I shall begin with the most relevant reasons. 1. Not enough world-class players. England cannot win it in the same way that Libya cannot win it...the players are not good enough. How many of the current squad play at PSG, Barca, Real Madrid or Juventus? Who is world-class? Kane or Sterling on an exceptional day? You need 4 or 5 top,top players at the very least. 2. Mental strength and attitude. The least passionate and most self-absorbed squad. Cossetted from youth..its about the money, headphones and roasting women. They always come home saying it was too long or they are retiring or they were bored in the hotel. Chicarito came off blubbing yesterday simply because they had won the opening match...what would he have done had they qualified! 3. Ranking and form. Ranked below the Swiss, Poland, Chile, Peru and Denmark....for good reason. These teams are at least England's equal. Weight of money with British bookmakers always shortens them. They are 15/1 and i would not back them at treble that with Southgate's money. In just over two years they have beaten one decent team (Holland), who were in free-fall. 4. Southgate. I do not rate him. Been groomed for the job by the FA since he captained England. A "Yes" man. They always speak of him as calm, intelligent, considered. I have never heard a profound or erudite word from him...even when i was in his company privately...in fact i think he is none too sharp. His management record is not exactly glowing either. Simply not the man for the job. England to beat Belgium in the final  |

1. Sterling? Don't make me laugh
2. That show by the Mexican's at the final whistle yesterday was embarrassing and is a good example of why they won't win the WC either

No need to overthink it. It's exactly the same reason why the USA or Australia or any of about 200 other countries in the world won't win... Just not good enough.
Think you're being a bit harsh on Southgate. From the outside looking in, he seems to me the best couch you've had in years.

England will win the world cup, maybe not this one but the next one etc etc..no reason to stop buying the flags and having wall to wall news coverage of everytime one of 'the lads' breaks wind..
given the set up tonight its possible we will win by a few goals, all hopefully being scored with their feet by central defenders??
Henderson will be goalie when and Stones will drop a huge bollock..
I am watching in hope, expectation was long ago..

When Oti writes a thread giving detailed reasons for why England will not win the World Cup, you know it's time for you to put your house on England winning the World Cup.

I didn't realise any England fan thought they COULD win the World Cup? Surely the limitations of this side are obvious and plain to see.
None the less I'm feeling far more optimistic than I've ever been for England as we have a clear identity/style of play and a few handy players. Hoping for a QF personally.

Not even read it, usual Oti stoking controversy and being his learned self...

Is this meant to be some revolutionary insight? Everyone knows that England won't win the world cup, and the reasons why

Absolutely nowhere near good enough, but despite my many Scottish friends thinking otherwise I really couldn't care less. Town's point at Chelsea meant far more to me than England winning anything.

Henderson would struggle in Towns team...Dier is slower still. You cannot win the world cup with water carriers (actually hod-carriers). You need a Messi, a Pirlo, a Platini or a Xavi. |
