i think in a sense it's good, because now they know they won't win by just showing up, England really have become complacent over the past couple of years through overhyping the team, but to be honest we have not been any good since we played against brazil, we overcame so many hurdles that year, I was actually proud to be English lol. They need go back to looking for better players except this time we need defence and not offense:P:P |
Portugal was the same for WC 2006 and Euro 2008. Too much complacency due to the super-stardom that some players thought they had.
Hopefully, we'll continue to see a turn around from that mentality in the game against Spain, we'll need a very solid defense if we want to win against them.
As for England, I really do think that they need to find better defenses, but also, find a coach that fits the style of the Premier League more than just trying to create an unique style that would take more time for players to assimilate.
It was a shame seeing Rooney being reduced to playing behind the strikers.
