COHEN: ENGLAND WILL NEVER WIN WORLD CUP ON FOREIGN SOIL
World Cup winner George Cohen believes England will never be good enough to win
the finals on foreign soil.
The 1966 winner, a severe critic of Steve McClaren, claims England's only chance of winning the Jules Rimet trophy for a second time will be in 2018, if FIFA select them to host the tournament.
The former Fulham full-back said: "As it stands England will never be able to win a World Cup on foreign soil. The players are just not good enough.
"The English players are awful, and Steve McClaren should have gone long ago. Even Alf Ramsey was sacked, and he won a World Cup!
"They might get a chance if the World Cup comes to us in 2018. But Fifa are trying to stuff that up, so I'm not sure England will win another tournament for a while."
