Was the first half good or bad?

[Herr Tubthumper]

Listening to radio 5 commentary they claim the first half performance is desperate, poor and lacking in movement and invention. Just caught the ITV half-time analysis and they, well mainly Hoddle, claim it's promising.

Sorry watching the cricket which is just as dire.

 

[Mellotron]

Somewhere inbetween probably. Bearing in mind we're out and fielding a B team against a side who are through, it's about as good as expected.

 

[Bozza]

It's difficult to judge, given the game means absolutely nothing to us whatsoever. But I've voted "Bad" as I'm in that sort of mood.

The problem with 5Live is that Danny Mills is clueless and negative at every opportunity. At 30 mins I could stand no more and switched to TalkSport who were more upbeat.

Now home and it's better than vs Uruguay for certain.

Voted good.
Costa Rica (in the same athletic way as Equador and Hondurus) came out running at us, pushing up back ... in the first 10 mins.
I thought overall England bossed it after that, good interplay and should've had a pen.

Hart's not looking as panicky as in the last game.

Try listening to Brian Moore's opinions on a Rugby match, " I don't know why he did that " " What was he thinking there " etc etc.

Limited threat to him. What with being on the bench and all.

 

[Mellotron]

Our B team is looking comfortably better than the side who beat Italy and Uruguay. Ah, the logic of the World Cup.

I sat outside in the sunshine for the first half. Second half-England looking as if they will get a goal. It's all rather depressing though when you think how it should be.

Totally agree about Mills. Because he can string a sentence together, BBC adore him and now he's got a job for life. A monotone bore, who preaches as if he came from an era of a great England team (with a world class right back, no doubt!).

If you can put up with Tyldesley, ITV's commentary has been fine this evening.

 

[The Wookiee]

Very similar to watching Brighton last season

Given that were playing team who really couldn't care less

 

[Norman Baker suck my lozenge]

Imagine Ipswich and Boro at home last season,times that by 10 and add a big pile of horseshit and you'll have your answer.

 

[Brownstuff]

Didn't watch it but can tell you right away it was turd

 

[Mr Smggles]

Yes Phil Jones, quality mate.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

That was pretty dull.

 

[maltaseagull]

Surely, even if we are out, the players given a chance should care enough to put in a performance. Looking at our "B" team we have gone backwards. Ball control and passing is awful.
