I didn't expect that really disappointing... The lack of top class opposition to play against just kills them they need 10 games ( Japan.Aussie. States  and a sth American) teams...preparation is a joke

I still think there are so many quality players in that  team....maybe a more defensive mind set is better, but then everybody slags them off for not getting out and playing..!

Steve Cain did a fantastic job  with 2009 team and  did a good job with the 2011 team. Until !       .. Defensive yep but out of group stage...

I'm guttered for them and hope they can pick up something v italia..

Also de Jong deserved to be picked  so what that his Dad as the boss......
