   Yes that was a painful performance to watch from England. However I don't know why I'm surprised, it always is! The last time I remember feeling satisfied from an England game was 5-1 Germany but how many years ago was that!?

   Oh well I suppose it's early days for Capello, I just hope he can sort them out for the world cup qualifiers.
