They weren't often even as far away from our goal as the half way line though, were they? So much of the game England had eleven men in their own half - and none of those up too near the centre circle either!
England doing it (if they finally do) the hard way - all eleven in our own half.
Edit: Never fails, does it? - pulling everybody back to preserve a lead, all the team behind the ball and soaking up (and allowing!) the pressure. I can't think why every other team doesn't do it............
