England will qualify I think.
And look the the players Sven has...
GK's - David James, Robert Greene
Left Backs - Ashley Cole, Wayne Bridge
Right Backs - Gary Neville, Phil Neville
Centre Backs - Sol Campbell, Ledley King, Rio Ferdinand, Gareth Southgate, John Terry, Matty Upson
Right Mid - David Beckham
Centre Mid - Steven Gerrad, Nicky Butt, Frank Lampard, Owen Hargreaves, Scott Parker
Left Mid - No one. Closest - Steve McManaman, Alan Thompson
Strikers - Michael Owen, Wayne Rooney, Darius Vassell, Jermaine Defoe
In that list is maybe 3/4 world class players, England just dont have the raw material to compete with the best teams, we dont have a flair player, we dont have a keeper, and at the moment we dont have a goal scorer. It's true that if Greece can win Euro 2004, we should be able to, but a lot of othe teams failed who have a lot more quality than we do. I think making the knock stages in Portugal was all that was expected of Sven, and we made it.
