You just don’t goad an angry Rottweiler, everyone else could see Roy’s legendary temper was flaring but Wrighty plows on regardless, then makes it even worse by attempting to appeal to Roy Keane’s sense of humour.... Brilliant.

Moot_Geeza wrote:Agreed, but Wrighty was also backing himself a little bit, so there's a touch more to it than obliviousness. Right or wrong, Keane's not right in the head, so Wright must've been sailing close to a right to the head.

You can always say Team X relies too much on Component A but it's those better parts that teams have that helps them win games. I'd rather be that than completely rudderless with no real strength or focal point. Like, Scotland.
But! I read that in open play, England have only had 6 shots on target the whole tournament, which is the same as Saudi Arabia. That's wild, if true!
