I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light. -

They just don't seem to work well together. I think the best player at the moment in the world is Ribery but he just couldn't perform well in a team where he's left alone all the time. Winning a tournament is not just about having the best players. You do need a big star or two but you will never have 11 stars and it's the other 9-10 players that let you win a competition and not the opposite.one day at a timeComment

Well the dust has settled on another tournament.
Am I disappointed ? No
Am I surprised ? No
Did the FA adjust everyone's expectations by appointing Roy ? Possibly, but I think he drilled the team well and made some brave decisions. Although he wasn't brave enough to sub Rooney or Young.
The england players are just that - players. They are not a team and are a long way off it.
I've been impressed with a few players - Lescott & Johnson had good tournaments. And Carroll had a good few cameos appearances
There will have to be some more pain before a new team is born. The likes of Cahill, Smalling, Jones are all in with a shout at the back.
In the middle Wiltshire has a chance and more starts from the ox.
Up top we have the likes of Sturridge to come in.
We gave the Italians too much time and never closed them down, and that was probably due to being tired. Parker/Gerrard should have been rested against Sweden but we didn't have the players to rotate.
all in all what we got was the best we could have expected.Comment

Rooney == John Barnes on the international stage ; we are a better team without him.
England must be easy to play against. The same old tired tactics that don't bring about any joy. The problem is that it is what the fans like in the domestic game and until that changes it's hard to see England changing!Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

Nothing new here.
Spain and Germany are head and shoulders above the rest. I don't see their leagues overun with cheap foriegn imports.
Yes, the EPL good for sky sports (£) and the world wide audience but for the national team...
Nothing's changing soon...
Simples.
