When the going gets tough England don't handle it.
I’ve just put my house on England for the Euros.

A pen that Jude was looking for after he over ran the ball, an intercept and counter attack due to a bit of sloppiness and a bit of a defensive howler. All brilliantly finished but none that were actually constructed except for the Italian goal.
To be fair, most goals in football are the result of a mistake by somebody.


For example, every goal Man Utd have conceded this season has been the result of the mistake of signing that clown from Internazionale.

Very true but better sides with better players aren't going to do that, Italy are a fairly scratch side with a new coach and yet should've been more than a goal up in the first thirty.

England have always been essentially weak in the middle (creatively) while being at nearly full strength, still with Jude making the difference he might be enough to get them over the line in a tournament. Maybe.

Pairing Rice with Phillips has always been negative, and quite frankly bonkers.

To be fair, he wasn’t carrying a whole team on his back the other night.
