World Cup

Most commentators are highly critical of England and their play to date. Unlike our cricketers and rugby players they are still winning. Why do we have to be so critical? Is it because we think that our team is better than they actually are? Perhaps if we did not surround the team with so much hype we could just be happy that they continue to progress through the tournament. It would not be England if they did not make us suffer each match. England for all their star players do not play wonderful flowing football for a full 90 minutes and have not done so for many years. They do it in patches. However they continue to grind out appropriate results ..... something like Chelsea? I think we should stop moaning and being hypo-critical and enjoy the end result. Just look at Portugal and the Netherlands .... no great shakes either; Mexico came so close to beating Argentina; Sweden played very poorly and made Germany look good. Every supporter and commentator is also the best manager England could have. Everybody knows better than the actual person in charge who ultimately is labelled a fool, stupid and knows nothing. It has always been thus and now doubt will continue into the future. What chance does Mclaren have?
