The thing about the Italians cheating their way through games and to the latter stages of tournaments is that they are decent footballers to begin with. England haven't got any decent footballers to begin with, so adding craftyness isn't really a goer. What we need to concentrate on are things like ball retention and passing...
That's true. We think England are bad, Italy go out in the first round, like the last world cup is a bad deal for them, but somehow they still managed to get to the final of the European Championships where they got stuffed 4-0 by Spain. So even if Italy are going through a bad patch, it isn't that bad compared to England.
Wouldn't be surprised if the Italians get rotten tomatoes thrown at them when they get off that plane. England do need to rise to the same level as Italy in the future, because it's just the same old, same old every single tournament.
