[LU] New levels of indifference

[Sutton / Smail]

I thought the England team gave all they had - their downfall was mainly 
that they were outplayed and outthought. Apart from some terrible passing 
and hoofs up the park (which is in line with a team uncomfortable with the 
ball and under pressure aka Leeds United) there was no more in the tank. I 
think it's more appropriate to be giving credit to the Italian side who 
prevented England playing.
What is depressing is that England as a footballing nation have fallen 
further behind and although the Premiership is perceived as one of the 
"best" leagues, when it comes down it, England are barely in the top six 
globally. We're out now which is about right, we qualified from a weak group 
and if Italy hadn't seen us off, rest assured Germany or Spain would have. 
So when everyone's "gutted" about the exit defeat, I can't help thinking 
what people really expected. At least we have avoided the humiliation of a 
thrashing by Germany or Spain.
