When you break it down its essentially a team of multi-millionaires from the Premier League and the best clubs in the world against, a Uruguayan band of brothers, very much a mixed bag. Utterly shambolic from England on this basis, shameful really.
 
I think when every world cup comes round there is a huge amount of arrogance from majority of England who know very little about the game outside this country

Have no idea how certain teams and regions have developed and have that ' we have the best league in the world and should be smashing these tin pot foreign countries every time' type of attitude.

The game has developed massively the past 20 years though out the world while us as a nation are treading water

Also there tends to be a ' can't cut it in the premier league so must be rubbish' attitude anarl
