That was an uncomfortable 90 mins and I had to keep telling myself 'you weren't expecting much of this England side anyhow' on numberous occassions whilst watching it.
It was hard though as I also kept thinking 'I could get 11 lads together to beat this lot'!! as Sweden are shite.
Ang how the fcuk Lawrenson came to the conclusion Glen Johnson was the best defender on the pitch I'll never know, he's one huge disaster waiting to happen. Hodgson should have swallowed his pride and called up Richards as soon as Kyle Walker was ruled out or at least shove Phil Jones in there asap.
I think we also saw tonight that Terry is over the hill, not that that comes as much of a shock to most of us here on Betnod as we agreed in the main he should have never been picked in the first place but him and Johnson side by side leave a large weakness on that side of the defence.
Walcott made the difference tonight but it's going to cause a big problem in the next game if he starts due to Johnsons knack of getting out of position, hence Milner getting the nod of late as he provides more cover than Walcott, that obviously shows Hodgson is aware of the problem and a lot of naivety on his part.
As I said I'm not expecting much of this England side but I'm annoyed about the problems we currently have that could have been so easily addressed, It wouldn't have won us the comp but it would have made nights like tonight a lot easier.
Still I'll be happy enough should we manage to get past the group stage as that was the best I was expecting but in the same breath should we come up against the likes of Spain or Germany playing like we did tonight it could prove to be one huge embarassment.
Saying that we have to get passed Ukraine yet which will be a task and half, player for player we have the advantage and of course Rooney will be back but England don't know how to do things the easy way.
