True but it could also light a huge fire under their ass ya know coming back from the brink
Both of those penalties never should have been taken. Montolivo missed but at least he was confident and went straight in. You could tell those two have no idea where they were going with the shot.

On paper but we are talking the EURO semi finals here.
True. The Germany M.O. of recent years has been finding a way to choke late in the knockouts.

James Van der Beek is a good GK... the best England has had in ages. But he's no Gigi. :D

Walcot is fuccking fast, Stevie G is the best midfielder in the world. Joe Heart is the Best goalie, Ashley Cole is the best Left back, Rooney, of course is the best striker, and Terry the best Center back, but for some reason they lost. Mystery of the universe! Why, God why?

But the pattern extends before then. Not only that, the Germany that showed flashes of brilliance earlier as a tournament powerhouse never showed up against Spain.

Of course its because a team with too many superstars is hard to manage, even for Hodgson.

I've still got an uncomfortable amount of money on the jew killers, because they've really got the best team I've seen in a long time. But the spags are always a threat once they progress past the first knock out.

ItaloJuve played well today, but in large part, that was due to Hodgson totally abandoning the game plan that could have put pressure on the Italian midfield. He's the wrong choice for England manager because the game has left him behind.

The players in this England side could have, and would have, harried the Italian midfield all night but were ordered to run laterally all night. By all rights, Italy should've finished this off before the 90 were up.

Great to see our crown jewels deciding this game though. Awesome.

No real gameplan to win the match but can't really blame a coach who's appointed in such a short time before the tournament began.
