England are notoriously bad starters in the Rugby World Cup,just take a look back. They start badly and then steadily improve and this one will be no different. It's too early to judge on the first game. Suppose Argentina lose their next match by wider margin than this one then England's performance can be put into perspective.

The whole performance was rubbish full stop,11 penalties missed between both sides say's it all.the distribution of the ball and passes and failure to release the ball quickly made it a garbage game to watch mate!! lets hope they(England) do get better

thats a fact.
their is a serious and alarming lack of respect for argentina also. Personally i dont like them but i dont underestimate them either. I dont know what people were expecting here... a 60 to 3 easy ride? you kidding me. This was always gona be a tight game.
As a show it was not inspiring, but thats the way it goes when play Argentina every time. they drag teams into a mire and thats what they did today. England could only be expected to win but some people have an attitude of they played badly... News flash thats what happens when playing Argentina, thats the way it always goes. Time to move on to the next game.
