if the referee hasnt red carded rooney for just touching ronaldo then theo would have played

the officials in this worlcd cup are a bunch of jokers!

I cant stop laughing.

Theo went to Germany on Holiday.

Which Referee are you talking about?

most of them!

theo walcott isnt the only player in germany that didnt play

While i agree with you that the Refeering in this Tournament is the worst but the Referee that red-carded Wayne is 100% right.

The Referee that carded Rooney wasn't right.
I still have doubts the Ref saw the incident with Carvalho. What infuriated the Ref was when Rooney pushed Ronaldo.
If he carded Rooney because he shoved Ronaldo then the Referee deserves to be castrated.

The ref was spot on, indisciplined players who can't channel their agression properly should be punished, and that is exactly what happened to rooney. even if he wasn't sent off, sven would never have played walcott, he's just tooo conservatiove to make an imaginative/risky move like that

There was no mistake in taking Theo to the world cup. The boy is an immense talent. JENAS had no business being in the squad, there was more than enough cover in midfield. Defoe should have been in for Jenas.

Most importantly Theo is smarter than Rooney and in the future, during crunch games England will rely on Theo rather than the temperemental and unstable Rooney.

When it comes to Rooney I always put Disunited as a team aside.
For sure Kola! Rooney deserved another card but not red.
Thats Rooney in real and how he does it in Man U. Ok, he pushed Ronaldo at the glare of cameras and the ref but that red was not justified unless he said something to the ref which I dont think he did.
I understood Rooney's frustrations since he was up- front alone and that resulted into his nasty antics and as a ref he should have read btn lines. the man was frustrated.

Instead of crouch Sven should have tried Walcott as a surprise and am sure England would have won.

erm, I don't think Sven has the balls for a surprise.

yea, but he certainly had balls for Faria Alams, Nancy dellalio*, Ulrika johnson n several that went unoticed

the refreee was right to have sent rooney off,

he may have given him just a yellow card for steppin on someone's balls, but he went further to shove c.ronaldo,

thats a red card, that shows no remorse, its time he drank the mature medicine,

what do you mean by balls of surprise

Meaning he takes the "safe" route until he has no choice even if the "safe" route is not working. I.e. Keeping Gerrard and Lampard in the team together even though it will make more sense to drop one for a true DM and retain the balance of the team in a 4-4-2 while ensuring that your striker is not alone up front.

true talk mocha, the dude is simply unimaginative, just play all the 'stars' and england will play well. brazil also tried it, and failded

in my opinion, gerrard should've been played with lampard coming off the bench, maybe someone like carrick playing a holding role.

sven will never change his spots, he is just a conservative cold chicken swede with no stomach for adventure

No matter what we say about formations or the competence of Sven,there is a point that has eluded many in this debate-English players are not as good as the hype suggests.Sven has taken them as far they deserve.

This is what Owen has to say on Thoe's inclusion: http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2002390000-2006310458,00.html

Fair point, however a "good" coach will still put together a good team even if he has average players. England was simply disjointed. However its all water under the bridge.

Enland plus their hype could not hold water period!
What do you expect from a team with all injured forwards? SVen blundered Eriksson part 2,3 and 4

sven paid for his mistakes dearly
like puttin rooney as a lone striker up front
subbin walcott when he cud av been doubled with lennon

Correct.I think they are over hyped.
