Rooney was for a period. Terry? Becks.

Rooney and Terry, not sure about Becks.

In the last 20 years England have had Campbell, Terry, Ferdinand and even Adams. Its really sad to see how empty the CB cupboard is at present. A lot expected of Stones i guess.

Well i guess England are happy that they lost that record.

Just had a look at the goal. Does not look real, almost a training ground exercise.

Keeper really has to hold his hands up for that.

Looks like Holland might be struggling to qualify for another major tournament. :shock:
