I'm not sure who are the most delusional. England fans who though w might win the World Cup or the players in post match conferences talking about how they played.
Matthew Upson missed the best chance of the conference when asked "Where do you go from here?" He failed to say "home".
Other great comments were, the ubiquitous, "We have to take the positives from it". And I think it was John Terry who said he thought "I really don't think we have played as badly in this tournment as people have made out." Cue hysterical laughter!
I have an answer. In future the England team should avoid any Premier League player. We should choose a squad of players who in all honesty never expected to play for the country. Would they win? No, of course not, but then could they be any worse, but what you would get is a squad of players who would really give 110% because it would be the highlight of their careers.
And whilst we're changing things, please stop the players being trained in media relations. I'm sick of, "we have to take the positives from this", "our work rate was really good" and "we all gave 110%".
Maybe now we'll stop treating footballers as demi-gods. Particularly Rooney. Well, that's when anyone discovers where he went missing for the last fortnight.

"We'll have to take the positives from this..." Did anyone actually use that?!
I think the team's problem is that they have low self-esteem issues and feel undervalued. We should give them all a nice big pay rise and maybe they'll play better next time round.
Yes, they actually did. Can't remember which one. In the radio interview on Five Live straight after the match.
