ponsaelius Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I look at the countries around us, including France and think that generally we're better off. TBF you've got a point. Spain, Germany and Italy are a fair way ahead of the rest in Europe currently. England, France, whoever are all much of a muchness and would probably get turned over by any of the above more often than not. If England were playing a major tournament knock-out game against one of the countries in the category down from those 3 (say France, Netherlands, Portugal) I'd fancy us to crash out every time regardless of the team strength.

Tooj Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I think France have a much better squad than ours, yet as always they just can't get them to gel as a team due to personality clashes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 If England won the WC I might celebrate it down the pub. When Newcastle win a trophy, 7 day long piss up for me. That's the contrast for me. wew Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I think France have a much better squad than ours, yet as always they just can't get them to gel as a team due to personality clashes.

Better depth perhaps but I look at their first Xl and ours and I think ours is comfortably better. Combined "fit" English/France XI for me would be - Lloris (think he's better than Hart but will get a load of shit for saying so) Debuchy Varane Sakho Cole Ribery Cabaye Matuidi Wilshere Rooney Benzama Of course there's room for a fully fit Hatem when he proves himself.
