I was being hyper-critical. I thought that a lot of England in the second half, bar one move for Sheringhams volley was similar to the first half against Sweden. The first 20-25 minutes, England were defending far too deep for that stage and Argentina were the better side, England were far and away the better side in the next 40 minutes or so and I thought were deserving of their lead. The 4 defenders and the keeper didn't make a single mistake all game, so deservedly won the game. Fair play to you all, its a million and one miles away from anything that we could ever do internationally. -- Welcome to the Bottom of the Barrel

In reply to: Jesus Quintana 's message, "Good analysis up top, but a bit harsh there I reckon. The Argies were on top for 20 minutes rather than 45 and I think it was understandable that leading 1-0 against one of the best sides in the World we didn't pour forward with carefree abandon. More a clever tactical change than poor play on Englands part I reckon." on 16:12:46 06/07/02 Fri
