My problem is that the whole "players we have not used since" implies that there is this stellar English team that Hodgson just holds back because he's a moron.

There might actually have been one, though. I mean Kane was absolutely fantastic in the League this season; the disparity between that and this is striking.

Maybe not 'stellar' but Hodgson was almost definitely holding us back. If Vardy can't get a start after scoring 24 goals and winning a title, there's something seriously wrong.

Sometimes players just don't deliver for the national team. Not saying England is bad, there is talent, but I fear fans have deluded themselves a bit too much into how good the squad actually is. See e.g. De Gea.

He's your Erich Ribbeck. Okay team, but it never worked.

I'm not saying they were favourites or anything; but I firmly believe that this was on paper a mostly strong team (barring Hart and Sterling) that Hodgson squandered.

Rooney has been in the squad for years...

Is this true? lol

Assistant coach yes...

The coach was the Sweedish coach who's never lost to England as a manager...

I was watching the game with my old man and the exact thing I said at 70 minutes is where is Rashford? Young player, little pressure/expectation, fast and skillful.... But no, Roy keeping that Kane/Sturridge combo going and Sterling for a good chunk.

Roy has his favourites, like his hard-on for Jack Wilshire who brought fuck all to the table when he came on.

He was willing to screw the team over to play his people.
