here's where some of England problems start, where

the likes of Lampard Gerrard and Beckham become that wedged into a side that uproar kicks off when one is substituted

So something needs to happen, its just a shame that the penny has dropped 2 years on from Portugal. Although England are in an easy group for qualification and will qualify, the last 2 years have been wasted in terms of what is best for England

I've been laughed at and mocked for my views about Gerrard not being the player he is for Liverpool for England, I have also been mocked for saying James isn't half as bad as made out, and others should shoulder blame

I also took a huge piss take when I said someone like Joe Cole should play more often after Englands loss in 2004

A lot think I do it for a wind up, mainly because it goes against the standard thinking of the average fan, but so many things stick out like a sore thumb for England when I see them. But just like Saturday, I talked to people afterwards and saw comments on here like it was a good performance

So I kind of give in really, I might join the "england have a great chance of winning in germany" gang, its so much easier, then when they lose I could spout a load of crap and blame it on a player that doesn't deserve it
