The thing is Pass its not knee jerk from me on this occasion , I'm just disappointed rather than crushed which is how I normally feel .

Look at our record in the big moments at tournament football since 1990 , that can't be simply down to bad luck because luck evens it's self out , you'd imagine it would over a 32 year period anyway .

Mental strength is just as important at the highest level as is the ability to pass a ball or go past people .

People used to say the England shirt wears heavy on the players but the media today are way different and kinder to the England players than they were previously .

As I said in my previous post it happens way too many times for it to be down to bad luck .

Unless that mental strength nut is cracked then it will continue .
