Congratulations to Northern Ireland on a gutsy display and a well deserved victory.

As for the England team and the manager. A poor display.

I used to give Sven the benefit of doubt, but now I just think he's an awful manager of the England team.

I wouldn't give any credit to N. Ireland, they were bloody awful. Just because they get a goal does not cloud my judgement.

But they got one more than England so didn't the better team win?

Nope. The better organised,motivated team with a better manager won.

So the team that won wasn't the better team then?

So who got the 3 points? Smile

As a NIPPLE (Northern Ireland Person Presently Living in England) I'm taking the opportunity to needle my work mates (indeed my southern Irish colleague is joining in). After all a country of 1.5 million people has just beaten one of 50 million. So nomatter how it was played (tactics, manager etc.) it was still an achievement. The NI team havent scored against England for 25 years or beaten them in Belfast for 80.

Sven - the man with only one plan (which doesn't work.)

Typically gracious in defeat. No wonder everybody loves to see you getting pumped.
