accountantpete said:Good news - most of the players are well past their best and in the case of Gerrard and Lampard have never shone for England like they do for Liverpool and Chelsea.
Smokin Joe said:Booting Terry out would be a good start. He's well past his sell-by date and the cause of ill feeling in the squad.
PaulB said:Down the years there were the likes of Johnny Barnes for instance who always played well for his club and therefore was an automatic choice in an England shirt, and then looked like a fish out of water when he wore one.
Rebel Ian said:Apart from scoring arguably the greatest goal England have ever scored and ripping the Argentinian defence to pieces in 1986 when he was given 10 minutes at the end of the game!! Other than that, what have the Romans done for us
mangaman said:I can't argue with either of those comments Ian, but he played 79 games and scored 12 goals for England. He was an unbelievable player I remember during his pomp at Liverpool.
For England the goal against Brazil in a friendly and 10 minutes against Argentina in 1986 are a disappointing international career for a guy who week in/week out was one of the best players in the league.
I can't remember him doing anything much else at all for England?
Paulus said:As Capello won every competition that as a manager his teams entered, does that mean that he instantly became a bad manager when he took over the England national team?
