To be honest, England haven't been any good this century. The last decent team was 2000. Gone are the days when we attacked with pace, defended with heart (and not shirt tugging) and had people who were among the best in the world in their position. We haven't had a decent dead ball taker since Beckham and nobody to score from midfield consistently since Lamps, Gerrard and Scholes. Had no decent CB for ages and we don't possess a world class striker. There is nobody who walks out on the pitch in an England shirt that other teams are worried about anymore. Sad days.
