DID THE "B" STAND FOR BALLS UP? (That's what it looked like)

England's B team lost 2-1 in a friendly against Belarus tonight.
But it was a night of good and bad for the England side...

Good
Michael Owen ran around for an hour not doing much, but at least he didn't get injured. He did set up the goal with a header (just don't mention he was three yards off side when the ball was played).

Bad
Robert Green, the number 3 goalie in the squad, fluffed a goal kick and sustained a groin injury that means he's out of the World Cup.

Good
Aaron Lennon was man of the match, and looked good despite some tight marking. He set up Crouch for a goal (though it was disallowed for off-side) and hit the bar with a chip.

Bad
England gave the ball away all over the place and looked pretty shit.

Good
The 2-1 scoreline is deceiving - one of the goals came while Green was lying on the ground holding his bollocks.

Bad
Belarus only had ten men for the final 20 minutes and still scored the winner in that time.

Good
Sven's got a nice new sun tan.

Bad
Michael Carrick looked shit, as did most of the B team midfield.

Good
Scott Carson will replace Green in the World Cup Squad

Bad
Belarus are pretty shit. Their star player, Arsenal's Hleb, was on holiday, strangely, in Germany.

Good
Er, that's it. Actually it was fucking awful. Theo Walcott came on and looked "lively". Very fast, and definitely alive.
