England 1-0 Ecuador
Absolutely rubbish performance by England, save for about five minutes or so after the Beckham goal. None if Eriksson's experiments worked in my view. Carrick was useless in the holding role, most of the time when the ball came to him he just passed it back to one of the centre-halves (who were also both having shockers) and on the rare occasions he tried to push forward, his passes were poor and incomplete. Rooney as a lone striker wasn't able to do the business. Everyone else in the world knew this would be the case before kick-off, why didn't Eriksson? Beckham was looking sick for a large part of the second half, but Eriksson left him on pitch until the 87th minute. Lennon looked good when he replaced the skipper, but didn't really have the time to make a difference, perhaps if he'd been utilised earlier it would be a different story.

They're going to have to do much, much better or they're just going to be taken apart by Holland or Portugal, oh and can we go back to 4-4-2 please?

Last night, thought Mexico were unlucky. The Argentinians were not the better side and perhaps they've peaked early. Heinze should have been sent off twice - once when he was only booked in the first half and once when he should have been booked for raising his arm against a Mexican player and nothing was given - symptomatic of the referee apparently favouring the South Americans in the majority of decisions.
