[QUOTE="Mrs. Peter Quinn, post: 843848, member: 12190"] There's also an assumption creeping in here which is that Scotland were so bad, any team would have looked great against them. It's just not the case. England were extremely precise and ruthless, had a better set-piece, and had a little help from the referee. I don't think any of the other teams in the tournament, while as good in other ways, would have done anywhere near that to Scotland off first phase ball. I think it's really easy therefore to write off the way the 10 - 12 - 13 axis played but that's not right imo. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] Agree with that...bottom line is I don't think we're going to win and to have a better chance we can't ignore those who can do something from nothing. Includes all those you mentioned. [/QUOTE]
