Continental
Soccer Teams
Showing Improvement
London, May 29.
The recent Continental soccer tour by English teams De Pinna Wins
showed that the gap which onco existed bo- twoon the standard of play in England and in the European countries has boen:ão fossaned as to bo, in some cases, no gap at all.
It is probably still true to say that England's best team, playing well, could still beat any coun- try in Europe, if not in the world, on a neutral ground, but it is equally true to say that whereas in the past an English side could afford to play below form and still scrape "home, today this means certain defeat.
Furthermore,
nway i --playing from home, generally regarded as having a disadvantage of at least ano if not two goals, means that no English team can feel com- placent about any European team they meet. And they do not.
Hard Training
One has to trayel round with English teams to appreciate just how hard they train on foreign tours in order to keep up the They prestige of their country. might feel that such tours are holiday for services rendered to their country
past during the season and that the main thing is to have a good time, white on tour, but that is just what Eng- lish teams do not do, and they are to be greatly admired for the devotion to the job they have in hand
