It was a tale of two different halves.

England seem to dominate the first half, Italy the second.

What helped Italy in the second half is they opened up the game and stretched out the English defense by utilizing their wings much more.

BTW, whatever happened to the English “long ball” game. For a long time that’s all they knew how to do.

Well that 2nd minute goal against Italy didn't do Italy any good. That kind of thing can share a team's confidence for a bit.
And yeah Italy outplayed England in the second half.
