Northern Ireland 1 - 0 England

September 08, 2005
Oi, what a terrible match to watch. What is Sven paid for? For the first half, Wright-Philips is England's only succesful attacking force whilst the best Rooney can manage is coming close to twatting the ref. So half-time sees Joe Cole on for Wright-Philips and Rooney still on the pitch, to no discernable effect - except maybe dulling the attack.

And what's this gibberish: “The result went very wrong. For 35 minutes we played exactly how we wanted, a lot of patience, we controlled the game, we created some half-chances.”

“Some half-chances” against Northern Ireland cannot possible be classified as something you'd want. I suppose I can take some satisfaction from the winning goal being scored by a Leeds player.

Oh, and the commentators forgetting Wright-Philips is adopted and talking about how he gets his abilities from his Dad.
