencive is a joke. I've talked about how crap Lampard has been in the prem (usually is greated with "but he got 14 goals, how can you say it?). Gerrard is wasted in that role

Beckham had a very bad game. Cole threatened but didn't really produce

The game changed with the substitutions. I fail to see how that deserves any praise for Sven, because he should know by now what he 4 4 2 formation is like after 2 years of playing it

The subs however changed the formation and for the first time in the game T and T had a different formation to defend, other than Northern Ireland tactics of giving it to Beckham to lump into the box

I'll get slagged off for this post, but it was the trend of the game

England cannot blame the heat for this one
