Yes it was a terrible goalkeeping error, and yes, Seaman was at fault for letting in a goal, bjt there is no way that he should be blamed for this defeat.
We had 40 minutes to get back into the game, 35 of those against 10 men, and we didn't once trouble their goalkeeper.
We wasted possession, and didn't shoot from decent postitions. I counted 2 ocassions in which Dyer got the ball at the edge of the area, and layed to ball of rather than taking a pop at goal. Just hitting the target would have fired us up, but in the end we just passed it about too much, let Brazil get organised, then just threw the ball in.
Still, if at the start of the tournament, we were told that we'd get to the quarter final, I doubt many people would have been disappointed with that. It's just a shame that we went out so tamely.

I felt sorry for Seaman. Poor sod.
But you know he's going to get so much stick around the country, when the season starts up again.
Sad but true.

I'm certainly not. It's a team game, and everyone has the same responsibilities as everyone else; this includes taking the celebrations and dissapointments in equal doses. Seaman has been a great goalie for England, still as good as ever in this World Cup, considering his age, and the amount of people who wrote him off.
I just hope he still has a bit of international goalkeeping left in him, as nobody can replace him, not even Martyn.
[David Seaman, we applaud you, and every other member of the England team who gave their all.]
