Why couldn't they win anything Sup Forums?

>English
>"""""Midfielders""""""
That's why

Seems like Ashley Cole is doing the ol' tippy toes

lost to Portual on penalties (2004 Euros and 2006 WC), anyone can lose on penalties, it's 95% luck

who knows, maybe they could have won the Euros and the world cup, they weren't that bad

>A German telling England penalties are 95% luck
Well played Hans

Sol Campbell.

I don't care what anyone says, this was a GOAT team. I was unironically cheering for them in 2004.

because they played 4 4 2 while using 3 CMs

they should have gone 4 2 3 1 with lamps and scholes as CMs, gerrard as AM, becks on the right, rppny on the left, and owen as a lone striker.

Both Owen and Rooney were manlets so they had to keep playing Emile Heskey

It's England

Ego, WAGs, Horrible Media.

Being English.

there were several better teams.

4231 wasn't used up until 3/4 years ago. It was all 442 or 433. Also Lamps AM and Gerrard DM. Lamps more goals and assists than Gerrard.

Italy played mostly with 4231 in 2006

they played in 5-5 during final

you mean (5-4)?

That's always England's problem we try imitate what other countries do 5 years later. Instead of playing to our strengths. We should be playing 442 hoof ball with Andy Carroll and Harry Kane up top

Midfield wasn't balanced enough. We had two slow wingers and two attacking midfielders playing CM. Mediocre GK too.

>We should be playing 442 hoof ball with Andy Carroll and Harry Kane up top
that's how everyone should play desu

Bad luck, average managers and not sacrificing gerrard and rooney who never played well in major tournaments (except for 2004 when rooney actually played well)

Under big Sam this will become a reality
>ITS COMING HOME

>tfw Based Mark Noble will finally get his chance

Mark noble will inally be exposed at half decent level, instead of playing for a club where only his positive games are reported on giving the illusion that he's quite good (same thing payet benefits from)

would do better than Woy's team tbqhwy

>Gerrard
>being trusted to play as a proper midfielder

He had to play as an attacking midfielder or not at all.

>that pic

They can't even get themselves to stay in a neat position for the before-the-match photo

I would prefer not at all
