England find themselves 1-0 down to Slovenia to half time in this afternoon’s Euro 2016 qualifier at the Stozice Stadium.
Roy Hodgson’s Three Lions have bossed the match so far in terms of possession and territory, but they deserve to be behind for the sheer stupidity of their defending.

Slovenia’s goal came in the 37th minute when England got their offside trap in a mess, allowing Milivoje Novakovic to jog through and place a tidy finish beyond Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart.
Quite why England felt the need to play an offside trap against a 36-year-old with almost no pace is baffling enough, but the way they messed it up was an even more spectacular fail.
Chelsea star Cahill inexplicably made the late decision to push up alongside Manchester United centre-back Chris Smalling, only to abandon the plan half a second later.
Had he simply tracked the run of Novakovic, Cahill could have stopped the Slovenian attack with an interception or tackle.
