Something bugs me about International competitions and England.
A classic example being Phil Thompson on Soccer Saturday a few weeks ago.

March 13th: Phil Thompson says Lionel Messi is having a "poor season" and Wayne Rooney is "streets ahead".
March 14th to 21st: Lionel Messi scores 8 goals in 3 games and takes his season tally to 34 in 38.
