england is a good team with a lot of professional players however when it comes to the world cup or euro cup they loose because they do'nt work as a team. they dont pass the ball or work as a team

i think why england team loses mostly in the quarter finals is because of bad luck and also they think they had finished their job by reaching quarterfinals. i feel so sorry for england especially when they lose a match like that

I doubt they can win the world cup or european cup and it's not just because I'm Scottish. It's just they do not have enough talented players partly because of the huge numbers of foreign players playing in England. There were only 37 per cent English players playing in the league last season compared to 70 per cent in the Italian league. Unless something changes which I doubt as everyone wants to see the international superstars at the big clubs and they have no interest in encouraging football at any level but their own.

dont think you are old enough to remember when the original fine fare premier lge was set up in scotland.if you look back it was a couple of years after that that scotland really started to struggle.rangers/celtic spent big money on non scots and left to many home grown players in the wilderness.think the same thing is happening down here and i voiced that to a few at work when the epl was set up and they laughed.think i am now being proved right. P.S.i am a scot also but live in england.

You're right I don't remember the fine fare premier lge but I can see a change here in Scotland as most of the SPL teams are looking to raising their own players. There has been an improvement in the national team as a result. Bet it feels good to be proved right to your English colleagues.

yes that was brought on by the sfa saying that all first tean squads had to have at least 3(i think)u/21from their own academy selected with all match day squads.they dont have to play but they have to be involved on the bench minimum.this has been going for approx 3 yrs so it is only now that we are starting to see some benefits.

in some respects i agree with foxfire that they dont have the players.i think they have to many players in the past who felt that they had a right to be in the team because of the club form.but as we have seen this is not always they case.when you look at the squad on paper you cant really see them struggle.but for some reason they fail to produce the club form or even play like a team when they do come up against the harder teams at the quarter final stage this poor form gets found out.

It's a bit ironic that the England soccer team, although always considered one of the toughest in any competition they take part in, only has one trophy to boast with on the World Cup and European Cup stages. Oftentimes, the England soccer team was compared to the Spanish one, who always had enormously talented players in the squad, but didn't get a lot of silverware in its century-old existence. But the English fans sob over this fact enough as it is, so let's leave that part of England's soccer team behind and focus on its good parts. Like I said earlier, it's still a tough competitor in any competition, but somehow it seems luck always runs out for them when needed the most.
