England's main issue this whole knockout stage has been scoring goals from open play.

Not really the problem is what I mention earlier during the QF's it's a playmaking issue, the players have the ability but the decision making and vision needs work an example is Sterling the were a number of cases in the tournament where he got into a good situation but goes on to try and shoot or run through a crowd of players instead of passing to someone near by who is unmarked. A number of players were doing it and this forced Kane to go deeper in the pitch to restore some composure but as a result our main finisher is not up field, the were many cases today were the final ball is coming from Kane to someone like Alli when it should be the other way around.

The amount of chances that could have been created from better decision making alone would have solved the open play scoring issue but that can only come with experience.
