If you think about it. Nobody predicted Chelsea to beat Barcelona, especially with 10 men. And then to go on and win the Champions League.

We can always dream, and dreams do occasionally come true.

Just keep on believing

We got the win but blimey we made hard work of it against a very ordinary Swedish team.
When we went 2-1 down I thought here we go the Swedish turning us over yet again.

Thought Walcott was excellent when he came on and Welbeck played well. Ashley Young is not playing well at all.
As Rooney is back in V the Ukraine lets hope he does something in a major tournament for once and I don't mean get sent off again.

I do think however once/if we play a half decent team like Germany or Spain we will be found wanting.

Well we scraped through and play Italy next fortunately.

We were far from inspiring but got the result.

I am glad the goal line ref is a bit myopic.

Sunday evening V Italy winners play Germany or Greece. I know it is unlikely but an Engalnd V Greece semi could be the nost boring game ever!!

At least the sprit in the squad seems a lot better under Roy than Capello. Even Rooney seems a bit happier these days! Well done Roy for winning the group. I don't think any of us were really expecting that before the tournament.

Personally, I think the standard of football on show has been pretty poor.
Teams playing 'not to get beat' as opposed to 'playing to win'.
There seems to be a 'lets play like Barcelona' style pervading at the moment. 10000 passes and trying to walk the ball into the net.

There have been 'flashes' of brilliance for sure(Ballotelli goal V Eire), but on the whole it's been a bit of a snoozefest.
