Italy were better than us and went for it overall..,

...we were poor but considering where we were when Capello flounced not all bad...

I think Hodgson has done ok in the few weeks we've had. Not perfect but ok...

The problem with England is the F f**king A and until they adopt a progressive attitude and more importantly implement a coherent strategy from school boy, youth, professional onwards, we'll always go out at the quarter finals because we're just not good enough...

Like Tuds just once in my lifetime I would like to see us win something but the circle of s**t won't allow that until we train our youngsters to be technically better, more tactically astute and mentally stronger...

France, Spain and Germany have achieved greatness after much soul searching and positive action and there's no reason why in 15 years we can't join them as world beaters too...
