The unofficial World Cup Thread,

I think Capello has decided to have them hoof the ball because he believe's he does not have the players to build an attack on the ground.

Lampard and Gerard are not natural midfielders they are attackers by hoofing the ball Capello hoped they maybe bag a goal as it came in on top of them.

Next time England play watch Lampard especially close, he does not demand the ball or try to win it to build an attack or at least only half heartedly. He wants to benefit from said build like an attacking player does, this is a big problem you can have one but not the other.


Also the Algerians they are like a big long distance running nation if any team could keep up with English tonight it was a team from there, ye were slow and looked shagged out.
