Very poor. Ponderous and predictable a lot of the time. Lacking in ideas and all too often negative even when steering defeat and certain tournament exit in the face. It's almost like they'd rather lose 1-0 playing with no ambition than give it their all and lose 3-0. There's something about playing for England that brings the mediocre out of a lot of players. I have no idea what it is but these young lads showed they have the skill, pace, flair and spirit all too many of their senior squad idols lack when.
For those who missed it, some highlights:
