I'm legitimately sad that Abou Trika will never play in a World Cup and that this team didn't get an easier draw. They've got a great mix of young and old talent, I really think their lack of league play killed their chances.

Bradley really screwed up on his selection in the first leg. Abdul Shafi and Hazem Emam much better than the fossils he relied on like Wael Gomaa.

Hum Frush was talking about quality players and quality teams. I don't get your point.

EDIT : I get that you talking about England in the 2nd tier. I thought you were doubting France... Well, I put England (with a maybe) in the 2nd Tier because of the '66 victory but also because of the mid 90s (Gascoigne, Seaman, Cole, Yorke...) and the great early 2000s gen (Lamps, Stevie G, Becks and them) which didn't gain shyt. You have semis in the Euro and WC and a WC win. So why do you consider England less than 2nd tier ?

Talented but not great. Ashley Cole is the best out of that lot.

Because the politics of English football as a whole holds them back. More interested in making money.

You may too hard on your fellow britons. Gerrard & Lampard are highly rated here and everybody agree that it's a shame they never won anything with the NT
