We lost, we didn't play particularly well, we expect so much, but hey lets move on.
England did not play well - their supporters do expect so much (if only the same as any other supporters do) and should indeed move on - but the England team did not lose.
Despite a midfield that could not support either the attack or the defence very well - England remained unbeaten, conceeded only two silly goals (that did not matter anyway) and even with a weakened attack, managed to score 5 goals. One of which was one of the best of the whole competition..........
And despite playing sides whose intention seemed to get England players issued with yellow and red cards - they finished low in the table of warnings issued. Not surprisingly, Portugal currently top this particular table. Let us hope that is the only one they will finish top of.
