Was Englnds poor second half performance on saturday......?

Question

due to the lack of options upfront?

I think we have one of the best teams in the competition and were amazing in the first. The way we played in the second half worries the hell out of me though.

Any thoughts?

I've just spotted, I spelt England wrong. Hahahah!

Answer 1

Watching us play in the second half was so surreal it was like a bad dream,it did give us a seriously hot topic that's the talk of the land and 3 points so not as bad as all that and with the draw between Sweden and Trinidad top of the group. I don't have the faintest of what Sven was thinking,Without a striker to play onto Crouch becomes obsolete so if Owen had to come of putting Walcott on would have made more sense than playing Cole behind Crouch. I understand why he Didn't play Rooney,i think we all want to see him play but we can't risk his foot this early in the tournament and we all know it. I would have liked to see Walcott on if Owen absolutely had to come off which i don't think he did,the youngster could be another of our tournament surprises of which we've had a fair few over the years including Owen,Beckham and Rooney... Let's just wait and see... Come on England...

Answer 2

Let me give you a typically "English tabloid" answer:

> The referee -- all referees are against England, didn't you know?

> The heat -- why do they have to play the Cup in a tropical country like Germany? Heat affects English players, exclusively.

It's all so unfair!

Answer 3

i would love to say something cool or about the game but sadly been watching the world cup yeah..getting the whole game no so ….there it is :) but i do think england was good in the first half...

Answer 4

They looked like a well balanced team. Mediocre players. Not many ideas in offense. If they can pick it up a notch, they could be there.

Answer 5

yeah they sucked that game.
they need rooney.
not crouch
