Apart from Ashley Cole's effort I can't remember another England shot on target. We had a couple of headed chances (that we should have done better with) and we were extremely lucky that Gerrards cross made its way through 3 deflections before reaching Rooney for a sitter, but I can't remember another shot (i.e. from a foot) that called their keeper into the action. I missed the first 25 mins though as I was on a ride ;-)
Much as I've fallen out of love with football these days I'd still love to see England do well in this competition (mainly as its the first England team I've seen since about 2002 that seem to actually care about playing for their country) but I just can't see us getting any further unless we find some creative flair going forward. So far we've looked devoid of ideas and decisiveness in the final third.
And their "claimed goal" was clearly off side in the build up so play should have been halted long before Terry hoofed it out the goal mouth.
