too many Brits.
Not enough fast black lads
That team was just as successful as the current team.
So shut up.
Who else reckons that team would have won Euro 2016?
It actually makes me sad to think about how we genuinely good players. Look at that back 4, world class centre halves, probably the best left back in the world. Beckham, Gerrard, Scholes, Lampard in midfield. That's why even though we won fuck all at least we would get to the quarters and go out on penalties after a spirited, competitive performance. Now we have people like Woy in charge of overpaid, 2nd rate dogshit players going out in the group stages and losing to minnows like Iceland in some of the worst performances I've ever seen from an England team.
>2004
Refballed
>2006
Rooney being an idiot
>>69520599
Everyone of those players were world class at their peak except for David James.
>>69520540
To be fair to Englel, at least back then they regularly made the QFs. There's no shame in going out to eventual winners Brazil, in 2002. Losing QFs to Portugal in 2004 and 2006 on penalties also isn't disgraceful.
They were certainly better than Englel now - who haven't won a knock out game in literally a decade.

>Playing Scholes on the left wing
I'm still mad
Gerrard and Lampard played together in England's midfield from 2004 up until 2010 and not once did it work. It's fucking unbelievable, and i wanna know if it was down to spineless/moronic managers or pressure from the FA to play both.

Hurdur why can't I win anything? Why are our managers shit? Why is Rooney playing in midfield?
That jersey looked great
they don't make them like that anymore
Who would get into the 04 team lads?
>>69520540
fuck that team was good, apart from James of course
>>69521129
Wilshere, Hart and Vardy but that's it
>>69521129
James was so bad Hart would replace him, but that's pretty much the only player that would be an upgrade
>>69521129
I want to say Hart, but he's seems just as error prone as James.

England is the equivalent of the HSV. Past their long gone glory, irrelevant ever since but successfully maintaining their delusion of grandeur.

>Beckham - 1x Ballon d'Or runner-up, 2x FIFA WPOTY runner-up, UEFA CFOTY x1

>A.Cole - UEFA TOTY x2

etc.
They were all objectively world class in their primes apart from D.James. Neville was perhaps just a level below world class, but still the best RB of the PL era.

I'm actually kinda sad for the gk, it wasn't really his fault
great videogame team t.bh.
>>69522453
This. Loved them in PES 03 and 04 along with Italy and Brazil
>>69521129
>all those £50m players
too warm
>>69521129
Definitely Hart
I'd say Vardy as well but meh that would definitely not be an upgrade considering the 04 squad consisted in young Owen and Rooney
>>69520854
Scholes played on the left wing for Fergie sucessfully during the 2002 season, cant blame Sven for trying desu
>>69521143
>Wilshere
>>69520540
Shearer retired and it became the shitty team in that picture
>>69520854
This is a meme
>No, [playing out of position] was never a problem. I played on the left for United I don’t know how many times. I probably had my most successful time scoring goals in that position so it was never a problem.” When Jamie Carragher admitted that it mattered more to him when Liverpool lost then it did with England, it confirmed the suspicion that some players had much deeper bonds of loyalty to their club.
Straight from Scholes

What a travesty. One of the worst award fuck ups in any sport

> fail miserably
Every single time
>>69520566
hahahaha
>>69524799
It probably would have. We lost out on penalties after an even game with a Portugal side that was far better than the one that just won the Euro. The state of international football right now is dire.
>>69524839
the delusion never ceases with the english, doesn't it?
>>69523844
lol that tru touh
>englets when will they ever learn
>>69524884
>his country can't even qualify for the shittiest euro ever, even after they extended the number teams
>thinks he can talk shit
>>69520540
>ywn see a midfield of Scholes, Lampard, Gerrard and Beckham again
This team was so stacked top to bottom
Young Owen and Rooney were genuine forces of nature back then too(especially because they weren't your typical meme striker that you guys always end up playing hoof the ball to)
EPL was a great, great league back then
If you guys had based Jurgen back then you would have won at least one trophy. Literally the only thing this team needed was to play to win, and not to not lose
>>69524987
World Champion here.
You are delusional.
