All the post-game interviews from the players sounded the same throughout the tournament, yeah we didn't bury our chances and our technical play was not the best, but oh well we worked hard. The facts are that England had one less day of rest and had to fly in from Ottawa. And even when Canada was beating the lower seeded teams, it was not too impressive. I actually think people have been too easy on the team. Everything was set-up for a much better performance this time.
Jason de Vos has been talking on Twitter about how hard work and grit is no longer enough and both the Men's and Women's team will need technical abilities going forward.
