FRANCE 98 – General Media News Template
England manager Hoddle, who now takes his squad to Casablanca for friendlies against Morocco and Belgium next week, admitted: ” We had chances to have buried them. If you don’t take them you don’t win. ” A win would have been better for us but it didn’t pan out for us. But remember this wasn’t for anything today. It is a bit disappointing that things didn’t work out.
“You always want to win. It’s tough but we know it will be that in France.”
Man-of-the-match David Batty said : “It’s not a result we wanted… we were disjointed at times. But they are a good team.” People thought it would be easy but it reminds us that not all is well. It won’t be easy in France but we know that. “But the time to worry is when we are not creating chances. We did create them.”
