Last post was dead right. We had no midfield
worth talking about. The defence did ok but with
no connection to the forwards we were never going
to win.
Beckham was awful, you simply cannot miss 2
penalties at this level and win. He may take a
good freekick but he's not a good captain.
Football is a tough game and you have to have a
tough captain, one you can hear all over the
pitch. We've had good captains but he isn't one
of them.
Sure we played well against Croatia and beat the
Swiss but we lack a creative spark to manufacture
goals from nothing.
I feel much better tonight. At least we lost to a team with a bunch of world class players. But French...
Now, that is a shock of the most shocking tournament ever

We did lose to a good team but so did the French.
I would love to have seen us win euro 2004 but I
love it even more when the big teams (with all
their megastars) go out to teams like Greece.
I hope they go on to win it, but Holland must be
a hot favorite now.
Too bad we'll never see Larson playing for Sweden again
