I hate the guy, but must admit John Terry was brilliant tonight, as was Glen Johnson.

Rooney is a class act. If he had stayed upfront instead of dropping deep and wide all the time he may have netted more and had a better tournament. Why he was the one supposedly to try to stop pirlo i'll never know?
He tried to do too much and it didn't work. It's that simple imo.

How's that then? I make it about 50/50.
Only 1 win on penalties in 8 attempts prior to tonight didn't make the odds 50/50. We didn't deserve to win, but after hanging on for so long, you couldn't help but wonder if it might be our night. Too many players not in the game. Gerrard probably had his least effective game, Rooney was clearly struggling from around 60 mins and constantly gave the ball away. As for Young, his penalty summed up his whole tournament utter dogshite. How he's played every minute of every game is beyond me. |

Yep....no one has mentioned Walcot either.........absolute dire tonight,no cosistency at all in his game. His pace should have made it a tough second half for the Italian defence. |

Much prefer Chamberlain, has a better end product and seems more consistent than Walcott. |

Some of the views on here, mainly relating to Rooney, are beyond belief. Clueless. I can only assume you have been drinking all day.

Thought the back four has played well together in this tournament. Lescott has grown into an international. Cole has been excellent for years. Terry is a 110% trier (althougk he's a horrible man). Johnson has been solid, although prone to the odd gaff and wasteful in possession.
Tonight things went downhill quickly when Carroll came on. He and Rooney had no pace between them, which meant they caused no threat. Not sure what Walcott has done in the last 2 games. He has been totally anonymous.
Thought Parker had his most influential game of the tournament. Looked to do more than just break up play in the first half.

I would've taken QFs before the tournament started so not disappointed. People on Five Live criticising Hodgson but not sure anyone could've done much better in the 5 weeks he had before it started a d, more importantly, with the players at his disposal.

He got us three points against Ukraine and faced an uphill battle tonight with little service, add to that playing alongside a pub player in Carroll. |

Why do some people have such a problem with other people saying Rooney has been shit in the last two games when he so clearly has been?
