If England made an effort to naturalize good foreign players in their league they would be a better team imo

Walcott would have put one past the glacier Iceland boys

Also lol Roy tried to draft Gibbs at the last minute but he was on holiday. Probably would have done a better job than Rose.

England is basically at the level of Portugal and Croatia. Could pull out a win against a top team but will sooner choke and collapse

This tournament proves that with organisation and team spirit a team can get pretty far with championship players. I think maybe we brought too many flair players along when you just need a couple. Mark Noble to lead the line in the world cup qualifiers this autumn.
Are you kidding, England had like a single flair player (Sterling). Everybody else were fairly conventional forwards and midfielders.

Lump it forward and defend for 90 minutes is a tried and true strategy. Not even half-joking that Allardyce would be a good England manager. The problem is England thinks it's better than this sort of tactic and it's not.

I thought Carragher was a pretty smart dude but that article's a load of drivel. Surely he didn't write that. Jesus christ.

Big Sam's fault IMO. PowerPoint is boring. Bring on iPads and VR headsets. England needs a modern man.
