Both teams have issues.
The Netherlands team's defense prevents them from playing forward.
While England's midfield is not that harmonious, with so many strong Premier League teams, no team can fully rely on an all-English midfield.
Even though Capello has been in charge of England for a long time, he hasn't been able to completely improve this.
The English midfield itself isn't that compatible, even a star on Gerrard's level is no exception.
When he was with Alonso at Liverpool, Gerrard played the most comfortably.
Wilshere instinctively coordinated with Gerrard, but the pass went astray.
De Jong intercepted the ball and sent a pass forward, van Persie on the left jumped up, used his calf to bring the ball down, and charged towards England's penalty area.
Cahill didn't give way, and Terry had to patrol the side.
Seeing van Persie dribbling towards the center, Terry immediately rushed over.
