I think the problem Dem, was that we pretty much expected us to breeze through the group (me included) so the mentality going into the first 2 games wasnt right. Obviously the game yesterday was different thus we all saw a massive improvement, we still were not great but we improved.
Im hoping its a case of you rise to the occassion, the better the opposition the better the performance. Im also hoping that noe Capello has relaxed his regime, our boys will be able to play more relaxed.
As for Rooney, he needs a goal, i think it really is that simple. One goal could well open the flood gates, he still looked very frustrated at times, he must have been thinking to himself 'what more can i do?'
Rooney is a coiled spring and fingers crossed he will explode on the Germans.
