Hmm... I think we need to stick Sven in a boat half way to Sweden and pull the plug on it!
Rooney is one of the best players in the world, no doubt about it but he (along with others) were used wrongly. You can't stick Rooney on his own up front, surrounded by four defenders and lump balls at him all day... If you're going to do that you might as well play Crouch instead of Rooney.
England's midfield, on paper, is surely one of the best, if not the best, midfield in the world but they just didn't come together - even Gerrard played alright, but not how we know Gerrard can play... Not that it was their fault, if they're played out of their natural position then what do you expect. That's why Rooney couldn't score. In the end I just think he got more and more frustrated and that's why he had a go at Ronaldo... Although, I know that's no excuse. He's got a hot head and it probably helps his game but there are downsides to that too.
Unrealistic though it may be, please please give the bloody England manager job back to Terry Venables! You listen to him on ITV and just think if you put him in the dressing room, you get the feeling things would be so much better. Failing that Sam Allardyce.
Having said all that, it was the best match we'd played all tournament today - especially after Rooney got sent off, everyone seemed to sort of fall into their club positions and play a lot better.

You are a disgrace and I'm looking forward to when someone you respect dies so I can rub your liberal face in it.
