I think we'll get out of the group but think spain will run through terry, his legs have gone. He reminds me of Steve Bruce now, running through treacle when trying to sprint..
When does England ever dominate midfield against opponents of this standard? I'd be interested to know who you would have had instead of Gerrard against France that would have dominated midfield.

Of course Gerrard is not going to have quite the dynamism of old, he's 32! But I thought he did have make surging runs against Sweden. And Gerrard's game has always been more then that, it has always included the ability to play the killer pass/cross. So far it has led to two of England's four goals.

Agree with you about Terry, he's very worrying.
