It's a bit what I witnessed over the period.
Tbh, we always laughed a bit about England in Spain back in our golden years around 2006-2012.
You had really talented and good individual players with players like Gerrard, Lampard, Ferdinand, Rooney, Terry, Beckham etc., but could never made this work as a group, a bit like Germany since 2018. I know you hate being compared to them.
This generation now is even more talented, ended up with 1 final, 2x semis, 1x quarter, missing that title you've been longing for since 66.
