England And The Press

After the first decent England performance in a long while and definitely the best performance by Wayne Rooney since his injury the scum press have decided it's time to do a character assassination on the Shrek lookalike.
Obviously a succesful England team doesn't sell papers so they've trawled up some old news on the eve of our first big game since the World cup to try and scupper any praise that might be flying around after Friday's decent win against Bulgaria.
I'm guessing this was going to be used just before the World cup but they realised everyone would turn on them as we were all expecting them to do it at a time when Rooney was being hailed as the man who would win us the World cup.
So Wayne visits prostitutes, I seem to remember he's been doing this for years and would Colleen be sleeping with him if he was a penniless scouse chav? I doubt it so why the shock.
At the time of the alleged incidents last year he was playing like one of the best players on earth so I think Fabio and the team should chip in and buy him another prossie before Tuesday :)

As for Friday's game I realise Bulgaria aren't Germany but it was a good performance, Joe Hart looked super confident on his full debut, Ashley Cole just gets better, Rooney was excellent and Defoe did what he does best.
Gerrard benefited from not having Lampard in his way and even Gareth Barry looked like he'd remembered how to play, Dawson got injured which is a stroke of luck as he makes Upson look like Usain Bolt, Jagielka is a good player who I feel is still a bit nervous but should get better with more games under his belt.
Walcott had a few good moments but disappointed on the whole while sub Adam Johnson took his chance to shine very well.
Glen Johnson was probably the failure of the night and was lucky that Bulgaria didn't test him as some better teams will in the future, although I'm struggling to think of another decent English Right back to challenge for his position.
So on to Tuesday with an away game to Switzerland who should be our hardest opposition in this tame group, a draw will be an acceptable result (probably not for the scum press) and we should win all the other games.
My prediction would be an England win though as the Swiss despite beating Spain at the World cup really arent't that good.

The pick of the other results was France's 1-0 home defeat by Belarus proving that the Irish curse put on them after they cheated their way into the World cup is still going strong :)
