Does England want to score?

the Danes are struggling too. I think both Denmark and England understand their position and dont want to do anything to give it up in form of a mistake - attacking with too many and getting caught in counter.

the upside is today is almost over and tomorrow is Group E. ( all teams tied at 3pts )

It really undercuts the argument about not expanding to 32 teams
Having the cushion of a probable 3rd place inclusion is worse (imo) than having Greece or Iceland involved

Side note- Amazon has a 3 pt series running called Italia90. Its all about the "hooligans" of England - a bit of historical perspective and the stand Italy took to squash Hooligans at the 1990 WC

( FIFA put England and all 3 group stage matches on the island of Sardinia LOL )

I had always heard about the Hooligans, but had no real appreciation for just how organized they were. ( "Firms" = "Gang" )

England seemed to wake up for the last few minutes. So they can make quick passes, actual runs, take on opposing players, and create decent opportunities.

So you have to wonder why the general strategy seems to be to take it easy, receive the ball, sit on it for a few seconds having a bit of a think, maybe a cup of tea and a biscuit, then pass it backwards, sideways, or occasionally forwards to someone so they can pass it straight back again.

England will be up against a third placed team from group D, E, or F next. So Netherlands is one possibility, but who knows about group E. Netherlands would surely have to be a more open game, but there's still a possibility of England snoozing their way through one more round perhaps.
