Germany 4 – England 1

It says it all. What a debacle. I love that word, but I don’t love the team.

I know I may be stepping on many toes, but for all that Rooney is built up to be, he’s shit as a striker, at least for England. If it’s a matter of supporting him properly, then the manager is doing a bad job. At Man Utd he seems to do well, but every time I see him play for England, he’s just not there.

And that disallowed goal, or really it wasn’t even that. That should change the rules if anything does. We need video playback, a fifth official to keep the ref informed of what really happened. That was a goal, no quibbling about it. No doubt Jerry will crow about them getting their own back after the ’66 final.

Terrible.
