All of England players play one of the biggest, high speed and big money league in the world.
All players are individually world class in their own rights, yet every tournament Sami Finals or quarter finals is Achievements according to some of the UK Media.

Do you thing players are psychology damaged by the media, their clubs?
Do you think the pressure of “don’t Screw up” get to them and make them fail?

Why do you think in penalties England players fail to take advantage?


Today for example, the media putting pressure on the team and predicting what the fans would do against Ashley Cole.

Only my opinion!!!
 
We're a nation of 53 million people who've been playing football for a long time but who didn't enter international tournaments until quite late. We've won the World Cup once and regularly reach the last 8 of tournaments. We don't under-perform.

Certain other countries, like Germany and Italy, have historically over-performed.

are you saying team like England Last 8 is enough for 53 Million fans?
 
England don't underperform, they perform to their level ie. last 8.

We only think they underperform because they are massively overhyped.

if their level is last 8 and you know it, why before a big tournament people say "this is England's year"
 
When you say people what you actually mean is the media and brainwashed sheep.

so if the media stop pressuring the team, then maybe perhaps Big Final might be on the cards?

these players are players who are on big money, and we watch them every week and they perform 100%, but not for England.

John terry was asked Champions league with Chelsea or Euro with England?

what was hes answer?

France: 65m

Netherlands: 17m

I'd say the Dutch over perform.

It pretty much boils down to how many people you have actively playing the game.

please answer, Are you happy with last 8 every tournament? i am sure is not about the amount of fans, is how players are developed, specially mentally.

England players play against a team,its fans, and the media, and one mistake they are out of the team.
 
Based on current form...

---------------Hart---------------
Johnson--Cahill--Jagielka--Baines
--------------Carrick--------------
------Cleverley----Wilshere------
Walcott------Rooney------Sturridge

On current form I guess Lampard has an argument to still be included and if Gerrard continues to play like he did against City (big if) then he likewise, it's definitely and either or situation though, under no circumstances can you play the 2 of them even with an extra man in there. I guess Cleverley would be the most likely to move out if you brought either in.
