The other thing i dislike about Gerrard is that he AND Crouch scored very unfortunate goals against Trinidad and Tobago this World Cup Crouch pulled down one of our defenders by his hair (he himslef admitted it) to score and while Trinidad were chasing the equalizer, gerrard scored from one of his trademark shots It would please me very much to see them suffer in the final Did I mention that Trinidad's colours are also Red and Black (predominantly along with some white)

LOL yes i recall that hairy goal Crouch scored against Trinidad.

I agree re Gerrard. I label him 'Big Engine'. I think that without his massive engine/energy, he is an ordinary player. He is not the super-hero that some make him out to be. But you must remember that the english media will always pump up their own players.

But he is very limited in the centre. He is much more productive when he is allowed a more forward and freer role.
