re my exchange below with mr carra about England's lack of midfield talent

Germany are playing Kroos, Khedira and Ozil as their central midfield three. Jesus. (And likewise Spain had Iniesta, Fabregas, Busquets and Silva.)

Compare those kinds of midfields with our options - that's why we're not at the top level.
