England played defense like I learned it.

They didnt back away from shit. They went straight at the attacker and took a number of shots to the body in a defensive effort. All WC I’ve been watching other teams half ass it and thinking wtf is wrong with them. Step in to the shot and close off the attackers angle. Dont flinch like a little wussy boy. Man up. Dont give up free shots. You’re playing in the World Cup for God’s sake. Act like a professional.

So, in my book, mad props to England for playing some old school defense, especially when down a man.

Really gutsy performance imo.
