They played well, even against Switzerland, but they failed to capitalize their chances.
It's not coming Rome.

That is great banter
I didn't realise that. I was skeptical that Lukaku would live up to the hype because of watching him for United but this has been a disaster for him and Chelsea.
Lukaku is just an incredibly limited player who is statistically proficient. He is probably the best example in football of how stats should never be used in isolation to determine a players quality.
I've just skimmed the last few pages and for what it's worth (as a Dutchman) I always support England.
It's weird to support an English club and not have an affinity with the country it's based in.
Because of the anti-English sentiment from the other homenations and Ireland, I always find myself rooting against them. My friend's enemies are my enemies.
Perhaps worth mentioning, almost the whole of the Netherlands want England to lose, maybe even more so than Germany. So the English people might want to take this into consideration before feeling the need to support Holland in future tournaments.

Fair. He's really productive when the team suits him but struggles otherwise and can't seem to cut it at the top level.
In the 2018 WCQ playoff against Sweden Italy failed to score in two matches. I think they may have also drawn Madedonia at home in the group stage.

In that Qualification they actually were having difficulties to create overall chances. Now they actually create a lot but fail to score. Gone are the days that even the Italian NT reserve strikers were clinical.
I blame the Piranhas.
