Last minute winner from England and they'll be touted as heroes. I guarantee.

I think we're into the teardown section of the media cycle now regardless of result. Already built up to high heaven, then plateued just before the USA game, when the slide began, so next up is fullscale slating, which will be followed by scapegoating.

Yeah England will score. Don't think Algeria will see this out.

lovin the game so far

How is Heskey still on the pitch, 7 goals in 60, sorry, 61 games now, is just a joke

What's SWP's problem? Everytime he gets the ball he runs into corners.

i think they will need to draw a big name team in the knockouts before we see anything good from them. This is terrible stuff

Hank Scorpio

rooneys been shocking, but i think the entire english team has

He allows Rooney to express himself. Anger, frustration, dismay, all these things Rooney expresses when he plays with Heskey.

That has to be a record for how many time the ball is given away in 30 seconds

Rooney going to midfield??? Ok wtf!!!!

Ah here, do you not know Crouch's international record? He pobably deserves to be on the pitch more so than most, at least he always delivers on a consistent basis.

The England players should be properly ashamed of themselves.

On the bright side for England Beckham is still looking good in a suit

Hank Scorpio

I'm actually surprised that England have been so bad, shocking performances from all their 'top' players. Not sure I'd blame the coach or Heskey as everyone seems to be doing. It's their star names who have been really poor and disinterested. They are very reliant on Rooney and he has been shockingly bad. With Lampard hardly able to pass the ball and Gerrard not much better they haven't a hope.

Poor Becks missed the NBA finals for this sh*t

3 mins. England will score....

Ah sarcasm, how I loath thee.

stumpypeeps

England are actually incapable of playing football. They have not strung more than 5 passes together.

Total lack of basics.
