I don't think we qualified in style at all. The results on paper flattered us. The performances weren't that good at all. We scored against the run of play in a few of them or played weak opposition. The only match that stands out is the Croatia match and that was a while ago now.
The rot has been there a while. We've given Capello time and space and we're just going backwards.

Well the best England have done in recent years has been under Eriksson who is still treated as a joke. I think the FA are under pressure to deliver a manager who can bring this team further than the quality suggests. We are a team that should be in the last 8. Which we did mostly achieve before.
