If you defend like a pub team it leaves a lot of questions to be answered. It's not as if they got undone by some samba magic, just the kind of crosses thrown in during premiership matches week in week out. Sven obviously doesn't have faith in Theo Walcott to do the job otherwise he would have thrown him on last night and left Crouch and his yellow card on the bench like he said he was doing.

Ecuador on Sunday. England will probably muddle through like they tend to do against that type of team. As for beyond that, I refer you to the first line of my post. You can't defend like that and win the World Cup.

Any thoughts on the guy in an England shirt getting dragged from his car in Aberdeen and beaten to a pulp? What's that all about then?
