The national set up is a discrace and shall continue to be for many years....no one is actually ever scared to play against England anymore...very sad demise. Next Summer same old story !
For Sven we got the 2002 world cup quarters, 2004 euro quarters, 2006 world cup quarters. Now if he could have kept his todger in his trousers and stopped talking to fake sheiks and peter kenyon then who knows??
We've not always been poor, but we have an unrealistic view of what success should be. Albeit I do think that in terms of depth of players we are as low as I can remember given the need to look into premier league reserves and championship players and senior pros 'retiring' from the team. I remember laughing at the Welsh and the Jocks when they needed to look at the second tier to get a team together. That was 10 years ago and now we're matching them.
Limped is far better. Ground out suggests a certain amount of application. I don't think England applied themselves very well at all as we were f***ing shit and couldn't keep the ball in the last half an hour as the world's 117th best team ran rings around us. And Earnshaw missed a chance my granny would have tucked away."England limped to a 1-0 win over Wales"
I'd say we ground out a 1-0 win over Wales, but there you go.
I have no interest in what Paul Ince has to say, whether he is correct or not.
2004 - Euro quarters, what an achievement! There's only 16 teams in the comp!!!
