Why are England so bAD at football?

Answer 1

The England players are not bad at all, in fact they are some of the best in the world and are top scorers and performers for their Premiership Clubs. There are a number of factors that could be the reason England perform badly at the WC finals: the manager, the coaches, the players' mentallity, the FA system, the fans' pressure etc

The most likely reasons are the following:

The players are exhausted by their club and national commitments which means that by the time they reach the World Cup finals the combined exhaustion and pressure limits their performance. In the German league, for example, players have a break from Football at Christmass which allows them to mentally and physically recover, unlike English players.

Another major reason is probably the mentality of the players. The senior players have suffered so much defeat and disappointment that they lack leadership, confidence or inspiration to carry their country forward. Not only because of that but also the general mentality of the British population have influenced them to perform poorly.

Many managers and coaches have been replaced all being the best in the world. England has disappointed under all of them so it can't be there fault.

I am afraid we have to live with England like this, their faults are a bit of a mystery to most. English people can find hope in the new generation of players, especially ones of the under 17 team who have been reported to be some of the best players of their generation in the world.
