Why England cannot win the World Cup....


Well, 3 days have gone past since the World cup started and I keep wondering at the beginning of the competition whether England can win this time or perhaps reached the last 4?...
After the first match betwen England and USA, I am convince that we are likely not going to see something different this time as well.
Reasons are as below....

1) The players are too filthy rich
- Rich and young and with all the English lifestyle of a footballer going from clubbing, women, and betting.... these guys just don't have the determination that a footballer is suppose to have to succeed at this level. Mental and physical distraction is the main problem.

2) Lack of team spirit
- With every players trying their best to carve a name for themselves and view this as an opportunity to further enhance their fame, the team lack the team player spirit and too many individuals trying to show case their "talent".

3) Ego
- Englishman ego is another whereby they think they are the favourites and thought too highly of themselves. Such attitude will only bring downfall as the pride is too high for comfort.

4) Commitment to succeed
- These players do not have the spirit to come as a team and deliver the goal as witnessed and this has very much to do with the background and foundation of the human side as most of them come from a relatively comfortable background with very little hardship in life to understand the spirit of working hard for success.

Sad but true....

My personal take is the team are unlikely to even reach last 16 if nothing was done to fix all these.
