The last "world class" English players were prime Beckham, Lampard and Gerrard.

We currently have no "world class" players. None of that starting XI would get into the German team or the French team, or even the Spanish team. Cahill, Sterling, Sturridge and Rooney wouldn't start for the likes of Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid or Juventus.

It's a cup full of poison that needs pouring out and filling up with fresh water.

Edit - Add in John Terry to that world class section too.

It's not about world class players.  it's about a team with passion,  guts and tactics.  England lack of all that.  

 

Sure Italy just beat Spain.  On paper you'd think Italy weren't up to much,  but they have all of the above.
