No-one seems to have told Gerrard that he was playing on the left!
We've played okay but the midfielders need to be told that just because Ledley King is a denfensive midfielder it doesn't mean that the rest of them don't have to track back and help the defence!
Some of the defending has reminded me of Ipswich!

What a brilliant game that was, I think I just upset my neighbour by shouting so loud when Owen got his second

Still think we have problems in midfield, ie. even with Ledley King playing DM we still concede too many goalscoring opportunities to the opposition.
Having said that though we made as many chances for ourselves and could've easily scored 5 or 6 goals ourselves.
I went mental when Lil Mickey's two goals went in, I think even though one of my neighbours is deaf she still heard it!

5 goals, 2 disallowed goals, something like 30 shots on target from both teams, Rooney hitting the post, Robinson making some great saves, Argie diving, penalty appeals...
Nah, the rest of the match was boring!

Best England 'friendly' in a long long time, but then no match against the Argies is a friendly! Great performance to boost confidence ahead of the World Cup.

I thought it was three disallowed - there were the two in the first 10 minutes odd (england - foul, argentina - offside (or vice versa)) and then there was the second argie one that was disallowed for handball.

the hand ball one didnt go in, Robinson saved it.
They must practice scoring with their hands in training !

As Squiz said the Argie handball Robbo saved it on the line.
See, they can't even score when they are cheating!

You should have heard what I said!
Something along the lines of "really you shouldn't do that as it is not in the rules of the game"
How did the atmosphere come across on the tv? I can tell you in the stadium it was unbelievable.

EG, it was absolutely amazing! Fantastic support and quality songs, in particularly the cheating and "war" songs
