Just because they haven't made it to the semis or finals at the WC or Euros, doesn't mean they haven't been legitimate contenders. They have been beaten by better teams. Germany, Argentina, Portugal, Italy, etc. I don't know this for a fact, but I don't think they have been favored to win any of the matches they have lost at a major tournament.
I'm sorry, but don't you think the fact that they always run into a better team before reaching the semifinals is a glaring indicator that they're not a legitimate contender?

I mean, your argument is ridiculous. Argentina haven't reached the final four in over 20 years.
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.
