    The only thing world-class about England is the way the level of media hype around them.

    I'll confess to being far more of an F1 fan than a football fan, (great race yesterday BTW...... Red Bull really does give you wings :)), but it seems to me that England just don't have the committment and heart that the other teams have.

    When you watch some teams, it looks like they come out and play like they have nothing to lose. Winning for their country is the most important thing in the world.

    England usually look like a bunch of prima-donnas, too worried about getting injured and hurting their earning power in the Premier League.

    Players out of position, the wrong players starting, coming on & off...

    Didn't the Germans have a player out of position?
    the commentators identified before the game that Boeteng (the left back) was playing in his third choice position.
    Firstly a centre back, second option right back and was filling in on the left.

    He was identified as the weak point yet England didn't capatilise on it

    You say players out of position, but I think that really only applied to Gerrard, the rest were pretty much in their normal positions.

    Unless you mean Terry for their first and he was way out of position ;)

    What we've got here is....... failure to communicate.
    Some men you just can't reach.

    Excuses.

    Either you are the most talented team in the world, deserving of the biggest paycheques in the world, or not.
    What do you expect.

    That a team where just 4 of the players make more money than the entire German team combined should not get humiliated in such a fashion, so repeatedly.

    Breaking News: England are now expecting a hero's reception when they return to the UK....... as their flight has been diverted to Glasgow.

    Caused by the entire population of Scotland p1ssing themselves laughing for the last 24 hours.

    In other news, the Royal Family are reportedly pleased that their home team won......
