hahahahahaha!
I was discussing more style. Even bad English teams in the 70s and 80s still played the English style (fixed 4-4-2). You could even go back much further to England-France in the opener in WC 82. England were crap but they went full out attack and beat France 3-1. Of course later England would crash out and France played in the classic semifinal.. but at least England played THEIR style (win or lose). And I think that no matter how bad England is, if they play their style, they can beat anyone because it's a tricky pressing style that's hard to defend against. England is one of the team I like because of this style.
England is England! Who cares if the rest of the world is playing 4-3-1-2 or 4-2-3-1 or whatever invention they come up with. English football is 4-4-2.
But today.. I'm not sure what England was doing.
