England are always disappointing. We've been mediocre for years. Not exactly full of world class players at the moment.
Attacking wise we are decent right now dont you think? sturridge, rooney (although maybe he is past his best), sterling (too soon maybe)
If we had a younger terry, ferdinand and ashley cole all playing at the back we would have a good shot at winning this world cup.
Who is any good as a whole team right now? maybe germany thats about it? Mexico & Chile look about as good as anyone else beyond germany. Brazil have home advantage, Argentina could play good or bad.
Those strikers are good, but we can't just rely on them and they've not been getting the results. That was Rooney's first goal in the World Cups. His header that hit the bar was unfortunate though. Getting two goals in that game would probably give him a lot of confidence.
And we were never that good when we had the younger versions of Ferdinand, Cole, Terry etc though that was a solid defense. Better than we was now for sure, but never a world class team. This squad is pretty young so give them a few years and see where we're at for the next Cup. Hopefully we'll have a few new fresh faces by then as well.
. Would be interesting to see how they fair against some of the other big teams, especially since some of them have hardly been amazing as well.
