The whole England team will be hurting enough as it is, they gave it their best shot and have been very classy in defeat. I wish the fucking media would give them a break.
No, that is not good enough. England had the players to potentially win the tournament. That they did not, unlike the Football cannot be put down to unrealistic expectations. England has more players to pick from than anyone else and is richer than everyone else, that almost by default should with home advantage be a guaranteed place in the final.
So there has to be an inquest and results to make sure it does not happen again.
