Thanjk you.

Would love a Robbo assist or goal... not watching it but I bet Kane’s been totally anonymous. Can’t watch England with this group of players... ****e bunch.
Is there a country which so consistently performs at so much less than the sum of the it's parts more than England?
Decades worth of talent squandered with mainly terrible tournament football.
You can blame Southgate I suppose for this team, but he's following in some illustrious footsteps.
Venables and Robson almost cracked it, but even their performances were patchy at best.
It's so weird.
Do you reckon we do underperform though? Very few English players end up in other leagues, and how often are the best players picked through the award systems English, given how many play in the english leagues. And if you look at the English premiership, how many of the best players are actually English at team level? Not enough I would say. Maybe this is our level.

You could argue in terms of WC performance Southgate almost cracked it too, the semi final made him England's (joint) second most successful manager in a WC
... I mean the team still played ****e and were rather lucky in that WC but still
The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.

Primarily, they don’t end up in other leagues because the PL has the most money and clubs in England pay a premium for them in wages. They can earn more in the championship then in most top leagues in Europe.
