Scholes got it 100% true, epscially the bit about making the headlines and getting a move if we score a goal, its a team game, not a individual 11man game, england need 2 learn that. All the defenders/goalies are team game and rooney and wilshire (2 loyal players 2 there clubs), everyone else is there just to prove a point.
Against Switzerland Wilshere was the only player actually running around, making tackles, trying to change things. Actually looking like he wanted to be there and had pride to wear the shirt. Which is pathetic, because he was also by far the youngest as well.
Just curious, but who all would you consider to be some of the "culprits" that Scholes points out? I don't follow england national team (I'm 'merican) so I wouldn't know.

As for the 80 yard passes bit, that seems to be a bit of a Gerrard reference.
No, they are uselessGerrard's 80 yard passes are more bollywood than hollywood.
His long passes for Liverpool are pretty good, he finds the man more often than not. Not sure about England, I don't really watch them, I want him to retire from the international scene pretty soon.
No manager is prepared to drop either Lampard or Gerrard(or both). They have no chemistry, and never play well together as they are too similar. Capello I thought would have had the corjones to do it, but he hasn't.
Indeed I want Gerrard to retire internationally, he's not appreciated at all.
Nothing to do with appreciation, he just doesnt do his job half the time

they're pretty average for liverpool too, used to drive Rafa insane. but its his thinking, he hits them when he just doesnt need to
I'd drop both. Parker, Wilshere, Rooney. Understudied by Rodwell, Thudd, Young

As opposed to everyone else who doesn't? hmpft.

I'd say Rooney takes a ton more abuse from fans than Gerrard does, I wouldn't want him to retire though.
You'd honestly want him to retire because people criticise him for hitting long balls?

Rooney and Cole take far more abuse, particularly the latter
