England have consistantly played poorly all throughout this tournament. They have shown their true "talent" and let us all down. Unfortunately when our game is dominated by foreign suprstars, the real English talent goes unnoticed. The F.A have to continue to support developing young home grown talent if we are to hold our own against the best footballing countries. We've shown just how poor we are at this world cup at our own game. A real pitty, but you have to bite the bullet and say we're just not good enough at present. 

Can't wait to see some proper football played at York Street.

Blame ourselves. We more than any nation in Europe (or the world for that matter) are prepared to keep paying for extortionate season ticket prices and Sky TV subscriptions. This in turn makes the Clubs 'rich' and we then get all the foreigners over. It's simple.

I wouldnt say we are a bad side, we eased through the qualification rounds untroubled, its just the players couldnt live up to the hype and expectation, and looked burnt out.

We can beat anyone on our day, its just our day doesnt happen in world cups.

Man U fan alert, i think you have seriously overestimated Neville and Browns talent there mate.

[Pilgrim86]

Neville should have gone, IMO. After Johnson, who is the best English right back?

Carragher? Laughable.

[O CHO MEALLT]

There's more wrong at Premiership level than just foreign players.The whole lot are overpaid and over-hyped.When it all comes down to it,ask any fan of a premiership club which they would prefer,the national team successful,or their club successful,we all know which they would choose.I just thank God we'll soon be back at York Street for some proper footy.

[BostonGoals]

Baines, Jagielka and Carragher can all play RB and thy are all miles better than Gary Neville.

Actually Phil Neville would be better at RB and he's a midfielder.

If that is the best that Capello can do, then he should pack his bags and jump on the first flight back to Italy. But the trouble is he won't, because like all the England players, he's on too much of a good thing in terms of his pay and conditions.

There's no doubt we have some good players. The role of the coach is then to mould those individuals into a team. Capello failed on that front.

If things are going wrong, the role of the coach is then to make changes to tactics and formations and to introduce substitutes wisely. Everyone in the country knows Steven Gerrard's best position - everyone except Mr Capello. And when we're losing to the Germans and need goals we take off prolific Jermaine Defoe and replace him with Emile Heskey! Why? Capello failed on that front too.

I'll finish this post with a word that hopefully Mr Capello will understand: Arrivederci!

Where the hell is Garry Nevill.

So far up Fergies arse he wouldn't here the call from Fabio, not wanted.

Wes Brown

Like most of the players we took, not good enough.

Here is where good managers earn their corn.  Lets see which players make the 23 for the Euro qualifiers.  I think a few players will have been found out and may not waltz into the national setup next time.

David Beckham at 50-1 seems good odds.

Gary Neville?!!?! Every time he played for Man U last season, he looked like a fan who had won a competition to get a game.

Please may I take this opportunity to officially retire myself from contention for the next England squad and international football generally?  I appreciate this will come as a disappointment to some, but age catches up with us all, plus I want to dedicate more time to my family.  Thank you.

that's a real shame Porl, you had so much more to offer. As one last favour can you take terry, heskey, both coles and barry with you?

Actually Phil Neville would be better at RB and he's a midfielder.

So playing players out of position will get us further than we did in this World Cup? Baines is a left back, Jagielka a centre back, as is Carragher.

It'd be like playing Gerrard as a winger....
