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 .
A get thi point about mental strength. However, did the victory for the French tonight come through mental strength? I dont think so personally. I thought they were very fortunate to say the least and rode their luck on many occasions.

This is knockout football mate. It's either thy day or it int. Today the gods were smiling on the French
