Thoughts on the English National Team

I believe England always tends to not do well in World Cups because of the English people. There I said it. The people, especially the media, always tends to put all the pressure on a single player every single tournament. We saw it on Becks in '06 and now it's on Rooney. When one man feels that he must carry the entire team you have already lost. The second Rooney is shut down and unaffective, as in the last two matches, the entire English squad is lost on what to do. You must realize a team wins matches not a player. USA is purely a team, we don't have super massive players to put the whole match on. And our mentality is alot healthier, as long as we can figure how to stop conceding goals.

I believe the day the English realize that a team is more important than it's individuals and starts calling players that will work well as a unit rather than famous names then you will see some glory. Hopefully you can figure this out by 2018.

ps Gerrard as a left mid? come on Capello...
