How would you go for it when there are no dynamic creative midfielders?

Enter Fabian Delph! England's secret weapon.

 

[Neville Kneville]

time will tell

Nah, I'm not having 'embarrasing' .

England have achieved at least their level possibly surpassed it. The rest is a bonus.

 

[SpiritofBurnden]

Glad to see the back of Colombia and their antics.

Regardless of how well we played we deserved to win.

We snuffed them out completely until stoppage time.

Defending is as much a part of the game as attacking.

So pleased for the lad. His season fizzled out a bit but he’s looked great this last fortnight on a world stage.

P.S. Fcuk off Colombia.

 

[SWP COME HOME!!]

You’ll be hoping for a Lot based on that performance

He was brilliant for us until the injury but for whatever reason he came back a shell and never really recovered, it is good to see him return to form all be it in the wrong top :)

Footballs coming home greatdisplay by the city boys lets hope we can bring it back.

It’s the hope that kills you.

 

[Afterthefact]

Henderson is the problem. That's it.

 

[birchwoodgingerste]

Tournament football and we finally win on pens its coming home.

 

[waspish]

Oh it is.
