Last night was a fantastic game and an excellent result for England. There's no avoiding the fact that we weren't very good for a lot of the game and made a very mediocre team look good but as i pointed out to my brother at the final whistle, as average as it was, it's better than any england performance in in the world cup 2 years ago by some way. We have to take small mercies with England. You have to remember, Holland lost to Denmark! Italy couldn't beat Croatia. A win of any kind in this tournament is not easy and unless you're Spain or Germany, playing slick cohesive football is just not something most national teams take to very quickly in major tournaments.
Tho we refused to accept it, in terms of tournament performances and results, we've been one of the worst in the world for over a decade and in our history have only managed to get out of our group in the european championships twice. For this tournament to be a success we need to get out of your group and IF we're really lucky with the draw we'll get a weak team in the QFs and get to a semi final for only the 3rd time in our history, in any tournament!
