The English game was all about passion and tough tackling, however now that has pretty much been removed from the game that leaves us with a void to fill which results in us trying to play "Flairy" football when in reality this is not our strength.
During that tough tackling era, England suffered it's heaviest international defeats in 1953 and 1954 when we lost, both times to Hungary, 6-3 at Wembley, then 7-1 in Hungary. Unfortunately, while I have always loved our domestic football, them damn foreigners always seem to play it better than us.
....but we also won the World Cup in 66 and dominated Europe for many years in the 70's though, Bomber
