Well done the lads. Particularly Messrs Rooney and Hart, both of whom were involved in key moments, both of whom have suffered unwarranted amounts of abuse in recent times. I'm not a great fan of Hodgson's style and I think he has been forced out of his comfort zone by events, however, the guy is clearly committed to the cause and you have to be pretty hard-hearted not to congratulate him on the achievement .
I hope he will now recognise that we cannot rely on the Milners of this world at international level. I can see no reason either to recall the obnoxious Ashley Cole; Baines is quicker and his crossing more accurate. Townsend already looks a better bet than Walcott,Young or Oxlade-Chamberlain.
When Lampard came on it seemed to me that Poland's main threat was the speed of their break from midfield. His contribution was a yellow card and two horrible mis-passes. He is not the right replacement for that set of circumstances. Generally Gerrard also looked pedestrian, although all credit on the goal. Central defence is a big worry as is Smalling.
Never mind they did the job and I believe we can get better as a team if we are prepare to take some risks. We won't win the World Cup but it's great to be involved, as I'm sure all our Scottish, Welsh and Irish friends will agree.
