Played well in the euros for the same reason Crouch got a hat trick today

Because Owen was man marked double as the threat

When rooney became the sure fire danger, he was man marked double and owen score in an important situation

Portugal weren't a team to lose against, Greece beat them first game of the season and then beat them in the final. Greece proved how weak the comp was. We could have beaten portugal but everytime we gained an advantage England sat back and waited for them to come back at them

Euro 2004 could have been Englands without a doubt, but the lack of possession accounted for why they weren't good enough. It was the first time it was blatently obvious Gerrard and Lampard couldn't play together. The fact you nail P neville with all the blame, semi explains why England won't look to drop either of Lampard or Gerrard, because both are so popular and dropping one would lead to criticism accross the board

Instead, blame it on the lesser known star when the whole team are to blame
