I don’t follow football at all but I take a passing interest in the results. Last night England failed to beat Switzerland in 120 minutes of proper football. It took the lottery of a penalty shoot-out to overcome them. Switzerland are ranked #19 in the FIFA rankings, 14 places below England and just above Iran.
Judged by the results, the performance of the England team has been, at best, underwhelming. In the group stage they managed to score two goals in four and a half hours of football. They couldn’t manage to put a goal past Slovenia, ranked #57 in the world. In the last sixteen they scraped a goal in the fifth minute of added time to survive into extra time.
I don’t know how a draw against such a lowly team can be described as a “great performance”. At this rate England will probably win the competition on the toss of a coin.
