As soon as they start panicking they just go into survive mode at the back, which is what we've seen with England for the past 3 or 4 World Cups.
I'd rather they forgot about those risks, actually just let the odd goal in and instead concentrate on scoring as many goals as they can themselves.
Absolutely Realist, we know they can do it if they don't get intimidated and go into defence mode.
Call me a pessimist, but and old friend (who was a decent footballer) used to say that; "You are only as good as the other team let you be"....And I think the dirty tactics employed by Columbia took England by surprise...
But Columbia could play a bit also, after scoring the only proper goal of the game.....
Win or lose, it would be nice to see some exciting football tomorrow.
