England

Someone suggested in another thread I could try watching England (at risk of boredom) because I'm missing seeing Darlo during the close season.
So I did.
And the French hammered us 3-2 even though they were down to 10 men (nine at one point and we still couldn't stick one in).
England are masters at passing the ball round in their own half; how fantastic.
Sideways, backwards, anywhere but forwards.
Can't defend, never could.
4-2 or 5-2 would have been a more realistic score.
Why is it that teams like Iceland give better performances?
One thing's sure; if we qualify for the World Cup which starts a year tomorrow, we will just be there briefly to make up the numbers before we're on the next flight home. The usual teams will show us how it's done.
So embarassing. We're as bad at Internationals as we are at Eurovision.
Perhaps we should have a system where England are represented by non- Premier League players? They might play with some purpose and ambition; they couldn't do worse.
