Nice to see some people still fall for hype.

Gerrard and Lampard have about as much football intelligence between them as Scholes' pinky toe. They are not midfield players they are final 3rd players.

Cole is a good defensive leftback but contributes little to the attack besides running down blind alleys and wayward crossing.

Beckham is a 1 -dimensional crosses, won't even touch Hargreaves for fear of sparking a 20 page thread.

Owen is a 1 dimensional forward who needs a bigger man to give him space to score and if Owen is not scoring he is doing nothing for the team.

I wish someone in the press would tell England they are not as good as they think they are.
