Re: FT: ENGLAND 1 - 1 ITALY. Italy win on pens
England had everything in their favour and came up short, again. They will never have a better chance of winning a major championship.
They are definitely better than mediocre but in my opinion lack the stuff of champions, whatever that maybe.
Looking further forward, if Spain can find a goalscorer in the next 18 months, look out the rest of the world.
As for England dominating for the next 10 years, that's euphoria talking after their semi-final win. Unfortunately for England, other countries will improve too and they tend to do it a tad better than our dear neighbours.

So you have no comeback to back up your view?
No stats to show that you were right.

With the number of quality players they have, they will always be in with a shout. However, with the possible exception of Greece 2004 and Portugal 2016, you need something special to bag yourself a major international trophy. And in my opinion, this is where England are found wanting.
For instance, they come nowhere near the great Spain sides of a few years back and lack the brilliance shown at times by the French in the last World Cup.
They are consistent, hard to beat, have depth to their squad but it usually takes a bit more than that.
