good point, tho is it really a big deal to beat england nowadayws, seriously we beat em 3-1 in a friendly couple years back...i think the thing with the poms is they think they still are the best in the world, when they clearly are not, they are at best an average international team that hype up their players, ppl talk bout how shit it was with sven, but he did wonders with the limited amount of players he had at disposal, i mean englands striking, right midfield, left mid departments are barren. their tactics are outdated and just wrong, 4-4-2 may work in premiership, but not always internationals, the thing is the in the epl they all basically play 4-4-2, with the exception of arsenal, chelsea and occasionally man utd, so english players have a tough time adapting..
Not to mention the only reason the epl is as good as it is is due to the foreign imports, i mean where are the world class players coming through, if all they got is rooney and walcott, then they are in serious trouble. If we thought the socceroos sqaud was limited, england are in a very similar position. in 5 or so years lampard, ferdinand, neville, gerrard, terry will be past their peak, so who will step in?
