I had to laugh when Marwood and co kept banging on about how good Carson is when it comes to saving penalties.......15 or so penalties later and he had only saved one!!!!

You have to give a lot of credit to the England players. It was a horrible way to go out. Overall, I thought it was a very enjoyable game. England deserved to win it in the 90 mins though.
THEM!! ha England sorry.

Still though i felt that England were more dangerous but with the injuries and so on the hole of extra time was spent in there (England) own half so the 90 stats wouldnt be as dramatic.

England played the extra time with 9 players in essence. As said by a previous poster, the 90 mins stats would tell a completely different story. It was basically defense v attack in extra time. The ball was rarely out of the England half.
why would you give them credit for losing on penalties.... again!
i think it further goes to show that english teams lack the mental strength that other teams possess.
loosing a lead in the last minutes and then getting knocked out on penalties... nothing to be proud of there methinks.... wouldn't happen to the italians or germans. should dispel the myth that english football is up there with the best. the premiership is one of the top leagues alright but the english national teams are still well behind.
Doesnt sound like you watched the game, i'm anything but a fan of English national teams but by god they had alot to be proud of, see Milner Noble etc.. on there last legs and not stopping until the last minute, Taylor tryin to run on a b0ll0xed ankle for all of E.T. and if scoring 12 penos shows a lack of mental strength i dunno what shows proper mental strength, sure Hoyte scored his second after missing the first and their keeper scored too.

I didn't see much of the game proper but the bull like "no other nation would show so much courage" really got my wick up. Yes, they were brave but again short on the quality required. They love nothing more than a bloodied Butcher or Ince on the pitch. English reports I read admitted the Dutch were better & Lita's goal was against run of play. That said, what I did see was the Dutch passing and pressing but getting nowhere near the English goal. I felt a bit sorry for England, but I don't like them so I'm glad they didn't win. Serbia would have beaten them anyway.
I don't think you can angle an accusation of lacking mental toughness. The quality of the shoot out was phenomenal. Some of the Dutch pressure kicks were amazing, but almost all of England's were good too. Anyway, if there's one country in the world worse at shoot-outs than England it's the Netherlands!
