It was Everton’s Phil Jagielka who passed to Xabi Alonso before Spain’s first goal.
How did I make a mistake like that?
By writing too fast.
By not watching the half-time replays or discussion.
By not watching the after-match interviews at all.
But not reading any match reports. I haven’t read any, even since I wrote that piece.
But I’ll read some England stuff in Friday’s papers, as I usually do.
It’s important to get key facts right. Especially if you write opinionated pieces.
I’m sorry I got that one wrong.
But I stand by what I said : Spain played like a club side. England have a lot to learn. They can learn it from Fabio Capello.
Ciao,
Have a great weekend,
