Seriously, as Kraigy put it, what you do out where you play means little compared to most other big countries and what they have to go through. The fact that Mexico is the only team of note, and not a

John Terry? Come on please, i love the guy but much like Robinson, i think he has been starstruck by the pressure of the World Cup. Terry has had far too many blunders to be considered in the Fifa World Cup squad, and the only noteable thing i remember him doing was the clearence from near the line.

Ashley Cole, Joe Cole or (gulp) Hargreaves would fit much better in that squad.

Erm, what? How has Robinson been 'starstruck by the pressure of the World Cup'?

Because he had an awful tournament? Granted he didn't really have to make a save, but every time a cross came in he flapped at it and was thoroughly unconvincing.

Apart from some of the saves he did make, particularly in extra-time of the Portugal match.

Where's Miguel?

On the floor, still crying about his leg?

Wait. Let me guess....

Neville was better than him?

Where did I say that? No, Neville wasn't better than him but there were a few others who were.

And Robinson only conceded 2 in 5 matches, rockbox. Four clean sheets. And those 2 goals came in a rather meaningless group match. He didn't have an awful tournament, he didn't have a fantastic tournament but he had a solid one - no major mistakes or spills, four clean sheets.
