Good international team? I know someone who would disagree. Same level as Andorra you know

Of the Home nations only England can be compared to Andorra going on what I've seen this Summer

I would think the order at the moment is

1 England
2 & 3 Wales/Scotland not much to chose depending if Bale and Ramsey are playing.
4 Ireland
5 N Ireland.

Even taking into account the poor display against Iceland which was basically a f..k up by Woy Hodgson.

It's because he plays like that, it fools the opposition too, so he's impossible to mark! He can tackle well, has some great passes but is inconsistent. He can make awful mistakes which cost us.

He did quite well against Arsenal. Against Sanchez.

CH is not averse to using a man marker, more likely in midfield. He did it once for Norwich against Arsenal marking Cazorlo and got a 0-0 draw.

Not exactly a good international team as it comprises mainly of players who cant get anywhere near the England team but as you say he i s only 24 so time to improve but £4m is a lot of money.

5 players of their current squad were born in England.

Unless their squad is 9 players or less, then you are wrong. Again.

Can you name me one scalp of a half decent team that England have taken in a tournament final in the last 15 years? Note I am asking for just ONE, I can't remember one but there must be surely?

I have no idea why you think we are still the top nation in our sphere, we should be but I'm not sure we are

World class chokers...

To be fair to BensGrandad, he does live in 1974 when there was some truth in this.

Answer a question with a question when was the last time any of the other 4 teams beat England? Nothing to do with the players freezing when the expectation is high.

A 'distant' relative?

It was his bloody MOTHER you imbecile.

Didnt realise that I thought it was great grandmother or similar in or around the time Jack Charlton was hunting but the point is HE was born and bred in Forest Gate the son of an Irish mother and Ghanian father. I believe that to qualify for a country it should be the country YOU are born in, not that it would do England cricket team any good. So I apologise for my mistake.

Not only is your order wrong, in my opinion, you also see fit to mock someone's speech defect. What a nice person you are.
