Today's little drawing stems from the usual nonsense spouted by 'personalities' and not content with his once a tournament dig at England Beckenbauer is at it again. So we progress to the next round and a meeting with, as Stan Boardman would have said, "The Gerrrmuns." For me the Ghana v Germany game was a brilliant watch last night and I thought no matter which way they ended up either team will be decent opponent. The match also showed that the Germans are no where near as solid as their reputation has them and I think England can beat them and with luck easily giving us more confidence. However they are not going to lie down so any sgn of the usual over confidence will have us regretting it. Speaking of which Matthew Upson 70 yard pass back to the keeper smacked of the old England again yesterday why do we do that when Capello is screaming for us to get forward? Listening to Terry was he? Speaking of which Terry for once forgot his personal ambitions to Captaincy and played like his old self most probably proving he was committed and worthy of a place in the side I for one would have him under a 'possible' ticket from now on if he thinks he's invincible. James was a solid as ever as a shot stopper but I hope the German tendency to cross a ball doesn't find him out... again. Ashley Cole according to Mark Lawrenson is the best left back in the tournament that's a fact. Joe Cole did he really make a difference compared to Aaron Lennon not for me but his work with Milner who's ball holding skills in the corner were superb was worthy of his substitution. Gerrard, Rooney, Defoe all played as we have come to expect and Wayne should listen to the fans they chant his name because he's playing well and boo when England are not chill boy and keep doing the job like you can. Glen Johnson is getting better in defence Lamps was still for me out of sorts but he's getting there. We've turned the corner can we keep going uphill is the next issue becuase to be World Champions it is the only way forward.
