I don't know if this is true but someone posted on The Telegraph BBC commentator Phil Neville's comments on the Italy-England game:
"70th minute: (2-1) "Plenty of time left on the clock..no need to rush"
80th minute: (2-1) "I always think there's no need to panic at this stage"
90th minute: (2-1) "5 minutes to go, plenty of time, take the extra pass"
95th minute: (2-1) "Just wait for their mistake.."
Funny stuff.
Of course you don't panic but you do need some urgency and there was none with England.
Take the extra pass? England's passing game is average at best.
Waiting for 'their' mistake is so wonderfully delusional and arrogant only an English football pundit could muster.
***
It's not that hard to figure out England. There's a lot we can say about why England fails to impress but let's keep it short and say they're good players but their tactical abilities are suspect.
England's record at the World Cup is not on par with the great powers but it's not as terrible as portrayed either.
Oh, well. Carry on.
