By the end of this disjointed, joyless performance by England, the Welsh supporters taunted the hosts with a chorus of “fourth in the world? You’re having a laugh”. Fair point.Three ugly points still fell England's way, taking them six clear in Group G, moving within bag-packing, passport-grabbing proximity of Euro 2012. Hold the fanfares, though. England have been down this road before and it tends to prove a cul-de-sac. The unremittingly painful feeling remains that Fabio Capello’s men will travel to Poland and Ukraine next summer more in hope than expectation. Hang fire on the street parties.
