Good character from England tonight. Very well done.
The great positives were that when they went behind and had a few scary moments, they didn’t (like so many England teams in recent years) seem inhibited or reticent to at least attempt to stand up and express themselves in the face of adversity.
I believe Hodgson and Neville have instilled this sense of purpose.
A worrying negative following on from this sense of purpose and attitude though is the lack of aptitude to keep the ball and pass it around a bit. But this will certainly come.
Disastrous setpiece defending was also very surprising.
But hey, like I said, this looks a strong willed outfit with fire in the bellies of the young pretenders in particular.
They should come through the group now, hopefully topping it to avoid Spain.Pepper, you are right. England’s defence is poor. But I believe Roy will take us forward and bring the youngsters on and gel them together so we can be a forced to be reckoned with in the future. I hope the same can happen for all the home nations. And ROI too.

Even as inexperienced an eye as mine could see that God Himself couldn’t help that team.
Didn’t we win then?
Yes! We h’nglish won! :P :?: :?: :?:

Ditto!
Oh England I love you!
We’re building for the future now. Goodbye so called “golden generation” step forth the youngsters.
We won’t win this tournament, but under Roy, and bringing a young team forward we can build for the future.
Oh England I love you!
Until you break my heart! Again!
Yay! Enjoy your weekend folks! I have to admit I am semi drunk in charge of a keyboard. But luckily it’s a keyboard that does predictive text!
Now just seen Welbeck’s goal. Fluke or skill? I thought it was fantastic anticipation of where the ball was and the goal.

Yep! 3.2! Oh the passions and heartbreak of supporting England!
Beer tastes better now! What a goal! Reminds me of Gerrard’s goal when we beat Germany 5.1. Not that we will ever beat Germany 5.1 again. But an inspired sub by Roy.
Beer tastes sour now. :(
