First we play entirely the wrong style of football, especially for tournament in South America.
We don't have a nucleus of quality players that we've had in some past campaigns.
There isn't a stream of top level talent flowing from our younger ranks.
We have been very poor in recent tournaments.
Proving that every silver lining has a raincloud is that the FA have finally realized we need to evolve our style from kids level upwards. They have funded a state of the art centre, and identified the man, Dan Ashworth, to oversee the operation, but haven't been able to agree compensation for his early release. FFS, write a big enough cheque and let's get started.
Good chance in Brazil 2014? I hope you're right Roy, but I can't see it.
