That's excellent in my book...
I had a look at the latest friendlies against "weak" opposition that you mention:
15/11/11 FRI England 1 - 0 Sweden (rank 17)
12/11/11 FRI England 1 - 0 Spain (rank 1)
29/03/11 FRI England 1 - 1 Ghana (rank 26)
09/02/11 FRI Denmark 1 - 2 England (rank 11)
17/11/10 FRI England 1 - 2 France (rank 15)
11/08/10 FRI England 2 - 1 Hungary (rank 37)
30/05/10 FRI Japan 1 - 2 England (rank 19)
24/05/10 FRI England 3 - 1 Mexico (rank 21)
03/03/10 FRI England 3 - 1 Egypt (rank 36)
That is a excellent record (7-1-1) against pretty damn good countries.. |
FRIENDLIES.
Nuff said.
Your calling Ghana, Hungary, Egypt, Japan good countries ? We should beat them all easily.
Sweden and Mexico are better but should still be beaten by England.
France and Spain are the only decent teams in that group. Won one lost one - that proves what ?
But friendlies really do not count. When it mattered England were hopeless.
