One-nil bore draw

Dear England
Now really boys, this isn't fair. It's not easy to stay up and watch you play until 2am in the morning. Is it too much to ask for a little bit of entertainment on the pitch would keep me awake? I admit, a bit of drama and the odd scare or two can get the adrenaline pumping and stop my eyelids from feeling heavy, but I think you pushed drama to the limit in the match against Ecuador.

Yes, you did give me an amazing Beckham free-kick to wake up the neighbours with, but did we honestly deserve that? Shouldn't we have been peppering Ecuador's goal with shots instead of giving up the ball as soon as we started any attack? I've been reading teh SunSport pages. I thought England were a world-beating side, brimming with quality and flair. I thought we'd be treated to a masterclass of football whenever England played. The highlight of our spectating experience shouldn't making robot noises whenever we see Crouch warm-up.

Please tell me that the next match will be better,
Martin

I have never seen so much fear in a player as I did in Terry's eyes through that game. I thought having th eextra midfielder was supposed to help the defence, not scare them.

I guess it didn't help that the midfield couldn't string two passes together let alone think about attacking.

I can;t help but think we're going to get dumped out in the quarter-finals by Portugal again.
