looks like he was right

Unfortunately he was. :doh

At least we are spared the embarrassment of another mauling by the Germans

I have to say the best team on the night won in the end. It was all one way traffic.

I wonder how many people get, the reason England are so rubbish, is because to them "it's just another game". You only need to look at their attitude afterwards.

On paper, they are some of the world top players. Italy aren't that much better (again on paper), and Germany certainly aren't what they used to be.

If Wayne Rooney had the same attitude when playing for his club, Alex Ferguson would rip him a new one and shove his new hairpiece up it!

Well, that's just my opinion, maybe there's other reasons
