Academic as you say yes, but then again England have'nt put in a good performance. FULL STOP. Last night just underlined how poor they have been. Dire is a good word to describe their performance.
So they take an early bath, and the fans get left feeling betrayed/ let down, again. I told my sister-in-law weeks ago, that England didnt have the quality to win the compitation. Which reminds me, I didnt email her and take the p1$$.
