It may be expected that England would struggle from time to time against quality opposition, but the team don't seem to be able to dominate football matches like they used to, especially against the more mediocre teams.My view is that this is largely down to managerial incompetence.In the last few years, and especially in maj...

Success is clearly the more important, winning games is all that counts.
