Maybe we're just not very good.

The group of players England has are extreamly good, in fact its probally the strongest group we have had for a long time (although would have been even stronger if Sven hadnt wasted spaces on the likes of Theo Walcott) and if we played to the strengths of these players we would do well. Its the defensive tactics that we are adopting with players whom are being picked largely on how famous they are rather than whos best in the required position thats our downfall.
