England swung back and forth between playing well, and playing terribly. Trinidad and Tobago on the other hand, played terribly throughout except for about 15 minutes at the end of the first half. Yes, T&T will probably get a lot of credit for that performance, but why? Throwing 10 men behind the ball, in between occasionally breaking every 10 minutes? Terrible, and look what it got them: Nothing. Would've been more interesting if they'd actually had a go at us.

FAO Rio Ferdinand: STOP COMING UP FOR CORNERS AND FREE KICKS YOU FLAMING GREAT PILLOCK!
FAO Paul Robinson: You seem to have forgotten the reason why you are England's #1: You are not David James. So stop acting like you are.
FAO Michael Owen: Oh dear oh dear oh dear. "I want to be the top scorer in this World Cup." Do you, Little Mickey? Do you really? It sure doesn't look like it.
FAO Aaron Lennon: I love you.
FAO John Terry: I also love you.
FAO Peter Crouch: You know I love you, Crouchatron. And I'd love you even more if you had done your dance.

I hope this gives an incentive to drop Lampard for a holding player, either Carrick or Hargreaves. He played terribly, and wasted a lot of good chances. That's not to say Stevie had a blinder, because he didn't, but he played better than Lampard.

In other news, Ecuador are class.

EDIT: Oh, Sven? Can we play Beckham at right-back and Lennon as a winger from now on, seeing as the Neviller is injured? Pretty please?
