Owen blasts England team for playing badly against Holland

London, Mar 2 (ANI): Ace striker Michael Owen has attacked the England team for playing badly against Holland.

He said that The Three Lions played badly against Holland and deserved to lose, tweeting: "Surprised at the reaction after last night's match. Experimental team or not, getting beat at Wembley is disappointing. I mean, it's hardly like we played brilliant and were unlucky to lose."

Many experts were full of praise for the performance of caretaker-boss new line-up, despite going down 3-2 to the Dutch, The Sun reports.

Manchester United striker Owen could not take any positives from the game, and said: "No matter what team is out there, losing has to be frowned upon.

"Have we slipped that far behind other teams that people now accept getting beat so long as we 'show some pride'? I hope not." (ANI)
