I KNOW England are below average that's my whole point about why it's silly to be critical or doom and gloom when we spank 27th in the world, and I'm not entirely convinced we should do better.
I think Englands problem is that we under rate the importance of certain footballing attributes and it means that teams who "on paper" should be poorer than us can in fact make us look very ordinary. In other words, our players aren't as good as our media, managers, coaches and fans think they are.
In terms of the quality of our national team we are reaping what we sowed for the last 30 years and are exactly where we deserve to be.
Credit where credit is due - that is some top quality goalpost shifting.

The problem I had is not that you were saying it England was shit, but that you were saying that and implying we should be winning comfortably anyway.
"oh we are so shit, they are so shit why aren't we winning"
Maybe it was because we are shit.
In the end we won.
"Yeh but it's only Montengro"
But I thought we were shit?
