I agree with that Bilbo.

The media in england hype up the players so much that everyone expects them to be world beaters. The reality is that england have one top defender (Rio) one top midfielder (Gerrard) and one top striker (Rooney).

Now Gerrard is playing piss for england and that hurts the team alot. There is alot of decent players but they are all so simelar that the team ends up with no blend. Only player with creative spark or ability to skin a man is joe cole. The rest of the wingers are average at best.

Bringing in Capello is not going to make the players better. Capello is not a total football advocator, he is a successful manager who cares not for the manor in victory but for the victory.

Another major factor is that England are no longer a team to be feared, people no longer hold the same respect.
