Its not about the winning...

Its about the fact that people seem to accept that international football needs to be played in a style that our players are incapable of playing.

England have some great players. Not the best in the world or even in Europe but good enough to play to their own strengths.

The national side should represent all that is great about English football but they only seem interested in handicapping themselves by playing in "international style".
