They should grow in confidence from this and a young team with confidence makes for a dangerous opposition.
I have to agree, I mean, I was cynically cheering against England, but what do you want? Teams are not going to come out flying in their first game, you have to grow into tournaments and improve as the games go on.

They got a win in their first game against their weakest opponent. Great. Job done. They made it harder than it had to be but nobody cares about anything but the points. On to the next one.
