Agreed Clive

Footballers are overpaid, overstrung, oversexed and over-reated in the most part. They way these so called "superstars" act I think is dispicable, they are meant to be role models after all.

All clubs should impose wage caps, I'm not just blowing Fulhams trumpet here for being a lifelong fan, but they have a £30,000 per week cap, which I know has put many players off of coming to the club, it also was the reason we got rid of Jimmy Bullard, he wanted to be paid more than that because he was "special", more like ****ing special needs. I was incredibly proud when Fulham sold him rather than pander to his overinflated ego.

With regards the Rob Green howler, it is very true that he made a really basic error by not getting his body behind the ball, exactly the same as Scott Carson did. But, as stated earlier in this thread, you don't get a second chance as a keeper. If that error was made by one of the back four, there would have potentially been....

(a) 20 - 30yds to play with instead of 4-5ft
(b) 3 other defenders and a keeper to mop up the mistake

I think Hart is the best of the three in all honesty, but Green cannot be held responsible for the loss. The misses up front were shocking, Wright Phillips & Lampard were non existent and a complete waste of time. The team as a whole played far too many negative and hopeless long balls, with what has been widely stated a crap ball, when short quick passes are more the order of the day, if anyone watched the Germans or even Ghana for that matter, they would have seen just how effective this tactic was.

In summary, We are tactically inept, too scared of the massive and IMHO appaling media scrutiny and finally just not good enough to win it.

If only Bobby Zamora was fit
