NOT going to rub it in

Ah come on Jonesey, I am not the type to rub it in. I know its a real sinking feeling for the English – Hell our cricket team does it to all 1 billion Indians everytime since 1983. Tough luck, you lost to a better team. But the English had a good tournament-no point moaning

COME ON GERMANY !!!!!!!!!!!!

RE: Did I miss something?

Definitely!!! You don’t have to be ashamed of your team.
We (Frenchmen) are ashamed of ours. I couldn’t dream of a more pathetic performance even in my worst nightmares -:(.

Anyway my purpose was just to tease my dear Bristish friends a bit -:)

RE: Did I miss something?

No you didnt – it may be that certain individuals (squasher? :D) are being very decent about the whole thing and not rubbing it in…or, and this is probably more likely :-), timezones are such that theyve not hit the board yet!!!

About the game….what can you say? The sending off wasnt right but the result probably was. If we couldnt put on a more convincing display against 10 men, even in those conditions, we dont really deserve to progress. Scholes’ performance was pitiful and Keiron Dyer was, from the performance I saw, literally that….dire!.

Be interesting to see how Hargreaves develops from this and how the team looks when we can slot Steve Gerrard back into midfield. I think we have to look towards Euro ’04 with a lot of confidence from the way the teams’ played in SE Asia. We played with all the heart in the world against Argentina and with all the technical skill I’ve ever seen in an England team against Denmark and, IMO, those are the two main qualities in a succesful squad.

As an overview I dont think we had a bad tournament and we’ll take a few positive lessons away from it. Also, lets face it, losing against Brazil in the quarters’ is no real cause for hung heads. I just wish we’d made a bit more of a fight of it in the second half.
