The newspapers were full of what you would expect this morning. My own WC post mortem on England is nowhere near as bad. I`m still convinced had Lampard`s goal stood with the game at 2:2, and with England in the asendency the Germans would have been rocked especially their goalkeeper who was terrible for much of the match. Not saying England would have won, but the last two goals conceded were from those of a dejected team who had seen a goal disallowed and a second Lampard effort denied by the woodwork as well.
England really missed Ferdinand which would have allowed Terry to play his more natural position, neither of his replacements could do it. King was a walking hospital and Carragher oh dear!!! Upson played like a lion at times but just not good enough at this level.
But Capello should have known all this, an ITALIAN COACH who should know how to build a solid defence as this is what Italians do best but I suppose given his terrible command of English this wasn`t easy for him to do.
