If you're going to hippoty hoppiity about with a penalty you better score it.
There was however no need for England to play like that V Italy when man for man we have the stronger squad. 30% of the ball in the first 90 mins and 1 shot on target in 120.
If Italy had have lost it would have been a injustice as they approached the game looking to win it. It was the worst thing England did score early because like Croatia 3 years ago we just sit back and dig ourselves a trench we cut escape from.
All the talk of training on small pitches and a new England philosophy with the City lads, Mount, Rice, Grealish, Hendo who can all receive a pass and we go and do that. It looked like players who didn't want to play in tight areas under pressure to me and that is why England lost.
