Michael Owen is such a boring monotone twat. Is he reading a script? Not an ounce of variation or meaningful insight from him. Just imagine Thiery Henry was commentating with him: MO: lookedlikealotofswerveonthatone pickedupwellbywaynerooney theyhavetokeepondoingthatortherewillbealotofproblems TH: Yes. Errrrrrrrrr the Italians can move forward as one uneet and this is something England errrrrrrrr have to watch out for.
Probably because the European game has sped up a helluvalot in the last four years. Yes there is more emphasis on possession (thanks to Spanish influence) but at the same time they have super accelerated their counter attacks. International football has been getting faster since South Africa 2010, I don't think Spain got the message.
