England!!! What an Embarrassment!!

[Win2Win]

OMG!!! That was the most painful English match I've ever watched.... after 30 mins I just wanted it to end ... and by extra time I was pleading for Italy to score to put us out of our misery

We have no idea how to keep the ball, and worse, we spent more than half the match playing defence as though we were 1-0 up!!

And why the hell did the 2 Ashley's get to take pens? Surely Terry who has the experience, and Carroll who is a striker were a must?

Last night we made R.of Ireland look good

I agree, we were a shambles. Not only did we look technically inferior, we looked physically inferior too. I hope the FA were watching this well as in 10 or 15 years, England won't be even getting to these tournaments the way things are going. I dont want to win like that, who does...it was terrible viewing.

We aren't that far behind the Italians in terms of squad personnel. So to have a gameplan that consisted of trying to hang on for penalties from 20 mins onwards was nothing but a disgrace and a farce.
