Solid and pleasing performance from John Terry

England beat Egypt 3-1 in front of over 80,000 people at Wembley last night, but as a Chelsea fan and bearing in mind the continued focus that surrounds John Terry, I was pleased with his performance. The boo-boys were evident at times during the game but I am pleased to report that it was confined to a minimal section of the crowd.

There was no question all eyes were on John Terry and the constant camera focus on him in the tunnel behind Steven Gerrard who took over as Captain in the absence of Rio Ferdinand, singing the National Anthem and throughout the game was no surprise.

I have to say, he played well apart from a slip early in the first half which was down to the pitch more than an error on his part, he looked somewhere near his commanding self. To me it looked like he had a spring in his step and he looked fully focused. He won his headers, won his tackles, stood up when he needed to rather than dive in to needless tackles and overall was our best defender. Whenever the camera was on him he was organising his defence which he normally does anyway as thats his game.

The quotes before the game from Rooney, Gerrard and Capello had given him some support and being amongst the England squad looks like has done him the world of good. Let's hope all this continued bollocks now calms down and we can get back to playing football.

England came from a goal behind in the second half and won with two goals from Peter Crouch and another from Shawn Wright-Phillips.

CAREFREE & KTBFFH EVERYONE!
