team england
it's not one of the most exciting matches, but i guess it's great seeing England won 3-0 and know that France was held to a draw.
for tonight's matches, i will say that if Bulgaria loses to Denmark, then Italy will beat Sweden. however, if Buleria draws with Denmark, then maybe Italy will draw with Sweden too. and i am quite confident of these results coz of soccer-politics and soccer-bookietic. haha.
anyway, back to last night's match. the player who was most outstanding was rooney. there was commitment and drive in him. he was every where making tacklings and runs for the ball. beckham, campbell, cole, scholes, lampard, gerrard were playing well too, but somehow, you sense that the england squad lack confidence at the back, and they don't have an all-out-striker who can make space for himself and shoots inside the 25yard box. they just lack that cutting edge. the most pathetic player was michael owen. even though he set-up rooney for the goal. other than that, he was not effective at all! he lacked the pace which he was known for, he was quickly closed down and couldn't create space for himself and he hardly took a shot at goal.
in my opinion, if england is to proceed further and win the tournament, they better drop michael owen and bring in vassell, make sure that david james covers his angles properly for all freekicks and forget bout fielding owen hargreaves. => look out for john terry too. he's not that consistent.
