Speaking on the Victoria Derbyshire programme on Radio Five Live, Eriksson said: ''I don't think there is anything wrong with English football. The only thing I was fighting for (when I was in charge) was a winter break, but because of money the Premier League never accepted that.
''England is the only country in Europe without a break and when it comes to these big tournaments they are suffering for it.''
makes a lot of sense, IMO, as england just looked tired. however, if so, wouldn't it affect other premier league players too? van persie, etc. look fine. maybe it's this plus something else?
