I thought England looked plodding, and as you say Matthew, there was a distinct lack of pace in midfield. Carrick improved things when he came on with his composure and passing. I think the so-called 'golden generation' are past it now. I really think Capello will do well to get this team to the semis. As well as Argentina, Spain, Brazil I think Holland can also be considered a strong dark horse. They started the last european chanmpionships in stunning form but got out -dutched by Hiddink and Russia. They still have much of that team in place.
