I'm not sure about the players not being good enough (apart from the lack of strikers), but you're right, there is definitely something about the set-up over here that fecks up our national side.
Fair enough, the talent does exist but is trained in the wrong way. France's recent success is no accident - in the 80s they overhauled their academy system with the results we have seen in the last few years. It took 10-15 years before the new players fed through the system. It will take nothing less to achieve the same results here.
This is a typical example of "informed" opinion from the masses.
Gerrard was great last night, but in the more difficult Israel game the stats show Lampard was more successful at each of passing, tackling and creating chances than he was.
You can play one or the other, but not both it seems.

Aye as I pointed out elsewhere. It seems most "fans" just listen to what they are told in the media, rather than thinking for themselves.
What say you and I take over as joint national managers? I'll perform the Venables role and you can take the flak
