I have the Dutch in my work sweep and as I'm in charge of my work sweep I'd rather they didn't win it or I'll basically be buying myself a bottle of JD (the prize being a bottle of booze of the winner's choice at my expense).

Jeremy Corbyn Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 Have England been defensive or just crap? What I've been seeing is a team that's just not cohesive at all, I don't think it's particularly defensive, maybe a bit cautious, but I think that comes from the fact things aren't working. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNSUN Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 I think the biggest lack of something we've seen so far, bar very fleeting glimpses, is quality bearing in mind the players we have on offer. We're not defensive per se, we're just too safe. I think I've seen enough effort from England as the tournament has progressed, just not enough quality.
