to their credit, England did what they are really best at: that dogged, full-body-committed defending. They won every ball that was aired into their box and sacrificed their bodies to the cause as well as maintaining strict discipline. Forward of that, they had absolutely nothing to offer and it really woulda been a travesty for them to have advanced ahead of Italy today. (Ah glad is Pirlo take dat cheeky penalty and not Balo.....really makes that back heel attempt By Balo last year look so insignificant.)
