Well, everyone has his own different opinion, but I think you'd be hard pressed to find someone saying that England has been the most positive team on the field today . 

Still, there has been some good chances from both sides. With a bit more luck, the score could have been changed by any side.

Well to be fair, Italy have just played really well, England have been positive but its hard when the ball is coming back at you so quickly, especially this 2nd half which has been nearly all Italy.

England didn't set out to play for a 0-0 like greece or the cechs its just happened that way because of poor finishing & really good defending.

I just think that England hasn't been as pressing in the midfield as they could have been. They've been losing too much of their possession there, and that could have been a potential weapon against a much slower Italy midfield. 

Just now, there was another ball to the post by Italy because no one was pressing the man with the ball in a near fatal long distance strike zone.
