Poland having rather the better of the opening exchanges in the second half; from what the pundits said at HT the same was true of the first too. The way Jagielka missed a routine clearance suggesting he's of the opinion he should be helping out his grandfather's countrymen.
Still, spawny goal off Rooney's shoulder or not, I'd take 1-0.

I'm watching the cricket, the first-half was enough for me, it's like watching repeats of a **** show, just can't keep the ball, just depressing.
Oh **** now it's raining, think I'll watch Pointless.

Fair result. Poland were the better team but their attack looked horribly ineffective, if it weren't for Hart's brainfart it's hard to see where a goal was coming from. England insisted on using Defoe as a target man in the second half, Lescott's distribution especially was a total joke.

Sounds like a good job I missed nearly all of it. Obv no surprise to hear that England were incapable of passing the ball. Or capable of holding onto a lead.
Most depressing thing for me may eventually be Rooney overtaking Greaves, Lineker & Charlton to become our highest goal scorer. Given the number of matches he'll play in soft qualifiers, still being in his mid-20s and given the lack of talent coming through to challenge for his place in the side, it's almost a certainty. There really is no justice.

Only just scraped through, as well. Still, could be worse. Could be losing at home to Azerbaijan, joining this list of away wins...

To be fair the scoreline of the swede-English match flattered Sweden somewhat, due to the brilliance of Ibra, and Hart just proving that he's not all that.
Funny though, I quite liked our performance up to then. Yeah all the new players were individually mediocre or awful, but at least there was an energy level about our play that has been lacking for years. Stevie actually played okay with legs around him.
We're still second-rate, but it wasn't terrible to watch.

First of many irritating surrenderings of possession from Rooney.

That's an awful offside decision.

England have been good, probably overpassed it in some respects since there's no real point in passing it around at the back against this lot and they'll cough up possession straight away anyway.
Still need a few more though. Goal difference is important.

Yeah, I came in here to say exactly that. A brutal, useless mauling, that isn't fun for anyone to watch. Should do away with this sort of thing.
