I'm keeping this for future reference of your stupidity.

Yeah we're playing glorious football, nothing to do with Bulgaria's defence playing Blue Square Premier standard.

What a goal by ISLA

Spain 0 - 1 Chile.

We're not playing well I agree, something to do with playing two defensive midfielders, there's no one to link the play between attack and defense. And the wide players seemingly refusing to attack the space like they do for their clubs.

Cahill looks comfortable at the back to me.

And when they finally attack the space...that's three.

3 - 0. Not bad. not bad at all. Our Defence has been a bit dodgy at times though. Even Smalling at times he just seems a bit unsure about weather or not to move to the ball or hold back.

Very meh half of football, two scrappy goals and one brilliant goal at the end of the half. Glad to see us scoring some goals but in reality Bulgaria have been poor defensively and it's not like we've been dictating possession or peppering their goalkeeper all half. Parker is doing a good job at breaking up play. Both wingers anonymous. Defence solid, though Smalling has looked a bit nervy at times. Young and Rooney look great together.

When we get to an attacking position, we are playing good football.

I'm not Capello's biggest fan, but the strategy is clear and when visiting such a place with such a god awful pitch (been there, it's shit), it's best to try and soak up the pressure and use your added quality, which has been shown with three good goals, even if the third was a bit of a defensive lapse.

Another GREAT Goal by CHILE! Vargas!

Spain 0 - 2 Chile.

Don't see this whole problem with Downing starting, not a great half but he hasn't started a competitive international for 3 years, he's grown a lot as a player in that time. It's not as if Capello is playing someone who has been at the heart of Englad's recent failures. People say the team should be picked on form, and he's on form.

The teams proven its good enough for this game, it's doing the job, even if it is a simple one. Bulgaria doing their part to make it a piece off piss too.

Barry is well and truly pissing me off. Just saying. I'd sooner have Lampard in there, and I HATE Frank Lampard.



Cleverly would suffice in there though.
