Route One Football from England is about as surprising as Italians diving in the box to win a penalty.
And for the Italian supporters here, that call was correct, but dude did dive. Blame for the PK goes to the Aussie defender who went to ground and offered Italy a perfect diving opportunity.
Aussies can't complain anyway. They had 11 v. 10 and still couldn't score. No sympathy for the bloody convicts.
With England's current injury situation they'll win the Ashes back very soon anyway and nobody in Australia will care about football unless it's Australian Rules.
England already won back the Ashes last summer.
Only to those who know nothing about football. You are probably confusing us with the dire USA side, who made a swift exit from the competition. England changed their game about ten years ago and were able to play sweet passing football which allowed them to destroy Holland 4-1 and Germany 5-1 in major competitions.
Unfortunately, we reverted back to the typical USA-like route one when Owen and Rooney became injured and we had to rely on the giraffe Peter Crouch.
There were signs in the match against Ecuador that we were returning to the nice one touch football which we played to qualify for this competition.
