Whatever happened to Walcott??

I thought he was going to turn out to be amazing...

Well it would be helpful for Walcott if England didn't just hoof the ball up to him almost every time they got the ball.

Germans are going forward and playing it along the ground outside the 18 yard area... very good build up.

England try to do the same, but it breaks down around 35 yards out from goal, the Germans are very good at pressuring that zone.

So England run out of patience and just try to hoof it over to the strikers.

And German goal was a nice little move, but keeper should have done better.

He was falling to the ground way to early which allowed Castro to dink it over him.

Stuart Pearce does not look too pleased.

The Germans haven't struck me as better players, really, just vastly better coached. They pass quicker, move quicker and are much more alert. Mind you, the England keeper is shite.

Shame its not tyldesley commentating as he could remind us of when England won 5-1. My favourite was when he did it with pride before the 2002 world cup final (remind me again who was in that one Clive?)

 

[gkmacca]

No doubt loads of twits in the press will now claim it had something to do with England not wearing their 'lucky' red shirts. How many times do they have to lose in red as well as white before those idiots realise the team just isn't good enough?

 

[Shadey]

Even if we had a fully strengthed squad we'd of struggled..

"Yeah well, how did Ireland do at this tournazzzzzzzzzzz...

 

[Rosco]

It doesn't really matter anymore.

With the new FIFA rule we can find them all Irish grannies and have all of that England U-21 side playing for us soon enough.
