England Flops Before Start Of S. American Tour
England's chances of victory in Rio de Janeiro this week look dim after a weak display against an ex- perimental Italian team at Wembley last week when they were held to a 2-2 draw.
Nobody came out of the game with any credit except the unexpectedly Hyely Italians and perhaps centre-forward Bobby Charlton, whose first goal for England was a beauty. Only consolatory note is that both Italian goals were scored shortly after half-time when English left-half Blowers was off the field injured.
