Speaking generally, are English player overrated like many would have you believe? Or is it in fact the opposite? Discuss. |

English players have always been over rated and I think you just have to accept that I mean take Theo Walcott for example he is young and quick and all of the sudden he is world class its madness.

World class? Seeing as no one has said that I don't get that point.I think there are more underrated English players than overrated. Infact becuase people think of English players as overrated a lot then become underrated. Its not just English players and it works the other way e.g. Steve Finnan was overrated becuase he became too underrated and it became some sort of trend to name him when naming the best RB's in the league. |

Underrated compared to foreign players. Alot of people on this forum seem to rate Foreign youngsters outside the prem alot higher but not actually realising the premiership is the best League in the world to compete in. |

Yeah Our players are over-rated for sure but as a team we are under-rated. 100 % win record in our group and 6th in the World rankings. England just need to play the likes of Spain and France and I'm sure we could beat them to cement themselves as one of the best in the world. |

i think they are underrated, since its controversial i think i should explain... english players in england are overrated simply because we have a media culture where we like to hype ourselves up and if we dont succeed then we are shit. but in terms of global perception english players imo are severely underrated. take deco and scholes, we all know who we would take but to the rest of the world deco is a much better player. you could do this almost any player because it is perceived that english players lack flair and imagination thus making them lesser players because they dont play the game the way they think it should be played. its an unfortunate stereotype which is further emphasised by the fact that we have never had a successful englishman playing in a foreign league (apart from beckham and linikear). |

No way would the rest of the world take Deco over Scholes. Scholes' quality is known all over, especially by other players around the globe. |
