Its funny how different eyes see different games, I thought England did ok, They won which is the main thing and while they were down to 10men.

I think Gerrard and Crouch played well, Some really nice touch's from Crouch, held the ball up well and also link up with owen pretty well I would say, Only for Beckham got in his way, He would have scored aswell so think its harsh saying he had a bad game especially after there was pretty much no service after Beckham got his marching orders unjustly.

Now Gerrard, The critism he gets is extremely harsh, He played very well in that game especially with the shackles on, Obviously you cannot compare his perfomances with how he plays for Liverpool because he plays where he is best there, As an attacking midfielder, In the England team his true talents are being sacrafised for the benefit of Lampard who is a pretty similar player without the defensive part of Gerrard's game, So how can he put in the same performances.

It is Sven's fault, He needs to open his eyes and see that both of these players are too similar to play together, And he should have the balls to drop one of them and play a better player in the holding role like Carrick or even Parker, Luckly for him maybe Gerrards injury will give him the chance to do that in the next game and I bet they play better, Not because Gerrards not playing but because he will have the right players playing in the right position's.

Another thing Beckham should not be Captian, It should be given too someone like a Gerrard or a Terry who would inspire the English players a lot more than Beckham does on and off the pitch for all the right reasons.
