“Fourth in the world? You’re having a laugh!” That was the chant heart ‘round Wembley Stadium on Tuesday night from the Wales supporters in the building. Yes, England eventually won the match 1-0 to secure all three points and a likely place in Euro 2012, but they were hardly convincing in the process. Honestly, the Wales fans had a point.
England Vs. Wales: Full Time, Three Lions Win Disappointing Match
Aaron Ramsey was easily the best player on the pitch, while England lacked invention. Stewart Downing and Ashley Young did well to connect for a goal, but it was England’s best move of the night. They were lackluster, and though three points is all that really matters in the end, it wasn’t encouraging.
Late in the game, substitute striker Robert Earnshaw missed an absolute sitter for Wales, more or less illustrating the difference between the two teams. Aaron Ramsey can create all the chances in the world, but there’s no one there to finish them off. Just like Arsenal, when Robin van Persie inevitably gets injured next month.
