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.
