Ford was looking for the pass there but the other two members in the backfield just stood on the other side of pitch not moving. Fecking work across you lazy sods.

The crowd are booing England's aimless kicking. Can't blame them.

Weirdly so. Not just slow to get the ball away, but lifts it and then is slow, so the defence has time to come up.

Is that kicking game a major feature of most domestic games in England? Man, it is dull.

Not really, no! The Prem last year was very free-flowing and high-scoring.

And the teams who do kick more generally do so considerably better, with good chases.

They're being told to do it. If they were being coached, you'd expect it to look at least half competent and like there was some sort of plan to do something with it.
