The commentators over here were full of praise for the way England performed but they was really no mention of the referee's performance at all. Its about time we saw an England team with a backbone, playing aggressively against a team to put them out of their stride is a great tactic to use if you have the right players.
As regards the tournament as a whole, it would have been a disaster had Canada not at least reached the QF. They knew the semis and final would sell out anyway, keeping the host in the tournament this long was definitely the preferred course. Not saying that anyone was cheated to achieve this but when there are so few people interested in the games it does make you wonder.
Just to correct you, England may be whiners but they are also real winners, hence them being in the semis!!!!
