this might be tactical instruction, as the right back is suppoed to be dodgy.

as good as the first 70 minutes were, we have been appalling since, absolutely run off the park

wooohoo. So many times ive seen us play well and go out on pens. Tonight (I pray) it will be a game where we ride our luck and play rubbish and win on pens

Most of us knew this before the tournament, to be fair.

we really are desperately poor everywhere on the pitch with the exception of the back four - on this performance one of the most inept sides in the tournament in terms of basic skills. In fairness Hodgson has done well tactically to get us to this position - played to the limited strengths that we have. Fair enough but there is a long long way to go before English football can compete at this level other than through guts and determination. Disappointing. Despite the fact that we all knew it before the competition began you always hope so it's always upsetting. I guess we have to try to enjoy the fact that we kept it tight and hope for penalties and the Italians might just blow it instead of us...........just this once.............please.

Of course we have most of the possession. Oh wait that's not right.
It took you 119 mins to work that out ?

Magnificent result to get to 0-0 having been so outplayed.
Is he shite at this level, or is he simply not match fit? Let's hope we get another game to judge...
