Predictably, the UK media are going mental about it. Not without good reason, really. Drawing against a lesser side is one thing (it happens) but you're right, they were completely lifeless. Capello refuses to let Gerrard play behind Rooney while appearing to not want Joe Cole anywhere near the pitch, despite the fact that A) he chose him for the squad and B) he's probably England's most creative player. Right now, Maradona seems to have a better grip on reality than Capello appears to. Something radical is gonna have to change if they want to beat Slovenia, and even if they do qualify out of the group stage, I can't see them getting any further than the first knockout stage.
One thing's for sure though, if the
don't qualify (and I really think that's a distinct possibility now) Capello and the team will be absolutely crucified once they get back to the UK.
EDIT: That youtube thing is classic. Rooney's getting slaughtered by the media for that too.
