    Right so from a football discussion to war in one step, seems the education they fought for certainly passed you by. Dear me.

    We looked awful. However, considering most countries have their full strength team there, let's look at who wo COULD and probably SHOULD have been able to field...

    Butland

    K Walker
    P Jones
    S Caulker
    L Shaw

    W Zaha
    J Wilshere
    J Henderson
    A Oxlade Chamberlain

    D Welbeck
    C Wickham

    Now I know some were injured and some were picked for the Brazil friendly. But if you compare our best Under 21 players with Italy's for example, I'd back ours to win. Unfortunately, for a variety of reasons, we seldom go to these tournaments with a full strength side.

    yep Samba.

    Not sure why English players don't take it seriously but it bugs me.

    Simple - cause they don't get paid much for it.
