So Rooney’s a left winger is he? And I’m a chuffing Dutchman.

Good luck to the Northern Irish - they played their hearts out and they deserved the win. It’s not just that they sneaked a goal and then hung on: they had the two best chances in the game and they took one of them. England were laughably bad. Several players went missing, but the manager must take the ultimate blame. Wright Phillips had the most pace and showed the most promise in the first half, skinning the NI left back every time he had the chance. Who did Sven substitute first? Wright Phillips. Tosser.

Can Sven keep his job after this? Yes. For the right reasons? No. Not at all.
