A question that has been nagging at me for a long time is why is England incapable of being a serious world cup contender? You guys invented football, it’s baked into your DNA, every English kid plays the game from the time they learn to walk, and you have an incredibly deep pool of talent, yet you can’t even make the semis to save your sorry arses. What the living hell???

I really cannot figure this out. I’ve asked various English about this and no one seems to have a plausible explanation for it. What do you all think?
