Go for it. But this is a team that beat Paraguay on an own goal, tied a Swedish team that was overmatched vs Germany, and didn't take the lead vs Costa Rica til the 83rd minute.

Over-rated.

"All I know is that through 3 games each, Ecuador is clearly the better team. "

Ecuador beat crappy teams and lost 3-0 against Germany.
England was much better than Paraguay (much better team than Ecuador) and were also much better than Sweden.

England were somewhat overrated coming into the tourney, but you are going overboard here and your evidence sucks.

If England dont get the own goal in the 5th minute then the rest of the game plays totally differently. They never really looked like they were in danger of not winning that game.

The goal they conceded in the 90th minute against Sweden was totally meaningless. In that game they did a good job of getting the result that they needed.

They dominated the CRC game. If they had gotten lucky instead of unlucky they could have scored 2 or 3 in the first half.

Dunno whats happened to Terry his form has dipped so badly in recent matches.

We need to keep doing the pass and move they dont seem to be able to cope with it.

Not so sure about this formation. Id really like to see Lennon in there. Lets see what he does at the half

[daveymck]

Need to play through midfield, long ball being played too much on top of that need to up the pace this second half cos there seems very little urgency there.

Announcer: "England has looked flat again"

No, they simply aren't that good.
