Back to England...

I’d like to see us being less predictable and rigid. 4-4-2 with a big striker and more skilful one playing off (ie Heskey/Crouch and Rooney) means that the 4 can’t lose shape. What I loved about Germany was the movement and the fact that only Klose was playing as an outright striker. They were effectively either 4-5-1 or 4-3-3 depending on defending or attacking or equally 4-3-2-1. Nightmare to mark but reliant on decent players who can adapt. The nonsense with Gerard/Lampard is that they patently can’t adapt despite their incredible qualities.

Capello knows our limitations though. He said we'd play the English way... He’s clearly no mug and knows we can’t control possession. What we can do is run and harry for 90 minutes and lump it forward to a big man or score from set pieces. If it wasn’t our country we’d condemn it for being the limited tactics of footballing Neanderthals. And yet we invented the game and have more interest in the sport than anywhere else and more people playing it than only a handful. Depressing really.

Is there a better name at this world cup than Waldo Ponce?

My new favourite team: Chile.

Vamos la Roja!

To be fair, they were going for it even when one up! Let's see what they can do against better opposition!

I'm hoping for a Chile v North Korea final. That would be just awsome.

I wonder if the North Korean press are praising their team after their heroic six nil defeat of Brazil! All praise the mighty leader!

I fancy England v Bongo Bongoland in the final!
