   Brett from South West you aint got a clue about football ,you cant get a goal at every freekick you take & your not going to get a goal at every corner,i dont know where you've been watching football cos the way you go on we should win every game and score with every kick, im sure you have never kicked a ball in your life or you would'nt have written what you did

   as long as we have players like Lampard playing with no heart ,or skill on that show, we'll never get anywhere in a game that you see other teams busting a gut with pride to wear the shirt of there country i know i would

   I have read most of the comments with interest and their appears to be several points that are repeated. I agree that Lampard and Gerrard are not good together and never have been. I also think Gerrard should be caprtain as he motivates by example with a free role. A comment was made about one of the neville brothers playing for England. Come on lets be realistic. I recall on at least 3 occassions one of the Neville brothers was responsible for England losing a match due to incompetence and crass stupidity late in game.. We do not need anymore of that.
   Rio Ferdinand as captain don't make me laugh. He is only good with MU as he has a host of good players around him. Put him in the Spanish or Italian league and he would be tied in knots. He has long legs but his reading of the game is pathetic.The same goes for Lampard how would he be rated playing in the a lower division without all the million pounds of talent around him. Not well I am certain. David Beckham. I have never rated him. He cannot dribble he has never had pace., his tackles usually end up in giving away a free kick. Admittedly he can cross a ball (sometimes). count the number of crosses he makes in a game and look at the statistics of succesful passes. Are people telling me there is no English player in the whole of the uk who cannot pass the ball better or more succesfully. Remember the game against Greece he needed 8 attempts at free kicks before he finally put one in the net. Not a particularly good precentage. I remember when he took Johny Wilkinson with him to practice free kicks. Beckham admitted JW was better than him and scored more than he did. --speaks volumes.
   Why is there such a stink about a left footed player -News Flash use the outside of your right foot. This is not a revolutionary new concept. I find it incredible that all footballers whether they favour one foot or the other cannot use both. If they do not they should be taught and trained to do so. Become a balanced palyer.
   If statistics were to be used again I doubt if we would find that the ball miraculously presents itself on our favourite foot everytime. It is pathetic. Every time I watch an England game I say that's it I will never watch them again. Perhaps I am a masochist and enjoy the frustration, anger, stress and ill feeling after watching yet another debacle. I am certain each and everone of us knows of someone adn probably including most ourselves who are not a so called professionals who could play better than the clowns on display yesterday.
   It is a joke a sad, sad joke. And we the fans are the unfortunate recipients. Yet again let down, yet again miffed at tactics, yet again we end up after another England farcical display, debating wages, positions, passing , control, passion, pride, motivation, finishing, not creating chances, not finding openings, that killer pass, movement of the ball, psycholigical aspects.the list goes. I only wish that someone in the hierarchy would stand up and listen and do something about it we cannot all be wrong.

   Looks like we have swapped one foreign clown for another with a bigger one in between. When is the FA going to realise that football played in England is different than it is played on the continent and that English players respond to their managers differently. Surely we have got at least one English manager capable of taking over the team and letting them play the English way.
