I think chemistry is one problem, but I think the hard fact is that the players are simply not that good. They have zero creativity... In my opinion, most of their good performances at club level are due to the ton of creative foreign players all around them. I think the only genuinely very good players in the team are Rooney, Gerrard and Cole. The rest are simply decent.

But, you know what will happen after the tournament - Capello will catch a sh*tstorm and possibly get sacked, and excuses like 'fatigue' and 'over training' will come to light too. Anything but accept that they simply have sub-par talent at the moment. Then the hype will begin again for Euro 2012, and I'll find myself more than likely writing this message again.

Would it ever occur to anyone that Algeria are basically just as good as England (talent wise) at the moment? Same goes for the USA.
Well for all the 3-0, 4-0, 5-0 talk for England before both the US and Algeria games, I think your point is definitely proven. Tons of hype, if they don't make it out of the group round (which is a possibility) I'm just going to sit back and laugh. Seriously I've never heard so much hype for a team.
