World Cup - Group B

Re: World Cup - Group B

Paraguay are tough opponents. Ask Brazilians and Argentina. They couldnt beat Paraguay in qualifiers. Argentina couldnt even score a goal. That shows Paraguay is not a light team by any means.

Having said that, I wont defend England's performance. I will blame Sven for being so inexplicably defensive. He has so many incredible players in the squad but he holds them back for larger periods of time. If and when the likes of Gerrard, Lampard and cole are allowed to play the way they play for their clubs, we will see a different and cavalier England. But still, this performance is by no means a yardstick for things to come and it is bound to get better.

I am still stumped how Sven makes such great substitutions :D
