Dafoe showed that he was more likely to score than Rooney all match.

Crouch should have been on. You're not going to beat the german
defenders in the air. Look how tall they are.

Capello's tactics were indept for this game.

Gerard played his socks off and should continue to keep the England
captancy.

Rooney should not be staring in any more Nike commercials.

You either build a team around Rooney or he doesn't play. Rooney does
not work in this team.

After such an exit, there'll always be a tendency to try and single
out one single occurence.

More generally, I think it's a combination of tactics/coaching,
players talents, health of the squad, players ATTITUDES, etc.

I was surprised by how rigid Capello was during this tournament.

England needs a new manager. Possibly one who is more expensive.

Let me add one : at 1-2, with still plenty of time to go, why does ENG
go all attacking on a free kick , and get exposed by German blitz
counter attacking ????? More patience was needed.

BBC/606 comment:

"Capello turned into Sven. I will only pick players in form, who are
fit and play regularly, he said. Right, so he takes Upson, King,
Carragher, Heskey, SWP. As soon as the squad was announced, England
had no hope."
