The best teams in the world don't play 4-4-2 because it's an out-of-date formation, which is easily exploitable and doesn't promote the passing game most teams want to play - that's why, end of discussion.
The only 'big' nations who play 4-4-2 are England, and we aren't really in the Elite anymore, last time we reach a SF was 23 years ago :facepalm: says a lot really, or shall we ignore that!?
There were times yesterday, when, we had the ball out wide, and it looked like we wanted to go back inside, but the absence of the 'middle man' we had to keep it out wide...
AGAIN, WE HAVE LOST MORE GAMES AT HOME PLAYING 4-4-feckING-2 (hilarious Mike Bassett scene!) how many times will you ignore this!? :facepalm:
Ah - nothing to do with the fact that English players aren't good enough? I will let the FA know that they can shut the newly opened national centre of excellence and just tell all league sides they must play system but 442, that would guarantee us the next world cup.
England would benefit enormously if more of its players went abroad and expanded their game. Less scandalous media coverage and more well rounded footballers anyone?

It's what needs to happen for us to be competing at the top level. So many foreign players have experienced English football and learnt how to incorporate a physical side to their game with technique. But could you imagine Rooney ever moving to La Liga, or the likes of Wilshere heading to the Bundesliga? No chance, and until more of our top players bring this to their game we'll always be lagging behind.
