Leighton Baines is sick though, I like him. I feel like England as a country always hypes up their damn national team but they never win anything anyway.

There seems to be pragamatism and realism in fans, media expectations but in a way should help England's players. Each tournament they've been expected to do so well and failed, hopefully downplaying expectations might release that bit of pressure and they might do better than a knock-out round exit that happened in 2010. If they get to the quarters, it'd be an achievement considering it's in South America where one of those teams will win for me.
P.S Hodgson needs to work on his half time team talks. Players probably didn't understand it until he said feed the monkey lol. Glad the FA took quick action and Roy apologised for any offence quickly unlike other players involved in race cases.

Disagree with this.
Hodgson didn't mean any offence and none was taken, as confirmed by Townsend and Rooney. Typical English tabloids shit-stirring and causing bother where there isn't any. If they're behind the team as much as they claim to be they'd get off Roy's back.

I'll disagree slightly with this. My boss is a season ticket holder at United and he wasn't impressed with Moyes at all today. When you're only 1-0 up and not 100% in control bringing Giggs on is a bad tactical decision. Sure it's lovely that Giggs' appearance tally gets bigger and bigger but at his age he's not capable of playing left wing - particularly not when the team needs a solid final 15 full of running. He also took Fellaini off for Welbeck which I can't understand when you're trying to keep the lead.
I think Moyes will be given plenty of time but at the moment he's struggling.
