    Bleugh! That was dreadful. No not the pitch or the crowd, the performance! Sven had better hand over to Steve McClaren methinks.

    Scholles on the left wing!! Why not play Ashley Cole there
    and put Wayne Bridge in at the left-bcak. It could'nt be any worse.

    Still two good goals by Owen, ahem! ;)

    Classic Moty - he seemed to think Prague was the capital
    of Slovakia!

    Fair play to the Slovaks, good game from my point of view.

    England got out of jail if you ask me.

    The Slovaks did very well.

    I think Gerard should have walked and so too should Beckham.

    It was a fairly indisciplined performance by the English, which actually surprised me a little - the fan's performance of course didn't :rolleyes:

    Gerrard was getting very tetchy at one point, sheer frustration no doubt, if it was'nt for the fact the game
    would have been very hard to re-schedule it might have been cancelled, I know the Slovaks played the conditons
    much better, but still it was wretched as indeed were the locals, racist boo-boys, whisles the lot, I was expecting to see some nazi banners....I flicked on the TV5 coverage of France-Slovenia what a difference, a perfect pitch in a great staduim and a happy packed house.

    I don't think you should be complaining. It was a terrible place to be playing and to come out with a 2-1 win should be enough to dispel complaints about a poor performance

    Just remember that that that was the win that will get you qualified from the group. Not to many teams would have gotten out of Bratislava with a win and the Slovakians were certainly up for it last night.

    BTW, I also noticed that Motty comment. He seemed to think the Slovakian FA chose Bratislava over Prague because the stadium had a better athmosphere .... and not because Prague is in a different country! :)

    [OT]

    This is one of the countries who'll be allowed into the EU if we vote yes to Nice. Not sure I wan't people like that working next to me.

    [/OT]

    The game was just hard to watch, the conditions were so bad. Fair play to England, it wasn't easy.
