John Terry, Ledley King, Michael Owen, Wayne Rooney...any questions?
Your right these are good players.
Now lets looks at Italy, Spain, heck even the US has a solid defence and they have at least 4 or 5 strikers that can produce. What I mean is England doesn not have a stable lineup. Some of these guys dont step up when the pressure is on. Lets be honest and agree that their qualifying group wasnt as hard as the first group. I would like to see England reach semis or if not the finals because the past 2 world cups they have done very well and are in form to reach the finals, but from the way they play to the formation of the lineup I dont see them really excelling.
