Tbh we looked like a mediocre team from start to finish. Portugal werent much better.

Rooney hardly looked crap, in the games he played he pretty much seemed to be one of handful of players actually trying. The problem was the problem england have had throughout the time of sven and thats sven thinks that naming big names and playing them in any role guarentees a win which isnt true. A team of nobodies whom are playing in suitable positions and play as a team will always do better than a team of stars playing in the wrong positions and as individuals.
Rooney was isolited when he was upfront on his own, Lampard was a joke the whole world cup and Gerrard just didnt get forward like the 5 man midfield should have allowed him. You could see him getting annoyed at the lack of support he was getting not only this game but the last and you could see the red card coming the longer Sven refused to make any changes. Hey I was getting wound up and i wasnt our there running myself into the ground
Thank god Svens now out of the door, hopefully now we will get rid of some of the deadwood in the squad and we will finally start to build a good team that doesnt just sit back and expect to be gifted a win
