You're trying to be smarter than you actually are. Nobody is arguing that the English team is reaching the pinnacle of success, but that doesn't change the fact that their best 11 is better across the board than ours is.

Howard, Donovan, Dempsey and Bradley are the only players who would currently challenge for a place. Howard is the only one who could legitimately start in the WC for them and arguably be an improvement over the current player in that spot.

I'll admit they're more talented as a unit, but people make the gap out to be enormous and it's just ridiculous. Look at how qualifying is going for England right now. Their group is weaker than the Hex.
