I would agree if it wasn't for the fact we basically created 2 shots on goal all game compared to their countless efforts. Second half we were absolutely dreadful and didn't deserve anything.
Of course it should have been a penalty, but Richards for me demonstrated exactly why neither Capello or Hodgson took him for England. He's lost his pace, gotten fat over the summer, and was caught half asleep for the goal. Granted it was one of the three left-backs in the team that played the striker onside, but Richards initially broke Caulker's line and Taylor went to cover it. The attitude problem he has been suspected of having was almost proven today. He has known he would be playing in the Olympics, and it was up to him to stay fit.

Also Sordell is absolutely dreadful haha. Has no pace, no skill, is weak in the air, poor off the ball, can't finish and well... I could go on, but apparently "he offered something different when he came on!" God the press are ridiculously retarded, drives me mad.
Still, if Heskey is an example, that'll be 50+ caps for him then
Sturridge looked so lacking in match fitness, that England may well struggle to actually score. Was ridiculous to see Giggs play all 90mins as well, he looked knackered after 70.
Cleverly really does look a player, although defensively he's very shy of getting stuck in. Seems to be worried he'll get injured with each challenge. On the ball looks very composed though. Caulker looks excellent, and could really step in for Spurs next year.
. They finished below bloody Newcastle, and people expect young, inexperienced (but incredibly talented) players like Marin, the Hazards and Oscar to magically take them to the title when they've lost an infinitely better and more important player in Drogba. Even Marin and Thorgan Hazard can hardly be considered incredibly talented just yet.
