I call bullshit. England national team exist way before the golden generation. English club rivalries was even worse in the past. Even if there are problems, it never stopped them. They simply unlucky, ricardo was too good, and erikson was stupid for forcing gerrard and lampard together when he should've played carrick with just one of them. Also, their goalie shite. Seaman retired really early omgoal shouldn't bother putting his name, and put terry alongside ferdinand instead.

Moreover, they packed the midfield in an attempt to control the possession and tempo. With all of that, they only won on penalties twice. So, it's not as if it's a huge England failure.

Michael Carrick was underrated because he was never the typical english/ premier league midfielder. He was calm composed solid in attack and defense. I don’t think England are ever gonna have a player like Carrick again he’s probably the only “Regista” England ever had. I mean you’ll find an attacking midfielder like Lampard, a box to box midfielder like Gerrard or Scholes in near future but never a deep lying playmaking defensive midfielder like Michael Carrick. If he was of some other nationality preferably Spanish or French..his story would’ve been very different. I still believe the reason why this “golden generation” underachieved was due to the fact that they always overlooked a player like Carrick who stabilises the entire midfield and defence( something which Busquets, Kanté, Casemiro, Fernandinho do for their teams).

Even Portugal Golden generation played finals and eventually won something. English media, marketing, PR teams created such hypes for average celebrity type players who look good only with the support of foreign players. Their main Stricker scored only 1 goal in 3 world cup says a lot, how good they are and how much media feed fake hypes to viewers. It's like selling fake product in original packaging. Same with Belgium at-least they play good, whereas England golden generation didn't even done that. The most unluckiest golden generations are of Holland and Uruguay. England footballing are not there yet and not part of elite group of players. England playing their first final in Euro says a lot about them. Given Euro is the most open tournament where teams like Greece, Denmark were also champions.

Stop blaming 4-4-2. Simeone and Ranieri won league titles in the 2010s using 4-4-2. What you people don't seem to understand is that the decline of 4-4-2 since the mid-2000s is bad for football. In most cases, you don't get an attacking Barcelona-style 4-3-3 as a replacement, but a boring 4-2-3-1 leading to endless midfield battles and fewer goals.

[@sokukenable]

Its not the 442, its the players didn't fit a stereotype 442. 442 needs strong wingers on both sides, England only had 1 side, so they forced one of their strong CM on flank. Aside from Rooney, there aren't another English striker that can operate as lone striker in 4231 system, so the logical choice was either 433 or a 442 diamond to fully utilize their FBs. There were many problems to those England squad, but the biggest was lack of management whether tactically or characteristically.

Gerrard and Lampard could not string two passes together in that England side. Beckham was very good but was injured going into tournament and should not have even been there. England never had a great goalkeeper. David James? Robinson? Average. Rooney was just 18 going into those Euros and people thought he was the answer. He did have a great game against Croatia. Was a bit of a handful against France but you can't rely on an 18 year old to win tournaments. He was very raw. Owen was already a shadow of his former self. Scholes, the best technical midfielder we had at the time was played on the left wing when we were crying out for him in the middle. Owen Hargreaves a regular for Bayarn didn't get much of a look in because I guess he wasn't hyped. And throughout those years we had a top top midfielder in Carrick that barely got a game!

England has the complete squad as Milan from back on those days, the 4-4-2 should work for them the way Milan does: Midfield: Kaka-Pirlo-Gattuso-Seedorf Forward: Sheva-Crespo/Inzaghi The same does to England Midfield: Beckham-Gerrard-Lampard-Scholes Forward: Ronney-Owen The thing is the England football is never put a tactical programs into a whole different level and adjusted it to top level the way Italy do, just see how their clubs went into big stage for the last 20 years under non-england manager, Mourinho/Ancelotti/DiMatteo/Rafa/Etc come there and made a big difference. The another problem is yes they're kick and rush and they might explosive, but they're not as explosive as Brazil. And they didn't has someone like Zidane if they wanted to relay on one player. Chelsea on winning the 2012 CL considered a boring journey by many fans, but that's what tactics does for your team, you win titles. The same way how Liverpool play the 2019 final Vs Tottenham they weren't as explosive as their other matches they played but it was more about tactical and Klopp does the right thing to win that CL title. You just don't need a great defender to defending but you need a great defender who knows tactical and technical abilities to defend just like Maldini and Baresi. Cannavaro displayed this superiority of defending on the WC 2006.

​@Chooey Sooares Champions League might be won by English football clubs, but not necessarily performed by English players, idiot. Premier League's greatest players like Ronaldo, Henry, Nistelroy, Viera, Van Persie, Torres were non-English. Just because Rooney, Lampard, Gerrar and Bekham were famous dont mean they won UCLs for their teams single-handedly. French and Dutch players had contribution in EPL than English.

[@prateeksahoo10]

Sometimes you lose even if you're good enough. Look at Real Madrid from 2010-13. They DEFINITELY deserved the CL in 2012. They were the best in Europe. But they got unlucky on penalties against Bayern. That being said, the golden generation was overrated.

[@cddb5408]

@United is Best I wanted Chelsea to face RealMadrid that year. If that happened Chelsea would definitely have not won it. Barca were much better than RealMadrid from 2008/09 to 2011 though. Real Madrid were given a lot of help in 2013 but still couldn't make the final that was certainly a failure. Also they were underachieving even more so before the period you said as they got knocked out in 6 consecutive last 16 matches 2004/05 to 2009/10.

They did pretty good regardless! I had been cheering for England's National Football team since about 1984 when I was just 8 years old and in all that time I believe the 2002 England Team was the best one they had. The only weak link perhaps being the goalkeeper. That team was in my opinion second best team to Brazil in 2002 - better than Germany and the rest of Europe. I am very delighted over the new team with Harry Kane being one of my favorite strikers right there with Gary Lineker.

This talk of golden generation peaked in the lead-up to World Cup 2006 (and became quite simply unbearable). The thinking was that with the emergence of Rooney, Terry, Lampard and Joe Cole, England could finally complete a team that already had Campbell, Ferdinand, A. Cole, Gerrard, Beckham and Owen. That logic ignored 3 vital aspects: -There was little chemistry between those players, they were just names being scribbled on the team sheet. -No coach was able to find a formation that best suited all these players. -Most important of all, other nations (Brazil, France, Portugal, Italy, Argentina) had squads that were better than England's, with greater team spirit as well. Germany's midfield of Schneider-Ballack-Frings-Schweinsteiger wouldn't have been afraid of facing England either.

[@mavi6562]

Neville lol. Dude was good but individually there were dozens of fullbacks a lot better than him. Same for Beckham, Lampard and Rio. The guys who truly were legends in their position and truly the world's best at their peak were Cole, Scholes and Rooney. When you dive deep into it you find this team isn't nearly as stacked, like Argentina had Aimar, Ayala, Cambiasso, Riquelme, Veron, Crespo, Tevez, Batistuta and a young Messi and they ain't even mentioned in the top 3 most talented generations of the 2000s even though they seem on total to have also a better team on paper than England

[@azgh11]

Some of my favourite teams areManchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, liverpool etc,, Neville, Rooney, Ferdinand etc, are on the squad, Man United used to be some of the best teams that there were.

[@e.c.s5292]

The problem was management, the manager should be blamed. If they played in a 4-3-3 or in a 4-3-1-2 daimond formation they would have achieved more

[@HassanMohamed-li1nt]

Another problem was that they were all playing in the premier league While players from the other countries were playing at different leagues. They end up bringing different tactics and mentality while in premier league they had a lot of rivalry against them selves like Terry and Ferdinand Gerard and Neville

[@19822andy]

The left side of midfield was a massive problem for England during this time along with Scholes' retirement from international football.

Owen scored the first goal in the 2-1 loss. The team lost balance after the goal. Good team management could prevent that.

An average team with 1 or 2 great players has the capability of winning... Too many great players are also a burden and no great players means no capabilities.

Too many idiots fans in England. They are mostly support their club and not their nation. It lead to a team that far from solid even the team full of superstars. I found it is stupid an Arsenal fans mocked Harry Kane in livestream comment England vs USA, England vs France. WTF . And fans that are doing that are on massive numbers. Idiots.

[@BIadelores]

Chemistry and strategy is all that's important. Spain was a team filled with great players in every position, Xavi Iniesta Pique Villa Casillas Puyol etc etc and they won everything in their wake during their day. Argentina 1986 was a team with no names except Maradona and that was enough because they all trusted each other and played together.

[@sankarkrishnan407]

In 2002 world cup if they beat Brazil England will surely lift that world cup. But Ronaldinho scored his best goal.

[@richardg8376]

For me, a lack of strength in depth and and unbalanced team were the main factors. Yes, we had Rooney, but if he wasn't available then who could step up to take his place? Peter Crouch? A way past his best Owen? Decent players but not the guys to bring on and change a game. This is why Rooney had to play in 2006 even though he was miles off match fitness after breaking his foot just a few weeks earlier. As mentioned, we also desperately needed better balance to our midfield. We needed a manager who had the balls to drop either Gerrard or Lampard, and use the free slot to anchor the midfield properly so that whichever was playing could push forward and do the damage. Tactics also plays a part. From what I understand, Eriksson preferred a rigid formation, which greatly stifled the strengths of players like Rio Ferdinand, Joe Cole and Gerrard.

Now theyre out

[@alonsobruni8131]

Euro 2004 were they best shot by far, Italy, Spain and Germany all out in the group stage. However, they lost an already won match against France in stoppage time, where Beckham missed a penalty at a 1-0 lead. Because that, they lost the 1st place in the group. If they won it, they only meet Portugal in the final, instead play against Greece and Czech Republic. But they also should have won the quarterfinal, just didn't have any luck at all. Late equalizer, then the referee wrongly rules out a goal in the stoppage time, and then, David Beckham misses his penalty. If Beckham scores one of those 2 penalties, there is a good chance England makes it to the final

[@najachero1384]

I dont think they could have beaten the Czech Republic. For me the czechs had the best team at the Euro04 they played outstanding. Im sure they could have beaten my home country greece. Englands problem was that they had to many chiefs but not enough warriors. You need balance and chemistry to win. Something those teams lacked in my opinion.

[@gontrandjojo9747]

They let Beckham take the penalties because that's what their medias wanted. They got what they deserved. Also, you claim they "should" have won against France but they didn't. You claim they "should" have won against Portugal but they didn't. So why the fuck do you claim that they would have won against Greece, Czech Republic and Portugal again in the final? "If they didn't lost against France, if Beckam didn't miss penalties, if they didn't lose to Portugal, if they would have played Greece in quarter, if they would have played the semi, if they would have played the final" that's a lot of "if" to my opinion. The fact is that they finished second of their group and were instantly kicked out in the knockouts. For every other would be "top nation", it would have been a "failed campaign". For England, it was their "best shot" by far. It tells a lot about this so-called "golden generation".
