It's just the basic skills they don't seem to have mastered. The number of crosses which went sailing over everyone's heads or shots which were scuffed (yes, Theo, I do mean you).
How can these be the finest footballers England have to offer?

That's probably a slight exaggeration. Theo was hit and miss. A really bad miss and I recall a really poor first touch but he also whipped in a good cross and had a goal disallowed.Originally Posted by Letters
It's far from perfect but hasn't that always been the case with England? I'm just saying with this England squad you can attempt to build a squad that are capable of more than just hoofing it long.
He did whip in one very good cross but shouldn't players at this level be able to do that on a fairly consistent basis? I'm constantly baffled that they don't seem able to.
I guess it has always been the case to an extent.
Apply the same logic to a penalty kick. It's always been the case.
Xhaka sent of for Switzerland in their 2 - 0 win over Portugal.
Rashford banged in a hat trick tonight on his U-21 debut. Prem, Europe and both levels of international he's scored on his debut. The boy is looking pretty promising it has to be said.
I watched Belarus France last night, ended 0-0.
Bif was a bit shit.
Apparently Xhaka applied to switch nationality to Kosovo.
I'm sure that will endear him to the Swiss.
There are so many holes in his plan.
If you don’t send this signature to ten people, you will become a Spurs fan.
With this letter I want to tell all around the Albanian public opinion, that my next career will continue in the future for Switzerland. I also want to clarify in this paper to all the readers how I came to this decision.
According to an official statement distributed FIFA, we’ve been informed that if someone played in the European Championships in 2016, they are no longer entitled to play for another national.
The Kosovo Football Federation and FIFA do not have a clear agreement on the transfer of players from Switzerland to Kosovo.
FIFA clearly states who played at EURO 2016 has no right to change the team they represent.
For this reason it is now impossible to change.If he has applied, hopefully his onfield decision making is a bit more consistent.The debate about you playing for Kosovo has been rekindled, you’ve had to spend time addressing it…
I’m sick of having to repeatedly justify myself. You can’t imagine who exerts pressure all on one hand. My letter on Instagram [Xhaka published a letter in Albanian] should explain why I’ve decided to play on with Switzerland. When headlines are written because of a poor translation, it’s regrettable. What more can I say?
