^^ lol this, sick of hearing these numpties on 5live callins banging on about passion and salaries - like the other teams somehow care more about winning the biggest prize in football or dont have multi millionnaires playing for them.
The reality of England's world cup so far.
We have a young inexperienced squad with potential for the future
We are playing in a hot and humid climate that the players aren't used to
We lost two incredibly tight games to teams ranked slightly higher than us in FIFA rankings - we could've just as easily had 2,3 or 4 points from those games (luck of the draw groups)..
Three of our conceded goals were bad inidividual defensive errors and are nothing to do with "passion" or Roys coaching.
