That's a table I have made comparing the England and Spain squads for Euro 2012. I think it is fairly self- explanatory. Basically, I have taken the FIFA 12 rating, Value and Average Match rating of each player from both squads, and compared them. The results clearly show that the England Squad is just not of the same caliber as that of Spain. It would seem we have very little chance at Euro 2012 if that is how poorly we compare. |
