England's players are just not as good as everyone thinks.

The English clubs do well in the champions league, where they are surrounded by many foreign players.

Time for video technology obviously aswell, the football heirarchy must just think their game is so precious that it can't be spoilt with this evil technology that other sports such as RL make good use of.

Maybe Blatter thinks it's below him.

Well at least you got the result you deserved, vvanker.

This analysis is terrible, given Ferdinand's injuries Upson and Terry have been the most common defensive partnership over the last year or so, but apparently "they've barely played together before" and it's all the fault of this "sudden switch in sides" for John Terry.

Maybe he isn't a royalist

?

Come on, it's not really a surprise we went out. We're not among the world's footballing elite and we haven't been for some time.

Well... what time's the rugby on?

5:30

Still shows a complete lack of respect and passion for his country though IMO.

Tell me one game Gerrard and Lampard have played well together

Why is Gerrard playing on the left when he is so effective in the middle.

Carrick is a quality player with a great passing range yet never looked like playing

Downing a natural left footer, played well all season not picked to even go.

Terry's form has been shocking the last few months, Upson hmmmm no pace, Johnson, why he's been picked i don't know.

Up front i would have gone with Defoe and Crouch, they've got a great understanding at Spurs

Not remember the last world cup, can you blame him ?
