Spain will take the tournament. But still, England need to change everything -.- still playing their shitty 4-4-2, and playing long balls all the ******* time, losing and giving up possession so quickly and so easily. Really shocking. Greece played better than us. And Ashley Young...really shouldn't have been even put in the first team. Should have been Milner on the left, and Walcott or Oxlade on the right. Was unbelievable what a shit tournament Young had; especially when it came to penalties. Someone with a track record of 5 successful penalties out of 12 is not someone who should be taking penalties -.- England's defiance has cost them yet again. Resolute stubborness in each tournament since '02, they deserve to lose it all. Subbing Henderson on as well? ******* stupid. Taking off Welbeck, putting on Andy Caroll, then taking off Milner and putting Walcott on, Hodgson played England like Wirtek played Holland. Didn't pick players to compliment each other, especially with his crappy 4-5-1 formation.
Holland deserved to go out of the tournament early, really glad they didn't make it out of the group stages. Putting two left-footed long distance shooters on the right (Robben and van Persie) of which neither can use their right foot effectively, especially Robben, was a seriously stupid tactic, especially when every defender knows Robben will charge up the right flank of the pitch, then look to cut in onto the left so he can take the shot on his left foot. Another disappointing tournament. Bring back the golden age of football. The beautiful seven years that was 98-2005. Totti, Figo, Zidane, a young, hungry Rooney, Henry - the list is endless. RIP the football that made us all go "ooooooooh shi-".
