   I'm not English. Its just mindblowing to me they weren't able to get this squad working properly.

   Just imagine this:

   Neville, Ferdinand, Terry, Cole

   Lampard, Carrick, Gerrard

   Beckham, Rooney, Owen

   I think a counterstyle would fit them the best. With Cole making runs forward, Owen cutting from the right into pockets of space created by Rooney/Gerrard. Beckham slinging that ball into the box. Carrick in there to balance Lampard and Gerrard out. If you can play with Odegaard and Havertz in an Arsenal midfield with Partey or Rice or Jorginho behind them, then you can surely make this outstanding Lampard, Carrick and Gerrard midfield work.

   Rooney can also drop like a false 9, with Owen taking advantage of that. With Lampard and Gerrard even being able to take advantage of that. Beckham can also drop to a midfield position when Lampard steams ahead.

   1. Not playing carick.

   2. Not using Scholes as a type of quarterback.

   3. Not utilising Ashley Cole further forward as the only left footed player.

   Honorary mention of lampard sometimes bring dropped as Gérard was better.

   P.s . Keep your hands off 😍 asian babes such as fariah facial Alam.

   Carragher trying to push the reason he missed his penalty on Robinson suggesting he wasn't a good keeper; when the reality is Jamie was a bottlejob and didn't rise to the occasion.

   Svens big mistake was picking Darius vessell, 14 year career 331 and just 62 goals, should never have got near the England squad never mind making the Euros in 04, when Rooney went off on the quarters and he came on it was over for us,never going to score.

   England fans are way too harsh on Sven. Before he joined, England were struggling to qualify for the 2002 World Cup, he took them to the quarter final where they lost to eventual winners Brazil, took them to the quarter finals in Euro 2004 and World Cup 2006 where they lost to a good Portugal side twice on penalties. Immediately after he left England failed to qualify for Euro 2008. He was a good manager, the players just weren't good enough.

   17yrs on from this generation of players but it’s still the same issue plaguing England teams; pressure. Harry Kane with his 2nd penalty against France was like watching Chris Waddle at the 1990 World Cup. The penalty shootout against Italy at Euro 2020… how did Rashford miss? Until England sides can handle pressure better against good teams, they will always get beat in games of fine margins.

   His big mistake was using 90s 4-4-2 tactics with new 5 man midfield ones.

    The Golden generation failed because in all honesty they weren't golden…England fans and media have a propensity to overhype and overrate their own average players as world class…..Yes hopeless managers haven't helped but usually more talented teams have knocked them out of tournaments. Perspective is needed.

    The midfield should have consisted
    Scholes, lampard , Gerrard, Beckham

    What a midfield it would have been

    He's quite right. England didn't do well in that world cup because of his insistence of playing Rooney up front on his own. Well done.

    Its simple they never had the talent to win the world cup, other teams were always better than them once they reached the quarter finals. Their abilities were over rated by themselves and the English public. In other interviews players have admitted there were premier league club clicks within world cup squads. You can' t win a world cup with clicky groups you need a team that is one. Rio Ferdinand stated that on paper they had the best midfield in the world for the 2006 cup,, no they did not. 4-6 other teams had better players ……..not to mention better penalty takers and goalkeepers.

    England's mistake in penalties is not picking the best goal scorers to take penalties. Relying on volunteers like central defenders or defensive midfielders doesn't make sense.

    It's all about the coach…. Look at spain from 2008-2012 el classico they look to kill each other but for Spain the work as a team…. It's all due to Del Bosque

    God alone knows what Sven Erikson was thinking

    Sven had the best England team ever in my opinion could have and should have won trophies, plural they had the quality but they couldn't put club rivalries aside for the white shirt, simple as that

    England lack belief – that's why they don't win.
    They are not as technically good as France, Italy, Spain, Brazil, Germany, Argentina.
    Even in the Euro 2020, the team just parked the bus after going 1:0 up because they knew they were not good enough.

    The biggest mistake Sven made was to not take me to the world cup.

    I had a amazing scoring record at that time playing in the sunday league!!

    Ok no Premier league experience but surely better then Theo Walcott 🤣🤣

    How many of the teams in the last 8 were England actually better than? Definitely not France, definitely not Italy, definitely not Germany. Not Brazil. Probably not Spain. Probably not Argentina. Portugal were on their way down with a lot of their legends retiring from the national team in the next couple of years after that tournament and England still couldn't beat them. England will always be overrated and failures on the international stage.
