6 minutes in and England already look better than they did in 120 minutes vs Italy at Euro 2012

Baines has done a poor job on Darmian so far. Not sure you want to give him that much space.

where was this England team last year. Theyre playing decent ball.

Look at Rooney sulking. Leaving Baines by himself.

What are you seeing England doing good on the pitch to say England is decent?

All they do is defend with 11 players.

These English young guns are for real. This is fun to watch.

The only thing I like what England doing is to copy Liverpool's tactic and use as many Liverpool players as they can. All the national teams should do that. Just copy your best team's strategy and tactic and put as many players as from the same team that are familiar to the tactic.

Like? All of those were distance shots until that last position

That was one hell of a defensive play.

You don't have play well in order to find chances.

That's more than what Italy has created so far

Welbeck doing his share.

Can't blame him, it's 2 on 1 out on the left. Rooney not helping out like he's supposed to

Playing well so far, LOL at Massimo, not like Italy has faired any better :lol:
