Just for your record. It’s hilarious when BBC/Sky Sports just shut up and stop their hype machines. But sincerely, I do hope players like Jack Wilshere will save Three Lions from further embarrassment in 2014.

Nevertheless, the row about the goal that wasn’t will do nothing but take away from the real issue which is that England were fucking shit. We’ll hear this and that about foreign players and foreign managers but it all boils down to the same problem that football in these islands has had for years - foreign players are far, far better technically. They learn a different game as kids, they’re not stuck on a full sized 11-a-side pitch at 9 years of age and told that passion and spirit are what will win games. They learn to pass, control the ball, move off the ball, retain possession, slow things down and not do everything at 100mph. Technical ability counts at this level, having players who don’t think they’re the best in the world is a good thing too. The BBC commentator who said “You look at this German team and think about who would get in the England team and you have maybe 1 player” summed it all up. I mean, seriously. How about 11?
