England v Hungary: post-match stream of consciousness

Good win for England today- 3-1 was just about right although I worry that Stevie.G-legend that he is- has resorted to diving. I'm beginning to feel a bit optimistic about their chances at the World cup and I'll be cheering them as if I'm English. Should create a bit of a dilemma when they run into any African team especially Ghana who I quite like. But why is Sven so reluctant to play Michael Carrick? You cant bring in Carragher just because Carrick had one bad game. Keep Carrick in there, play Gerrard upfront with Owen like he did today and save Crouchie, Lennon and Walcott for the last 20 minutes. With Gerrard and Lampard both giving their attacking instincts full rein, it can only do England good. And please, PLEASE dont bring on Jenas and/or Hargreaves unless England is cruising 5-0 with 10 minutes to go. Why didnt Sven take Nolan and Ashton? Argggh. And its a sad world when a defender as incredible as Carragher cant start in central defence. Could he play with Terry and Rio gets pushed into the holding role?
Christ, I cant wait for the World cup.
And Joe Cole- fucking hell, that guy is brilliant on the ball. He's got some silky skills, surely he's half-Brazilian? I think England's problems on the left may be well and truly solved.
Crouch may become the first striker to become a cult figure on the basis of a silly dance on TV, but that was a good goal and a cheeky celebration as well. Something like that makes me wonder if maybe he should partner Owen upfront after all. Would it work? If only he could bloody head the ball! How can you be 6 foot 7 and not be absolutely deadly in the air? Hope he kicks ass though, there's been too many mean comments about the poor guy.
