1) Who gives an F what the English media says? They always build the team up to ridiculous proportions just to tear them down when they fail. They're not logical and using their actions to justify your position is hilarious. So what if the English media says so. If the English media's hype was real England would have won every World Cup, even the ones they failed to qualify for.
2) Yes, Capello could have used Michael Dawson. Are you daft? Michael Dawson has never been capped by England. Never. Not even one fricken time. He was the 24th man on the roster. There was no way in hell Capello was going to bring Dawson in to start against Germany. He hadn't even capped the player in a friendly and Dawson only made the team because of 3-4 injuries. The logical choice was only between Carragher and Upson.
3) Rooney was never better than when he was for England in 2004. He's never looked better than that as a player, not even for Manchester United.
4) I'm not saying Ashley Cole isn't good, just that he was possibly *the* best left back in the world in 2006. Not anymore.
5) Yes, lets have you do this all day, you don't know what you're talking about. I've shown that for the most part the England team was worse in 2010 than 2006, destroying your absurd contention that Capello had the same team as SGE. Capello had an older, injured version of that 2006 team. Not at a single facet of the team was the same or better in 2010.
