Although managing to score his side’s only goal, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Poland-c2983 was far below his current standards and that the team as a whole also failed to deceive.
With the 2014 World Cup qualifying game being postponed for one day, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 had to wait an extra 24 hours to take to the pitch against a strong Polish team.
And when they did, they failed to threaten their opponent’s goal for the majority of the ninety minutes, with Wayne Rooney being the only one who showed enough attacking verve to make a difference.
The Manchester United star has been the Three Lions’ main man for the last couple of years and after a sensational display against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/San-Marino-c2998, proved that he can be relied on for goals, although his performance as a whole was far from convincing.
Roy Hodgson’s troops were sleepy and dozed off on many occasions, with one finally leading to a goal for the home side. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Joe-Hart-c18699, considered as England’s finest shot stopper at the moment, misjudged an oncoming corner and was eventually to blame as the ball
nestled in the back of the net.
Even though the 1966 World Cup winners escaped with a point, Rooney claims that they were from their best and he himself had endured a terrible game from start to finish.
"I know I can play better than that. It was hard work. First half I was making long runs back and then trying to get forward and then went out to the left for the second half and I was a bit tired, so I've no problem with being taken off. The pitch wasn't
great, but I was delighted to score."
Adding on, he revealed that the players were also disheartened by their outing and that the main reason for the draw was the way in which they distributed possession.
"The lads are disappointed - we know we can play better. We're playing at the top level and we had to get ourselves up for this but I didn't think we were totally at the races. We never passed the ball well enough."
