England were hitting 40 yard passes first half anyway. Sven just needs to tell them to lay it to feet and Crouch is sure as hell no mug with his touches. The mids didn't produce a final ball all game and didn't do much else. Wow yeah certainly proved me wrong.Matteh said:Erm. No. The key problem with the England midfield is the quality of the final through ball, which atm is awful. The rest of their game is fine, bar Lampard and his shots.
So that England go back to 40 yard hit and hope passes? Pfft.
Essentially it became an utter farce with every challenge becoming a yellow. Got to thank Ivanov for getting Deco + Costinha banned though, also Figo's utter stupidity might get him banned too and Holland hurt Ronaldo....think the core of the Portugal team has been essentially knocked out.
On a brighter note, we haven't seen anywhere near enough nutmegs this tournament. Thankfully last night's game brought the standard up, special mention to Wayne who managed about 3 or 4
