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

There has been nothing special about any of their recent teams
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.

They get the criticism they deserve. If England could come to grips with the fact that they are no longer a threat to win anything, they wouldn't get shredded. I can't remember anything prior to 1998, but since then, the 2002 team was the only team that could be considered a legitimate contender, period.
