They have had some class players for a number of years, probably not enough to make it through to the next level of competition. But their captain, not playing today, is a bit special Arda Turan, was terrific with Atletico; rumors Barcelona might be letting him go after just one season (one way to destabilize an opponent, buy their best player and then dump him after one season)..
I wonder if some of the Spanish players are watching this nervously wondering what the Turks will dish out to them in their group match.
I wonder if Dixon and Wright will be so confident about our Euro 2016 chances at half time? Defensively we look very poor which, admittedly, is nothing new!
Going forward we look decent in patches.

Kane needs to understand what these other players are for when it come to free kicks, scoring goals etc. Explains why his team came third and that Leicester are the champs
Not that it bothers me a lot as I'm a Wales fan.

He's earned the right to say as much as he wants in my book . How we need a Hoddle in our team , nowadays .
Not sure this formation works without Welbeck. Vardy's really struggling to play the wide forward role (despite excelling in that same role early in his career).

Thank the lord , Hacking Sukar isn't playing
Why do England always seem to look so much better on paper than on actual grass whereas our opponents generally have the opposite problem .

Greed is good in a striker but both Kane and Vardy need to play percentages when around the box rather than always take the shot on - looks like trying to outdo each other rather than play as a team.
Alli good so far. We look dangerous going forward but vulnerable at the back - but we knew that already.

Not having Danny Rose or Raheem Sterling. Rose has never been good enough, defenders need to be at the very least solid in defense and he's not even that. Just another bloody Glen Johnson.

Add in daniel "greedy" sturridge and we will have three players all playing for themselves.

Which is fine for their clubs where they have other unselfish forwards playing alongside them servicing them. Both take stupid shots from stupid angles and always have. England need an Okazaki equivalent.

Generally it's down to the players simply not being as good as people like to believe.
