We beat Spain away which I wouldn't have expected but also lost to them at home showing inconsistencey.
When it comes to the big games we fail. We need to learn to finish teams off. That would be progress. I suppose we'll see in the Euros but I expect the same if and when it comes to the games against the big hitters in a tournament knock out.
