The modern group are a good core of players but its not Spain 2010, Brazil 02 or France 98 levels good. The idea England 'should' be winning the World Cup is a sick joke. Especially when you cycle through the French and Brazil squads. England are certainly one of the better teams, but I wouldnt place Englands chances above Spain, Netherlands, Argentina, Germany, Belgium, Portugal.
Italy are a great side, the European champions. It was a 1-0 away defeat in Italy. I mean, do England fans honestly think 'this' England team is some sort of sensational national team?
