Go England! My close friend is English , my ex was English and besides I love The English, lol! You didn't mention Wayne or any of the " stars" who were in the World Cup so... I guess the youngsters are taking over.

Joe Hart must have kept for England in the world cup !. He is a young , promising keeper . Was Walcott included the squad against Bulgaria ..if not ..then he should have been included. He is in great touch . But I always prefer experience , so senior players should not be regretted at any stage! Bulgaria has berbatov in their team . Still , they can't make a piece ..shameful !!

I thought that England played well but they also played well in qualifying for the world cup. I think that Joe Hart played well and will probably be Englands keeper for a good time to come.

While there are a few new faces, the core of the team remain unchanged. Rooney, Gerrard, Lampard, Defoe and Terry. But if the new faces can consistently perform at the highest level, then England is in good hands. One problem thou, England seem to perform when it matters most. Take the World Cup for example. They qualified for the finals with an almost perfect record. But then, when the actual action starts, they choked on the stage. This seem to be their biggest problems. I seriously does not think that the lack of a winter break which is said to cause the players to feel fatigue and thus affect their performance.

I haven't seen the game, but I heard that England played a very good game, and Rooney was the leader of the team. England usually plays very good at home, they are exuberant and they trash many teams. But at major competition they cannot make a good figure and go home early. I think that the pressure of the crowd gives them an extra strength and also weaken the opponent. But I always said that English players are not so talented, but they are very good trained and have lots of power. They play kick and run and power play. At least that is my opinion. Of course there are a few exceptions here and there, but they are play more from their fitness, than from their talent.
