We were in their faces and they were not enjoying the intensity of the contest but we sagged off, as will happen since no side ever has been able to sustain that intensity for 90 minutes uninterrupted, and boom Foden had the quality to punish us. Only a handful of players hit that strike with both pace and accuracy.
They came out with intensity after the interval, forced the issue, and we had no answer. We are much improved but against probably the best side in the world we have no room for error, either self-inflicted or of the officiating variety.
We battled and we showed some class, Harrison a fingertip away from a brace, so I'm disappointed but not filled with ennui as has too often been the case.
