MAAN!!!
Most of them (England) dont even look too bothered that they lost! You'd expect them to be at least close to tears or lying on the floor clasping their heads in despair. i swear that some of them look relieved to be going back to their well pa*d careers...
This team needs a good shake up, its the same old that couldnt be bothered to qualify for the last competition.

I think certain players need a p*y freeze (or cut).

In domestic football we need to go to a set appearance rate with bonuses for certain play i.e. goals scored, goals defended and fines for yellow cards, red cards etc.
We have to realise that our international standard is bourne from our domestic culture and the way our domestic game is run has to answer serious questions before our international game can improve. Throughout this whole tournament we have had 23 players and a manager plus coaching staff who have not worked to the expectations the nation wanted. I do accept that as fans we put too much pressure on the squad but they should be proud to play for their country and appreciate the undying support they get from the nation even though they let us down time and time again.
Sorry end of my rant................................. just so frustrating.................................

Re: Football
Well what a very poor performance from England. 
Our defence looked so non-existant on so many occasions, it was like watching a third rate school team play. We were very lucky to lose 4 - 1, Germany could have had so many more!
So we are out of the tournament with only one win under our belts, and that to a side of dubious quality. After such an overall poor team showing in the tournament it seems unfair to single out individuals for particular criticism. But, I must say that Wayne Rooney's overall performance in all the matches completely failed to live up to expectations and is worthy of a special mention.
I'm just pleased that Lampard's controversial non-goal was not a deciding factor in the overall result.
On the day the better side won, and very convincingly at that!!
Anyhow, Congratulations to Germany and Beate! Good luck in your future matches
