The sad thing is that England stopped playing and just gave the match up. To my surprise, they actually could have beaten Argentina if they kept the ball. But I gotta be honest; there are always 4-5 teams playing better football than them, so I wouldn't be surprised if most English people never see it coming home during their lifetimes. |
100%, I think that is what is most disappointing about the game. I was talking to my sister during the match and before Argentina score I said how dangerous the English team were playing.
I think they really need to look at the sort of confident play France and even Spain are capable of (Argentina too). It's not so much a quality gulf (though it exists) as it is how they are tactically going about the games.
But oh well, there's always the bronze match. A game against France is exciting nonetheless.
