Not getting into drawing up lists m8 as I will just take solace in the fact that you lot will get pumped by someone at sometime in the Finals.
The problem is that you all listen to the hype about "the greatest league in the world" but seem to forget that it is made up almost entirely of foreign players and the individual English players are massively overrated by the media.
Gerrard, Ferdinand & Rooney are fair players but apart from those three the rest aint special.
Look at Italy, Brazil, Argentina, Germany, Holland, Spain. These are the pedigree teams of world football and England don't even come close to getting into that elite group at present.
They are always quoted as one of the tournament favourites because it's the money that's pumped on them in this country that puts them in that position! If you were to look at the betting in a neutral country they wouldn't be that high up the list.
Even that one time (outwith '66) that you made it to the semi's you were outplayed in the quarter finals by Cameroon but were "given" two penalties. One to save your asses 7mins from time and the other in extra time.
If I were you guys I wouldn't get too confident just yet. But then again you always do and that's what makes it even funnier.
