I laugh so much at you English – firstly everyone wanted to drop becham when the results were not going well. Now he is dropped, Frankie is the new target and we should drop him for becks!! hahaha

This is the perspective of a Dutchman who is a CFC fan and loves England as his second home:

a) England has the best squad in the world in terms of talented players, the only area slightly weak is upfront as in my opinion, only Rooney and Owen are world class. You have world class cover everywhere else.

b) Neither Frank nor Becks were responsible for bad results. It is a team playing out there. Frank has justified his place in the team as the EPL highest ever scoring midfielder. Also he was 2nd best player in the world – Ronaldinho was 1st and Eto 3rd. Not bad. Becks is also a fantastic player who can cross better then anyone playing right now.

c) The cold facts are that Gerrard and Lampard cannot play in the middle of a 442 formation. But they can play in a 433 or 352 i.e. if there is a holding player. Since Gerrard is more versitle then lamps, he is forced out of position. Is gerrard a better attacking player then Lamps? it is very close.

Solution: Unknown – that is why i work in a chippy and Maclaren is paid millions ot mange the team. However even in Holland we were have serious race issues dividing our team and serios ego’s (Ruud and Robben and Davids, etc) the country and it’s press get behind the team ans support them. In some countries the way your press slate your national team would be considered traitorous!!

As a potential opponent of Englands in Euro 2008 – I hope your press and legion on internet fans continue to slate your own team as it gives teams like Hollans, France, Spain and portugal a much better chance. These teams know they have the support of the country and therefore do not fear failure or taking risks trying new players or formations.

Anyway – keep up the good work and hopefully you won’t even quailfy for Euro 2008 and then perhaps you will get rid of the national team altogther and just send either CFC or ManU to represent your country!!
