"the heroic failure you talk of gets tedious after a while"

Couldn't agree with you more. But that's the angle the UK media will always take.
Bottom line-England are not good enough. Too many average, over-rated players.

Most of the english players are more worried about their million dollar contracts for their teams. Not taking any chances on injuries, etc.

WC means nothing to them as far as their bank accounts go.
