Shit teams pack the box all the time to frustrate better sides. It's backs against the wall. It is stupid, in fact, because teams with England's quality would be much better playing their own game instead of letting France come onto them.

I hate the sitting back in your own box form of defending, ever since the day Davor Suker stuck one in against us in the 7th minute of injury time in a Euro 2000 qualifier, and when we threw away a lead in the last minute against Macedonia in the same group. Fortunately, we learned our lesson. England have to do the same now, or else they'll be fucked when they come up against other quality sides in the knock out stages.
