Lets face it England are 2nd rate.

It's no wonder they can't finish when one of their favourite words is buh.

I think the topic should really have read "England aspire to be 2nd rate".

Bonnie, I thought long and hard over "2nd and 3rd rate im being kind.

I gave them benefit of doubt after Italy game,but @fter Costa Rica,agree 2nd rate

Sturridge and Wellbeck are second rate.....if they had taken any of their chances we would still be involved.....Sturridge suffers from the same skillset as Pogba, Benzema, Lukaku, Soldato, Pedro, Torres, Sanchez.....all serial missers of great goal scoring opportunities. Messi, Ronaldo, Suarez are world class strikers, the Sturridges and
Wellbecks are just a joke in footballing terms at world level which is why England are back home already.

yUR A FUD BRUSH

Is FUD a Scottish word, if it is you aren't allowed to comment as Scots cant play football, btfw, I really hope you guys get independence.

ha ha ha wat book you get that from FUD BRUSH Trying tae talk like a WEEGIE

Boom Boom.....

let's kill the thread

shattit

Greece and Nigeria had mug groups and Costa Rica was a complete one off.

Roy Hodgson can't put together a defence.

How the fcuk are England supposed to win matches?

England might be 2nd rate but they did beat brazil at wembley in a friendly and got a 2-2 against them over there last year in another friendly. for whatever reason they cant do it in the competitive games. is it bottle? only the players know for sure

Hodgson spend the last 2 years playing a defensive style of football,world cup starts and decides to go all attacking why?

englands problem is that the media hype them up to be world class and the players overestimate themselves.

guys like Gerrard, rooney  and Lampard actually believe themselves to be much better that they really are.

the cold hard facts are that if you add in the 2 friendly games in Miami before the WCup.. england failed to win a single game in 5 matches, and failed to beat the mighty powerhouses of honduras and costa rica who england failed to score a single goal against .... in 5 games they scored 4 goals

the fact that roy hodgson gets to keep his job and contantly spouts all this building for the future with these bright young players nonsense means that England will fail again in euro 2016 and WC 2018

its about the here and now... not what happens in the future... the FA should be disbanded and a new organisation should take its place..

england are a laughing stock
