Were there any green shoots or recovery or is the recession likely to continue for another generation or so?
I'm not sure that if you compare England 2010 v England 2012, the difference in outcomes was due to anything more than the luck of the draw. France squandered the top place in the group so England got Italy, who had one of those nights when they were going to keep failing with the final ball or shot. Nothing else really changed. The famed Roy organizational prowess did not appear except for the early stages of each half. After that it was Sven/Capello time.
