Re: England v Paraguay
Great first half and poor second one but I don't think he made a mistake taking Owen off. He needs him completely fit for the rest of the matches, there was no need to risk him anymore when we were one up. He took him off and replaced him with someone to strengthen midfield so that Paraguay could be held in the middle. As it happens I think he should have replaced him with a defender and tightened up at the back to stop the risk of a sloppy goal going in. If Paraguay had scored we would have been stuffed, I agree, but I can see the logic in his decision.
