England players are fine when they have a sprinkling of quality foreign players around them in their club sides but put them all together in the same international team and they seem utterly clueless. Compare their movement and ball control with almost every team in the tournament and ask yourself how on God's Earth are they considered one of the favourites.
Were they favourites in other countries or are the bookies' odds reflective of Blighty-based wager?

Whatever the answer, England have never been closely associated with creativity, verve and flair. And they don't really have a winning mentality.
