Does anyone remember this headline

The day after the draw, last December...



Always so much expectation, yet they rarely deliver? Such a talented bunch of individuals, even Capello is bemused. Stunned as to why they can not translate qualifying & training ground form on to the big stage.

As a nation of course we are so fickle, especially the way we idolise then villainise our lions from one minute to the next! Of course they can still top the group and all will be forgotten.

BUT so far two draws (against the U.S. & Algeria) and only managing ONE goal (which was missed by me anyway thanks to ITV HD) come on guys, you're letting us down.

These players are not only world class in their own right they play in arguably the best league in the world and are not lacking in experience, we boast a few Champions League Winners for goodness sake.

With the best manager for a long time, a supposedly 'easy' group and a relatively pain free route to the final stages if we get our finger out I honestly see no reason why we can't win it.
