Maybe this looked good on paper a few months ago, when England was making its final World Cup preparations. Yet in light of the unrelenting wave of injuries to star players in the buildup to Friday’s opening whistle, England’s game Monday with a South Africa club — the Platinum Stars — was a classic case of a team and country walking on eggshells.
As it turned out, England avoided any injuries, but the Three Lions didn’t exactly set hears and minds alight with a 3-0 victory which The Guardian dubbed, “unconvincing” and The Times labeled “unimpressive.”
Not exactly what Fabio Capello was hoping for ahead of the June 12 opener with the U.S. in Rustenburg.
