Except that the Gerrard goal WAS a cracker, hit with the foot he prefers to stand on, if you see what I mean.
Apart from that a teeny bit laboured and less than inspiring.
Winning when playing pants is the mark of a dark-horse side that has its name on the trophy.
Discuss.... ;D

England v Trinidad and Tobago
69.2% Possession 30.8%
2 Goals Scored 0
28 Attempts on Goal 10
6 Shots on Target 2
16 Shots off Target 4
6 Blocked Shots 4
7 Corners Won 3
16 Fouls Conceded 19
2 Offsides 2
1 Yellow Cards 5
0 Red Cards 0
15 Tackles 13
66.7% Tackle Success 76.9%
80.7% Passing Accuracy 69.9%
514 Passes 229
Personally I prefer the facts to opinion, we over analyse our performance and expect more than we should. The match stats above tell the truth and that is a match completely dominated start to finish. This is a World Cup, are you expecting to win every game 5-0? get real and take what you have - 2 wins, no goals conceded, qualified out of the group into the second round. Just exactly what more do they have to do?

I'm quite happy with England so far, actually. What I'm not happy with is the moooooooaners who'll never be satisfied with a less than perfect performance. Last night's postings were drunk  |

World Cup isn't a sprint, it's a marathon. We need to work at a steady pace throughout like we are (though perhaps a bit better) rather than go all out in the group stages and burn ourselves out.

OK. We can play "Let's miss the point" if you want to - but just in case you aren't - here it is!  Lots of media hype over just how brilliant Brazil are. Ditto re the expectations this side of the channel. Fack all realisation thus far. Not saying that one or the other cannot win the competition, and you can prove or disprove anything with a bunch of numbers by the way! Or interpret them as you wish - which in my case would be a lot of huff, puff, some imagination and no real end product  At what point does a team have to start looking competent in order to be taken seriously?  |

didn't take long did it. if you don't agree with the points in my post then argue against them, prove me wrong. deleting my post only proves me right. thank you. you said discuss, so I did, if you don't want to discuss then don't say it in the first place. DJ- I've spoken to ISIHAC and neither of us had made any edits or removed any posts. Nobody else has the power to do so, so perhaps it was a problem at your end: maybe you clicked post and it ate your post like it sometimes does mine! Whatever it was, I assure you that nobody has been out to get your posts. 
I suggest that you edit this post so that it looks exactly like the original one that you found missing.
