France - Disgraceful behaviour

[tomtomagain]

I'd pick the team from the Championship. They'd have had more games and be hungrier to prove themselves.

[Hobosapien]

Bunch of overpaid, pampered, chunts who have no idea of team play

True contractors.

[barrydidit]

For England to become a half decent team they need to have more of their players playing at a top level and they need to have players who are proud and honoured to play for their country.
Too much money in the game.

Majority play for mid table teams at best. I'd say giving a tulip is the more important factor.

Giving a tulip is the number one attribute they need - the desire and pride to keep running and fighting for every ball when it would be easier to give up - I did not see that attitude from an England player at all.....

[BrilloPad]

The problem is they have all been tulip for as long as I can remember

Individually they are great.

Their pay must be linked to England performance.

People quote 1966 as last time England were good, but they did wonderfully in Mexico in 1970. Without that food bug they would have won.

It was 1974 against Poland that did for us. Their goalkeeper was described as a clown. Well look who is laughing now.....

[Hobosapien]

It is no coincidence that England's performance has been in decline since 1973 when the UK joined the EU.

Wales winning Euro 2016 will put an end to the curse, and we'll be out of the EU shortly after.

[SueEllen]

Wales != England.

It is an insult to any home nation to state that they are the same.

England's performance has been in decline since 1966, just cause it doesn't suit your argument doesn't make it false.

All still part of the UK so my theory still stands.

You are lucky you aren't with the likes of the CUK Welsh, NI and Scottish contingents in person particularly the Scottish lot.
