A great half from Zamora

[Brighton TID]

Halifax.

Best goal Withdean will ever see.

That's the one although You Tube shows him closer to the goal than I remember. Still quality though

The Sun must use a different scoring system to everyone else.

Gibbs 6? WTF?

Although before reading the thread I scored Zamora a 6 ! That said I think the Sun are being very harsh on scoring Adam Johnson a 6.

Rooney off for Zamora. England score two goals. I think he had a really good game, could have got one in the net himself.

Rooney, once again did naff all. Becuase he believes his own hype, he expects the ball to his feet - so all he has to do is touch it and he scores.

Zamora wanted the ball, and was willing to run without it creating space for Gerrard to score.

 

[Mendoza]

Same as Heskey. Was poor, then Played well, made a nuisance of himself, held up ball and linked with midfield. Had a couple of shots but ultimately as a striker, he didn't score.

a solid 7

Looked to ooze confidence something i haven't seen from an England striker in a long time. Went for a 7 knocking off a point for his first ten minutes. Would've been a 10 if he'd scored

Blimey - a bit controversial there. He looked a threat on his own account. A sentence not connected with Heskey post-England debut.

Three good attempts and three good saves. In 45 mins. I can't see any similarity with Heskey.

 

[Acker79]

Didn't score, get rid.

 

[KLF]

Halifax.

Best goal Withdean will ever see.

Absolutely. I wet my self when that went in, only to realise it was actually a little bit of sex-wee.

 

[Simster]

Absolutely. I wet my self when that went in, only to realise it was actually a little bit of sex-wee.

Yes, yes you did.

 

[driller]

I was at wembly so watched him off the ball at lot

he was shouting and even bossing rooney at times telling him where to be.

he ooozed confidence and was not overowed by the occasuion of his first cap

lets hope capello noticed and is not too blinkered at the prem favourites

 

[blue and white army]

Heskey should have been playing instead of Zamora, very prolific for Villa last season and has a history of doing well in an England jersey. Just look at Munich in 2001, was a handful for the German defence. Yep, using that logic why wasn't Nick Barmby selected?

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

How the f*** can someone on their debut nearly scoring 3 goals in one half be rated 4 out of 10 ?.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Glen Johnson 7?

That silly haired prick gave the ball away about fifty times last night. Against anyone else (Germany for example) we'd have been severely punished. It wasn't just him that gave the thing away though, it was all of them. Again.

 

[bhafc99]

Didn't watch it, but I just know he was awesome.

In retrospect, being injured and unavailabe for South Africa was probably a good thing for him.

Guardian ratings have him our third best player, just behind Hart with Gerrard the standout:

[alan partridge]

A solid 7/10 for me. He did well, but not brilliantly. It was a shame his flashing volley didn't find the top corner as that would have been a wonderful moment for him on his England debut at Wembley.

He didn't look out of place and must have done enough to ensure he's at least in the squad for the upcoming Euro qualifiers.

this.

 

[folkestonesgull]

a far better option than Heskey or Carlton Cole, I thought he played well
