England's defending is why they won't win this tournament.

 

It's like a game of Top Trumps, isn't it?  If you have one weakness, it doesn't mater how many strengths you have, your opponents will find you out.

 

The team that wins this tournament will be the one that doesn't have any obvious weaknesses - they don't have to be the best at anything, just not the worst at anything.

You can pump a team without winning, as England just proved.

Without winning, scoring goals or creating more than one clear cut chance in the entire second half (Akinfeev's save), no such pumping was delivered.

Much like the disgusting Welsh game earlier, a goalkeeping error gave a veneer of effectiveness to what was in fact a toothless performance.
