"Yes, we WERE amazing, and will probably win the world cup in 2010, but it does annoy me when people talk about us being potential world beaters"

----------------------------------------

Is that not a bit of a contradiction?

"Ok, it was a good performance, but remember we were playing a largley reserve German team"

----------------------------------------

And England had their full strength squad out did they?

The point is that Capello organised a decent England team and got them playing to a pattern that worked better than the Germans did.

Germany may not have had all their perceived first team out and then neither did we, but they are no mugs.

I agree with A4BD. We were amazingly good. But does that mean we are amazingly good?

Yes we are good enough to win the world cup, but are we actually good enough to win the world cup?

All these questions and more are floating around inside my head(s).

"...because it only piles on the pressure."

Better than pressure on the piles I suppose.
