"If a Cow* Can't Eat It...
...I won't play on it," as Dick Allen, anti-establishment baseball star, famously said about artificial turf.
Although the press tried to pre-cook an excuse for English failure - the artificial turf in Moscow - it was instead was if you believe England "coach", Steve "Steve" McLaren, the usual scapegoat. The referee.
"The penalty was a disgrace, it was outside the box, the linesman didn't give it, it was the referee and he was very far away."
Sorry "Steve". That just about balanced England's offside goal.
The hapless grinner went on to add: "...I can't fault the players."
Well, if that's not the case, one might assume it's the coach's fault.
Dick Allen also earned infamy by scrawling messages in the infield dirt (see above) and commenting on the "boo birds" of Philly: "I can play anywhere; First, Third, Left field, anywhere but Philadelphia."
Looks like England should start scrawling help messages.
As for "Steve" McLaren, he can coach anywhere: Man United (as No.2), Middlesbrough, er Oxford, Derby, anywhere but [for] England.
To quote Allen: "Boo!"
