First half, and it's still stalemate. Here's a tip to any team playing England - instant recipe for reducing the Three Lions to ten men:
- Guard Rooney to death
- Shove him a little
- Jump for the same ball as him over and over again
- Watch him get frustrated (and go for goal with a free kick in YOUR attacking half)
- Jump for the same ball with him again
- Watch as he elbows you or smacks you on the face (Warning: nosebleed may occur)
- Grin to yourself when he shoots expletives at the ref
- Grin even wider when ref flashes yellow card
- REPEAT steps 1-7
- Ref flashes second yellow card. Mission accomplished.
WHAT a moron. Rooney is gonna get substituted later, I guarantee that. My dad and I were laughing at his absolutely ludicrous free kick to nobody. What a retard. Lampard has been useless so far. So has Ferdinand. Props to Carragher, Wright-Phillips, Owen. Lets see what happens in the 2nd half. I say, ENGLAND ARE GOING TO LOSE.
Edit: 1-0 to Northern Ireland. I knew it. I knew the bloody 4-5-1 is not gonna work. It WASN'T a 4-3-2-1 Chew. Face it. It wasn't. It was an outright 4-5-1 with poor Owen not getting enough support. When they scored, Eriksson took off Gerrard and Lampard and put on Hargreaves and Jermain Defoe. What sort of screwed up tactic is that?! Total rubbish. Eriksson ought to be doused in vitriol.
