This Pitch Talk Rant of the Week looks at Patrick Viera's recent comments about English players lacking commitment to the national team along with their lack of technical skill & tactical acumen. We also analyse Michael Owen's comments about a so-called fear factor that Owen says might be a reason for England's underachievement in major touraments. We also question how important St. George's park can be in the next 5-10 years in terms of helping develop World Class English youths & coaches.
Hear what co-hosts Straight Shootin' LJA & Da Gman thought about this along with our usual LIVE skype callers: Russell Vernon @RussVernonSport - Johnny Sykes @johnnysykes - Tom Hewitt @originalt44 - Jay Martin, Mike Harniman & more with their opinions on all things football.
