alanabit... "There was little cheating..."

That was the most enjoyable part of the game for me. It was a straight forward game. It was football, fast and furious.

I certainly agree that England seemed to be dead on their feet at times. No support moving forward to allow the forwards options.

One thing that appeared odd to me many times in many games is that the ball ends up to the left or right of the goal and there is nobody there to get after it. It's difficult for me to get a handle on the reason(s) because I only see the play in the field of vision shown by the cameras. Especially on corners... is that because they need players in front of the goal and defenders further back to cover "fast breaks"?
