If we were that good and it was management and tactics etc, then maybe we'd have only beaten Algeria (who haven't been in the world cup for 24 years and who's captain had never been in an international tornament) by 4 nil and not 5 nil. Not had a goaless draw

Massive hype job... everytime round... ignore the papers...

No ammount of changes is going to have us beating Brazil, Spain, France, Argentinia etc. no fucking chance.

That's why I loved it when Newcastle went down... all these dick heads blaming the club owners and saying that Newcastle were a slumbering giant... as big as Chelsea etc... fuck off
To be fair they've looked awful this year. Worse than England IMO.
