If England's finishing/delivery was better, they would have been 2-0 up at half time. I feel like that's all they're really missing.
Lmao, Gary Cahill is "disappointed" that they didn't win with all the possession that they had. Even I can tell this manager and the pundits that possession means nothing unless you are doing something with. How about actually playing direct, attacking football for once?

sticking it in the net is the hardest part of the game, where are we going to get a Ronaldo or Messi from ?

No idea. Fair enough, the opposition parked the bus but we should be good enough to get past it, or at least ask more question of the keeper who didn't have much to do all night.
oh well better than Losing I guess. looks to be either iceland or portugal in the last 16, bad news is the france likely await in the quarter finals should we get past that, but there was little hope of getting past the quarter finals anyway.

Perfect analysis.
I agree with you.
We never really tested their keeper enough, there was that shot in the first half and then nothing at all after that.
Just terrible all round really.
