Ninety minutes of boredom

[caddyman]

I didn't think it was possible to have a dreadful 3-0 win, but England have just conjured one against Switzerland.

And tomorrow that display will have the overpaid morons feted like gods by the press.

God clearly despises the Swiss. Can't blame him, mind.

agree - was pants. Found myself hoping that the Swiss would get just one goal in before the end....

It's coming home, it's coming home, it's coming...

Football's coming home.

*sighs* Something akin to that perhaps. (contrary to ancient grudges, I am sternly supporting England at the moment)

Yes it was dull. Owen was shite. I watched it in the pub, so I was unable to hear the half time comments of the pundits, and Tel's expert view of the game.

They weren't impressed at half time, but by the end, whilst admitting that England hadn't quite got into their stride, they were far more complementry about the performance.

I think they were watching something other than what came over the TV...

Thank you dear. Last time I spent the evening and the following day completely unaware of the result and unable to speak to anyone...

(I just don't get football. Sport, in general, more fun to do than to watch, and not that much fun to do.)

Oh, and if your boy Darius doesn't start instead of Owen against Croatia, there's definitely something screwy going on.

We play well and we lose we play badly and we win, there must be somthing in that

Well I'm not sure if he would be as affective over 90 minutes. As he usually only comes on for 20-30 mins, he has the energy to chase everything. And he does not have a good goal scoring record for Villa, and the goals he score for England are usually against some primary school from Tasmania.

Even though Owen is not playing well, he is the sort of player that can get goals at crucial moments, and if he did drop his star striker, and we lost, Erikson would be heavily criticised for the change of player.

Poor old Bernt Haas didn't deserve to be sent off. An anti-Albion agenda at the European Championships? Good old paranoia.
