My attention was drawn to an alien ie; US citizen criticising our football team and using the WE word while doing so,this is not cricket and will not be accepted as valid criticism,which is our English national sport and reserved for inhabitants of this sceptic isle.
Meanwhile I on the other hand ,a long standing resident of this green and pleasant land, am well within the parameters outlined above and hereby state that in my opinion the three Man U players in the England team, strangely enough managed by a Scotsman ( read what you will into that)) against my alter ego land Italy, gave the most lacklustre performances and one had a laughable toupee on his head throughout the game which resulted in him fearing to head the ball due to the possibility of dislodging the obscenity,
I single out for praise all the other team members,and statistics so beloved of our US friends mean nothing if the opponents score more goals ,this is how you win football matches nothing to do with square" tic tac" passes, in fact the Italians long balled it to the Pilkington alike Mario Doolaliotelli with almost dire results for England.
