You crack me up Phil, you really do!
The words 'drama' and 'queen' spring to mind, I've no idea why.

Why can't Rooney hold the ball up, instead of trying flicks dummies or fifty yard passes ? Playing against weak opposition it doesn't matter so much, but do that against Italy and we will hardly see the ball.
I have come to the conclusion that most English footballers don't have a footballing brain. They may be great at running for 90 minutes, can take a free kick or corner but when they have to think on their feet in open play they are often clueless. Welbeck with men either side just runs straight at the centre half, hoping he will move out of the way. Hold the ball up, bring other players into the game, and if you get nudged from behind just outside the box, give it the big swallow dive.
I think the problem lies with the fact that the English game is so fast paced that this doesn't allow players enough time to think.

Headless chickens springs to mind. What ever happened to players that had time on the ball ?
Pirlo of Italy, 35, one of the slowest footballers about, but has so much time to make space for himself, pick a pass, and then make himself available again.

I am talking about his playing for his Country. Often it is the slowest players that have more time. They need to use their brain. Teddy Sherringham another example. Played some of his best football, when he lost what pace he had, and turned 30. He played all his career in just about the fastest league.

Is this a joke? Henderson's been one of liverpools best players this season and you could tell how much they missed him when he was suspended at the end. As for Johnson, well who else would you put there? And don't say smalling.
As for Welbeck, he is truely awful, if he played for a smaller club he wouldn't even get in the squad. He's had a terrible season but I bet he starts against Italy. He's like Bambi on ice and his second touch is normally a tackle.

Good young team with a few quality senior players.
Excellent experienced manager, down to earth. not afraid of the media.
I think this is the best chance England have had for years and they can make the semi's and maybe beyond.

More likely he just has a poor memory. I thought Phil was older than me.
First matches I can remember were in 66.
