pathetic all this Gerrard v Lampard bollocks when its England that they BOTH represent. i bet you were delighted that England lost so you could point the finger at him
Gerrard wasnt great today, missed a decent chance (not by much and it wasnt as easy as people will say) but he was better than Wright Phillips, or Cole, or Lescott, or Robinson, or Owen.....i lost count of the number of intereceptions he made on the edge of the box, maybe you forgot his fantastic free kick that Rooney and/or Richards almost scored from?? or his corners that caused plenty of trouble, and should have brought a goal from Campbell??
terrible result. i thought they played terribly today, the wingers and the full backs were atrocious i thought. that was where all Russia's threat was coming, Richards & Lescott showed their inexperience at this level, but Cole & Wright Phillips were equally culpable, and as for Robinson.....words fail me.
its not over til its over, but i have a bad feeling about this. and i cant believe im saying that.
