Good Evening all,
Watching the England – Mexico game at Hackney Marshes Wembley this evening, and the thing that is coming to mind right now, is that whilst we are looking very good going forward, defensively we are looking extremely patchy and poor – woeful at times, the goal that Franco got for Mexico at the end of the first half is a example of that point.
Which is probably a good explanation for Fabio to be desperate for the legend that is Jamie Carragher to return from his self-enforced international exile. The last time Carra played was in the ill-fated World Cup Quarter-Final in Gelsenkirchen when he missed a penalty in that shoot-out.
So with England’s farewell match going swimmingly well, the question that needs asking is how far can the team go in South Africa. It has to be said that the draw has been a lot more kinder for them, than in previous tournaments – and there is the argument that England’s recent nemeses’ Germany, Argentina and Portugal are not in the rudest of health in recent months.
My prediction: Semi-Finalists, but do not be at all surprised if they are participating in Johannesburg on July 11th.
And in other related news, Portugal drew 0-0 against mighty Cape Verde...
