Two breaks, two goals. All we can do is play for a bit of pride, and try to get a goal without conceding another. ---

4-1 I have no symphathy. Yet again England had not the balls to drop either Frank Lampard or Steven Gerard, thus allowing the team a proper shape. Year after year after year. Now you have Cole, Lampard, Gerard and Barry all tripping over each others toes. And now Heskey is warming up.:rolleyes: ---

God, Dee Shermans are good! If we defeat Mexico today we’ll have to work really hard. Goodbye England. You won`t be missed 🙂 ---

Maybe [this](http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/cricket/england/8762971.stm) will cheer England up. Yeah, it’s only the one-dayers, but the Aussies are being flayed there. ---

Wow, Germany played great. I’m glad that goal that should have counted doesn’t seem to be a deciding factor. ---

> [@Estilicon](#): > > Goodbye England. You won`t be missed 🙂 What, you weren’t looking forward to Maradona sneaking onto the pitch for Hand of God 2? We already saw a repeat of an incident from 1966, why not from 1986? ---

> [@Mahaloth](#): > > I’m glad that goal that should have counted doesn’t seem to be a deciding factor. Except that I find it hard to believe the England would have been so aggressive and only left one defender back on the free kick that led to the third goal had the game had been tied at the time. ---
