As noted elsewhere, Portugal despite having Figo, Cronaldo and Deco conspired to play like absolute pricks and were probably weaker on paper 11v11.

Sven and Capello with a wealth of experience failed to get past QFs with likes of Ashley Cole whilst Southgate had Ashley Young, Terry for Maguire, Gerrard and Lampard for Kalvin Phillips and Hendo.

It's only really this tournament where he has three or four established world class players and that's with a defence made out of paper clips and rubber bands and he's made at least the semis again.
