The reality is they're just not that talented.


The reality is, yes they are. All of these unalented players you speak of are starters for some of the best club teams in the world. United, City, Chelsea, Arsenal, etc don't just hand out starting spots based on a player being English.

I'm just telling the truth about England which, for some reason, so many are unable or unwilling to see.


You're a little late to the party. This maybe used to be the case. It seems recently though, that England is the en vogue team to shite on. The reality is that they are very, very good. Just because they aren't on par with the 3 or 4 best national teams in the world doesn't mean they are crap.

Saying England isn't on par with the top 3 or 4 national teams is like saying Virginia Tech isn't on par with Alabama in football.

They're not untalented. Just overrated individually and vastly overrated as a unit.
