I've been completely mystified from the beginning why anyone would start Milner for England, and that sums it up. Not just an atrocious miss, but one he screwed up completely from the start. Of course, on the other hand, he is slow. At least Chamberlain and Wellbeck are starting. They may not be that great, but at least they're young and fast. Please don't put in Carrol. Not only is he awful, he might get hurt, which would really help Liverpool.
Just like I predicted: a brilliant Gerrard free kick, and Lescott buries it. Okay, well I didn't really predict that at all. Now for the inevitable England collapse.
Good stuff, early days though, should open the game up now, we'll see, next goal is crucial, another for us, belief, Frogs equalise, we'll get edgy again.
Scored the first goal in the first game in the last 8 tournaments!...then gone on to lose or draw...is that right!...what a lovely record to have!
Maybe it's just as well they let the team in blue have the ball all the time. It's embarrassing when they try to do something with it.
