the departing on penalties is par for the course now though, I prepare myself for a loss starting around the 110th minute because I know where its headed
Looking back its kind of funny that the 06 team was supposedly the golden generation, this year's team is miles better I think

Many are still convinced that that free kick wasn't intended and was in fact a mis-hit. Poor Seaman. England haven't had a top-flight keeper since his retirement.
I think that while the 2006 England WC team was arguably more talented except for the goalkeeper, this squad might just be a better 'team'. Capello's choices have given England options. Bent=Defoe. Heskey is a different player with different attributes. Plus he seems to be a well-liked guy in and around the squad. Terry's indiscretions and Cashley Cole's personal drama aside, they seem to be a tight-knit team - free of the encumbrances of the WAG/Beckham sideshow.
