I don't think this English team in particular is very vocal...except for maybe John Terry. Owen's quiet, Gerrard same, Lampard same, Beckham same...Terry's probably in disbelief of how bad they actually are as a team....and wanting to tear Sven's head off.
Props to T&T for a great game. They did what they had to do and even came close to sscoring!
Gerrard's goal was something else. Props to Stevie G. who has got to be exhausted after 63 plus games for Liverpool this season alone. 63!!
Crouch finally scored on a header. Crouch should be a sub in my opinion. He's someone who can give you a totally different dynamic in a second half. Lennon made Jamie C. look ordinary. AGain, as an LFC fan I love Carra, but he shouldn't be starting.
Beckham...what can I say...great cross for Crouch's header but little else for 90 minutes. His crosses were horrendous except for one or two...and when that is what he's in there for, it's not good enough.

The entire english Squad looked tired and worn out, if you ask me.
After that match, I think England are going to win the whole thing.
That has to sound crazy as all hell... but I get this feeling that regardless of who they are against, England are a team that will play just a little bit better than their opponent. England will beat Sweden 1-0, then beat Ecuador 1-0, etc, making them the most boring team to win the Cup. ever. Blame Sven.
Brazil didn't look any better against Croatia, so it's not like there's any runaway team out there aside from maybe the Czechs, who probably don't have enough strike power without Baros to easily beat a top team. I hope that they manage to get back at least Koller for the Italy match.

Tis possible that is what they are doing, I did wonder it, perhaps they are playing as needed in a cold corperate manner, saving their energy for later games.
I'm not a big footie fan really, but I always thought it was meant to be a game of spirit and passion. I'd rather support a no hoper team that had spirit and passion than a £100 million corperate entity.

Well, the English players have got to be exhausted. Maybe there is a little bit of "saving themselves" for the latter stages....if any just a tiny little bit. The Premiership has too many teams and they play too many games....not to mentioin how physically demanding it is. Heck, when everybody else is resting during X-mas the English league is the only league in the world that keeps playing.
The Liverpool players for example, have played in excess of 60 games. Think about it...60 games. The Chelsea players played a lot of games too.
And about the corporate entities...it could be worse. You could be a Brasilian and your team selection could be heavily influenced (dictated?) by Nike. I.e Ronaldo.
have a walk-over (assuming E vs GER in the 2. round.)
Nah. It won't be a walkover considering the history that England and Germany have in the World Cup and England's traditionally slow start in the competition.

As good as an analysis as your Copa America's.
into their own half. A bunch of cobblers, postmen and
halftime country players versus a 100.000.000$ Team.
Amazing.

I think England are a bunch of cocks and TT did themselves proud.

Well. In this condition i believe Germany will
have a walk-over (assuming E vs GER in the 2. round.)

I think that Spain are going to win, by the way.
They are on in 10 minutes!

Spain looks strong. One of my other favourites for winning is Argentina.

NOW
Btw, if Brasilia get rid of "Round"aldo, than you
have to count them with.
1-0 after 6 minutes...
