I fully agree England need to improve to progress against better opposition and I am still concerned by the negative tactics of Sven especially when we take a 1-0 lead. I do however not right off our chances like others so quickly do because I believe we can compete at a higher level. Our performance against Argentina surely demonstrated this.

It's the knockout stages and anything can happen.

I'm starting to get nervous.

I would just like to see Gerrard and Lampard play anything like their club form once (or twice).

They have both looked like pale shadows of themselves.

I think Lampard is using Gary Neville's shooting boots!!

If we do happen to go far in the comp it will be inspite of Sven, not because of him - I was screaming at the tele to get lennon on at least ten minutes before he did - that was a perfect situation for him. An outlet, a threat of a second and with no added risk by removing someone who obviously had no energy (or contents of stomach) left!

Agreed - they should be the key to our campaign but instead they are passengers.
