What teams in Europe are technically worse than England ? Faroe Islands ?? Lichtenstein ?? Northern Ireland ?? Scotland ?? I think Wales are technically better than England - look at the football they played at Wembley against England, England created the chances but Wales kept the ball better. The way I look at England is like this; they have very big and very sharp teeth, a strong body, but the tiniest pea sized brain trying to control the thing.
Lol, don't hold back. But i have to agree, they have the worst ball retention of any top European side bar none. Even Sweden was passing it around them, like they were San Marino. Bloomin Sweden out played them, what does that tell you. It doesn't help when you have the deluded media making "Rooney is the saviour" stories either. The truth is, they were lucky to get out of an ordinary group, and a miracle they won it. They play boring, uninspiring football, with little or no creativity or trickery. They will continue to play in such a way unless the FA makes some big changes...
