I’m a fan of Roy. Such a gent. Loved him wishing all the Italians the best, in Italian, before the game.
Most likeable boss England have had since Sir Bobby Robson.
England largely played an exciting attacking game, compare that to the last 2 World Cups, 2006 and 2010.
It’s been reported in the news that since 1998, only 4 teams have advanced after losing their 1st game. So we will see. I know in 1994, Italy lost their opener to Ireland, then Italy defeated Norway and in their 3rd group stage game, only drew Mexico but Italy still made the World Cup final.
So, I’m getting use to the idea that even if England were not to advance, they’ve still played an entertaining attacking style. That’s not all bad.
2 more matches and I don’t have it in for Costa Rica or Uruguay. The teams that advance obviously, will be earning it.
