The Champions League for the past few years gives solid evidence that the Premiership boasts the best clubs in the world at the moment, and the starting line up for England is a huge part of that. What would Liverpool have done for the past 5 years with no Steven Gerrard? Or Chelsea without Terry, Lampard, Cole, etc. I think there were 10 English players in the Champions League final this year, contested between two English clubs. The problem is getting these players to perform together in a team they only spend a few days with before each match. As for this tournament, there has been some great football, Spain look fantastic (but then again they often do in the early stages), The Dutch look almost unstoppable at times, but there has also been some very uninspiring play, you must have missed Italy and France's attempts against Romania the way you're showering praise on the football on show. Personally I'm watching some good football and enjoying it, but not half as much as I would if I cared about the outcome.

Would fit snugly into the effective substitute role in the Netherlands Outfit.. You agree? Hey,

Also the England team must shake off the arrogance, its along time since they won the World Cup and the way football on this planet is played has changed so much. Many people (including Sven) thought that when the qalifiers for Euro 2008 were made, that the England team would easily qualify, but there was a minority who thought that it wouldnt be so easy and it proved to be the case. If England still have the attitude that they will easily qualify for the World cup in SA then sadly for them, they won't.

Romania went for it vs Italy and Sweden as well as Ibrahimovich also have the skilful Kallstrom, both Larssons and when fit,the pacy Wilhelmsson.
