We don't always lose to 'better teams' - that's not how football works as you know. We do like to draw with teams that are about the same level as us in lose on pens a lot though. Look at how impressive the Swiss were at the WC - we won away there with ease - people need to give England credit...
But England are there on merit too. In fact I can't remember the last qualifying match we lost - I think it must have been for the World Cup 2010 - so about 5 yrs ago - although I may be well wrong.. It's something about the added pressure of the big stage in major tournos imo - too much...
Yep that's been out downfall... As you know we qualify superbly on the whole and don't lose many games. We just seem to perform quite poorly in major tournos and draw a lot or lose on pens!
