This result is nothing else then normal. England not beating Andorra would have not only be the end of Mac Laren, but the end of Terry as captain. The performance was once again very poor overall, even the second half wasn't good, Stevie delivered big time and was the only one who seemed to want to win that game. he played solid, seriously and was strong in his challenges. The fact that Andorra played that kind of game shouldn't be a surprise to anyone and especially to english players, you get on with the job and discipline yourself, even if Andorra should have finish the game at probably 9, the best response to that behaviour is to score score and score again.
Rooney was once again out of it, more the time pass and more he reminds me of GAZZA, it looks so easy to wind him up, other teams and coaches will see that as a definite weapon to use in futures games.
The poor quality of deliveries was unforgivable, never I have seen so much balls wasted by an english side who made his reputation by scoring headers after headers.
MacLaren got his tactics wrong once again, the players won the game but the coach once again failed to delivered the result in my opinion, his attitude during the press conference was once again the prove that he is not the man for the job, he dosen't seemed to have understod what been english coach means. John Terry critics abgout the fans was also out of order, he should back his players but has the duty to also be honest with the fans. In that way, David Beckhams was a much better captain and leader in my opinion.
In all, an other poor game from a poor side with a poor coach, I'm not an english fan so I'm not really bother to see England qualified or not even if for the sake of our Liverpool players I hope they will do.
