England should've progressed in 82, they had a decent side, but again, underperformed, and again in 86 underperformed, be had a far better side in 86 than we have now, but for a cheating drug fiend, it might've been a whole lot different. 1990 we played to our potential, and were again unlucky.
Yesterday, we were woeful, Gerrard and Henderson are average, we need a midfield maestro a la Pirlo, Gerrard ain't it, never has been, why Hodgson played both again is beyond me! We lost the Italy game, so why continue with a team that lost?
A work in progress yes, but get rid of the old wood, England are soft in the middle, playing the midfield pairing of a team that had one of the worst defensive records was a master stroke, while Milner, MR dependable, from a team that had one of the best defences, hasn't had a minute of game time, is fresh, and fit..... Figure that one out for me Roy?
No, we are shit, like a smartie left in the sun, crispy on the outside, but put any pressure on us, and we implode.
That Rooney has only score 1 WC goal is pathetic, underperformers to a man, bar Cahill, Sterling, Sturridge, I hope Hodgson plays a more progressive side and we now out looking to the future, not pandering to the past.
