Frustration is a terrible thing. Especially when everyone but Cappello knows that a 4-4-2 formation isn't the way.

Have you ever seen him play outside the WC for England?

I agree.

Rooney
Gerrard

J.Cole
Lampard
Lennon
Barry

Johnson
King
Terry
Cole

James

That's been my line up all along. Playing a long ball to Heskey and having Gerrard on the left is ALMOST laughable.

They should ban him for sitting on the bench for starters.

I think the booing was justified.
It's not like the crowd were booing throughout the match itself. In fact I thought the crowd got behind the team wonderfully tonight.
But when you see 90 minutes of so called world class players constantly giving the ball away, taking corners that don't even beat the first man & players with lousy first touches I think it's totally fine to vent your frustration at the end of the game.

I can't justify booing your country or the team you supposedly love, people booing/leaving 10 minutes before the end of the game when you're being beaten really gets to me. I know there's a lot of frustration there but I don't know how you can boo your country, despite a disgraceful lack luster performance.

I think the booing was justified as well. The fans have traveled half way around the world and paid a huge amount of money to see a team that has been nothing short of appalling in their first two games. Some of the England players looked like they just couldn't be arsed out there tonight.
