During the Euro 2008, England is where they deserve to be as a second rate soccer-playing nation: at home watching.
They have a great following and a league with teams that are great at buying and fielding alot of foreigners. But when the National Team must play with English players? Not good technically or tactically. So, that's players and coaches. (Let me add the EPL is good at buying good foreign coaches as well).
"Golden Generation" is a fraudulent term for these England players. What have they done? NOTHING! Their foreign-laiden club teams are OK but not because of them.
Since 1966, England has ONE World Cup semifinal and ONE Euro semifinal. And, missed MULTIPLE World Cups. Name a real soccer country with a resume that bad. You can't.
America, please get off the English and start idolizing a real soccer-playing country. Those accents your hear in the U.S. mean nothing....unless they are Italian, Brazilian or Argentinian.
