Players like Cahill, Henderson and Sterling Demonstrate how shit they are in a bang average team. All 3 are nicely protected and not exposed when playing for club but with this team they are exposed massively.

Hart has 74 caps, what the actual fuck.

To be fair he was the best English keeper for quite a while. We should've given someone else a chance after the Euros though.

God this is wank. Why would anyone pay to watch England

I think that's part of the problem. The fans flock to the games no matter how we play. If the fans started staying away then there would be pressure from the FA to play a more entertaining style of football.

I hate myself for placing that cheeky bet on England to win the WC because I find myself having to root for England.

To think Liverpool paid £40M for him with a year left on his contract

This is a weak england squad no doubt. But there a coaching and tactical issue going on here too.

Around 50 of them are fairly well deserved tbf, but he shouldn't have had any this campaign. Massive drop in ability since 2014 but 2010-14 he was definite number one.
That's a fair comment. I just find it astonishing how some keepers seemingly get picked regardless of form.
