After the debacle last summer Steven Gerrard claimed the England team will never again make over confident "We're Going to Win the World Cup" announcements and encouraged the players and media to adopt a more humble and level headed approach going into tournaments. Well, not before time I say since the level of expectation generated over the last three world cups has been completely disproportionate to the ability of the England players. Owen Hargreaves didn't help turn down the hype in an ESPN interview last May "Just look at the players we've got", he said confidently. We allowed spin doctors and rent a quote merchants over the years to keep the fallacy alive that D. Beckham(a glorified one trick pony of a winger if ever there was) was somehow the Cryuff or Baggio of the new millenium. Frank Lampard, an athletic but often lumbering midfielder who seems to take two, sometimes three touches to control the ball is suddenly announced as one of the 'best midfielders in the world' and somehow contrives to win runner up European player of the year. Next we will hear that Terry and Ferdinand are fit to stand comparison with Moore, Beckenbauer or Baresi.

Our current crop of international players are the most technically mediorce I can ever remember. The passing and movement on display last night was evidence of absolutely no creativity or flair at all. It was actually the football of death. It was a grey, labouring, clumsy testament to the end of flair players in English football. I guffawed when the media kept informing us last summer how the current team was "The most talented since '66." On footballing ability terms there isn't a player in that squad fit to lick the mud off Hoodle, Waddle, Barnes, Brooking or Gascoine's boots.

England are heading for the footballing wilderness and I see a chilly excile period from participation in international torunaments similar to the '70s ahead. However, we'll still keep hearing the EPL is the best league in the world along with the other absurd fantasies.
