And I'm still gutted about England always losing on penalty shoot outs.

I know in my heart of hearts that the eleven man team in a different formation would have been running behind the portugese defense like no ones business, but due to the linear, uninspiring and bland tactics of Sven they didn't get the opportunity.

I don't condone physical violence, but I hope the team laid into him after the game.  Sure the players have to take responsibility on the pitch so why didn't the players come up with their own tactics and formation.  I haven't seen any interviews or newspapers, I just hope that Sven has had a right talking to and I will feel sorry for any country or club he manages in the future, although maybe the same tactics will work in different countries, it just isn't an English way of playing football.

As for Steve McKlaren, I hope he's learnt from Sven at what NOT to do with world class players, all they should be told is get on with playing the game, score goals, keep posession defend.

Simple really, even a chimpanzee could do manage world class players, but not managing them at all.  It's not like they need to learn how to play, just make sure they turn up for practices they keep fit and eat the right stuff, the natural talent each individual possess will become apparent when they're allowed to gel as a team and play in their own individual comfort zone.  Hopefully for the future, two forwards will be used and we can still have five midfield players that can defend their line.
