Continental capitals, from Paris to Belgrade, to-night publish long interviews with local footballers acclaiming Italy’s performance in holding England to a goal on foreign ground, while in Rome itself, now that fever heat has died down, the result is characterised as defeat with honour.

England’s captain, Hapgood, had his nose broken, while the Italian centre half, Monti, was crippled and retired a few minutes after the start.
