Let’s try to make football/soccer much more fair by allowing goal technology so this does not happen again, at least for high profile championships; here is a link for people to sign up for the petition at change.org : http://www.change.org/petitions/michel-platini-fifa-president-allow-goal-technology-for-the-goal-line-it-is-only-fair-play-to-do-so

Couldn’t agree more with the comment on gerrard, he’s getting far too much credit, I thought he was poor against France and also in the second half against Sweden. He played better today but still not half the Gerrard from 5 years ago.

The problem is that Glen Johnson is not a good defender. At all. Walcott isn’t known for strict adherence to his defense duties on the right. I believe Hodgson prefers Milner because, though he is not very good, provides cover when Johnson forays forward. To me, the root cause of this quandary is somehow Glen Johnson is first choice RB. If defensive prowess is the order of the day perhaps Micah Richards could have been included in the squad. Alternatively, Kyle Walker could be the RB….thereby providing pace and a reasonable ability to defend. Just image the problems imposed upon LB’s with Walcott and Walker sprinting down the flank. However, with Roy being Roy…we are stuck watching Johnson and Milner.
