Funny how they continue to tell us we have to learn from the other leagues while always neglecting to mention the underachieving Brazilians, Spanish, Czechs, Dutch, Croat's and Poles!!
As Woof said the main problem with England was their bloody FORIEGN manager!!
P.S if there's any Liberal PC yogurt knitters who are offended at my use of the terms "Jock" and "Paddy", get a life, welcome to the real world!!
I'm proud to be a paddy so no problem there.
I think England were appalling and as I know more about English football than Brazilian (and I don't speak portugeese so I can't go on their websites) It makes sense for me to pay more attention to England than elsewhere.
I would love to see an attacking England team playing good football win the world cup, I ended up cheering for Germany as they were the most attacking team in the tournament.
Nothing bitter about it.
I can also accept criticism about my country's team - Ireland are

I was cheering for England V germany in 1990 shootout as gazza and co played attacking football and dominated the game and the media were a bit more humble then- before the hyperbole of the premiership.
