Thats good that is.
Both them and the Belgians showing the impact of a clear strategy for youth development and national set up.

People in England say the care about international football, but I don't think they really do. It's all about the clubs.

I put it all down to the fact that Gerrard was crap..........

Those 3 words should be printed on England shirts. Just below the 3 lions.

We played well enough to get out of that group. 2 players were the difference; Pirlo and Suarez.

Yeah but we knew they would be the difference Hodgson had 9months to think of a way to combat them at £3.5million a year it's not too much to ask for some sort of game plan.

Uruguay had one against us they targeted Gerrard and Cavani bullied him all match.

The PL is the most powerful driver in English football. That means club football takes precedence over International. Whilst thats the case things won't change.

Reduce foreign players by 25% and there's strength and depth with 5 years.

I would have thought the recent performances should have done that.

It was Hodgson.

If one opposition player wins the game without any real moment of 'magic' then it suggests you haven't played well enough IMO.

I can't believe Hodgson isn't being replaced after finishing bottom of the group, shows how low our expectations really are.
