You are comparing club v country.
if you have the attacking forces of a club like Barce in your national team you can play attacking football but alas few teams have especially England so you have to play to your strengths,in Englands case defending, and wish for a bit of luck on the break which unfortunately England were never going to get because of the lack of oppertunities created by our midfield /attack.
We do have to congratulate ourselves on being able to substain that much pressure and not conceed a goal against italy, like I said previously we do not have that all out attacker goal machine any more.
