Home of The Champions

Problems still persist for England despite going through to the quarter finals.

Lampard still has not scored despite having more shots on target than any other England players. John Terry made some blunders especially the one earlier in the game where he headed the ball back to the goal keeper, only for an Equador player to sneak through and shot at crossbar. Maybe they need Jose Mourihno's swagger on the bench to play well.

Joe Cole did okay on the left flank. He scored an amazing volley against T n T last week but i still think that Kieran Richardson should be given a chance down there, at least as a substitute, rather than the Middlesbrough man Steward Downing.

Beckham scored an amazing free kick. But I think her wife's celebration with Brooklyn eating ice cream on the stands was more amazing than his overall performance as captain. Steven Gerrard is still my prefered choice as captain. Gerrard needs to be in control to play well. He always looks as if he is being overshadowed by the high profile and rich Chelsea man Frank Lampard, who has scored more goals than any other England players in the WC qualifiers.

England is struggling to bring the WC home.
