We are just awful, no plan B,no attacking threat, Young is tell on the field.

We just aren't a good side. No blame about 'plan B' or whatever, we just don't have the players

 

[ringo]

England are out on their feet

We should be able to field a side that can produce more than this. Its not like italy are the best side in the tournament.

Hodgson's decision to take off Milner ahead of Young was a very bad one in hindsight.

 

[Stiff_Swede]

England to win on penalties, Italians have the worst nerves.

 

[ArcspacE]

If recent events are to go by - England should win the penalty shoot-out with ease

I agree with this. Still I don't think Hodgson has played a blinder either. After our second match, Carroll and Welbeck should have started. Rooney is clearly not up to match sharpness and he is the one who should have been used as an impact sub. No Lennon in the squad too was a strange decision for me.

 

[Kingdawson]

Rooney should have fouled in that earlier passage of play.

 

[Modric THFC]

I wouldnt trust any of England's players bar Cole and Rooney to take a penalty.

 

[indianspur]

[superspurs]

[GLENROYID]

[DHSF]

England will win this penalty shoot out.

I just cannot believe how brick we have been.

 

[ricky2tricky4city]

Plan b is penalties....qtr's.semis.final.....simples

 

[Armchair Expert]

shame that were that sort of side these days. Thoroughly depressing way to play your football.

 

[Kingdawson]

So Cole, Rooney , Gerrard, Young and ????

 

[nerdved]

England to win this.

 

[chancer]

England seem to have done A LOT of penalty work this week from what we've heard out of the camp.

Disagree completely. They don't have to be the best side in the tournament to be better than us. Our performance hasnt been all that bad, decent defending, especially last ditch on second and third chances.

 

[Kingdawson]

Carroll?
