Yah, I guess the 10 lads running round in regulation and ot, defending their hearts out against 11 lads doesn't cause them to become more tired and therefore contributes to the misses.
It was Sven's fault that he brought 2 of his 4 strikers injured, in Rooney and Owen and only one other, in Crouch, who could play. It was Sven's fault he played an ultra-retarded 4-5-1 formation and didn't have the right pieces in there.
W/o Becks freekicks and Gerrard and Crouch's goals, england wouldn't even be there against Portugal.
Rooney is to blame directly for some of the tiredness for the penalties just as Becks was v/s the Argies in '98.
England got where they did despite Sven. Rooney is a stud of a player but he has to accept the blame for HIS foul.
