They are always getting tired from game 1, it is unbelivable.
It is summer people the weather is supposed to be hot.

Isn't it the same weather/temeperature for French, German, Italian etc team?

I'd go along with that. On the whole i thought it was a pretty good performance, if we can keep the defence from dropping back to far i'd be happier but all in all.... pretty good.

Gerrard was clas tonight. Young and Welbeck were no good. Welbeck showed that he is limited. Milner was the same.

What about Glen Johnson?

Milner, i remember him looking so promising when he was in Leeds years ago,he sort of never got that much better. Fairly inconsistent.

To be fair Lahm and Podolski and others of the German team remarked it was like spending 90 minutes in a Sauna playing Portugal on Saturday in Lwiw. Same remarks were made by the Dutch players, who played in Kharkiw. It seems to apply only to games played in the Ukraine, though.
