    Apart from the karate kick into fresh air that lead to the equaliser.

    He then compounded how ridiculous he looked by waving his arms at the officials for handball/offside????

    Coco couldn't have made a bigger clown of himself if he'd driven into the centre circle in a back firing diddy car who's wheels and doors fell off in a cloud of bright orange smoke.

    Lineker is right in his assessment of England - we are miles behind the best teams in the world and if we qualify for the 2014 world cup we will do well to get beyond the group stages.

    ... that would be my take. Players like Cahill, Barry, Milner, Lescott, Carrick (I could go on) are England class (given what is available to us) ... but they are considerably short of world class - for me, none of them would get on the German, Spanish, Dutch (or indeed Croatian or Belgian) benches - which just shows how far we have fallen in relative terms.

    Not to mention Italy and Portugal and that's before we get onto the South American teams! Sorry to say it, but I don't forsee the day when we can be considered genuine tournament contenders again :(

    It's just so boring, that's what I find. I'm going to watch tomorrow because we'll at least get to see a bit of flair from Brazil. All our national players just seem to be incredibly lethargic, it's like no one's taught them how to run yet.
