I don't care about goalies and highly doubtful/debatable Dempsey is starting over Lampard, Gerrard, Wilshere, Walcott, Ox, Cleverley in the midfield.
No team gets by more on reputation than England. There has been nothing special about any of their recent teams and the vast majority of players I've seen in recent years.

Michael Bradley is more than good enough to start for England.
In front of whom? Gerrard, Lampard, Wilshire, Milner, Ox. No, no, no, no, and no.

Probably true. But they still have wayyy more talent than we do. We don't have a player that would get on the field for England, outside of Cakes and maybe Howard. Hart is just as good or better than Timmy though, and younger.

Actually the other poster had it more accurately. No team gets unjustly blasted as much as England.

Nothing special no but they are perennial knockout round participants in almost every major tournament. Further, if they had even a half decent penalty record they would be one of the more successful clubs of the last 20-25 years.

Maybe but even still, and this really proves my initial point in this thread, Dempsey or Donovan still aren't starting in that midfield.
