Germany legend Oliver Bierhoff says he rates the current England team the WORST OF ALL TIME!
Bierhoff was reacting to England coach Fabio Capello's claims that his players can repeat the success of a young Germany in last year's World Cup.
He said: "There was not a big communication and team spirit in the England team.
"Fabio Capello is a famous, experienced coach but you could see there were certain groups, like France, who were divided.
"It happened to me in 2000 when we didn't go through.
"England had quality players but you could see the players were not communicating any more."
Asked if it was the worst England side he had seen, Bierhoff replied: "In this tournament it seemed to be the worst. In 1996 they were good and together.
"For sure England have some excellent players and they had some good players at the World Cup in 2006, but something was missing.
"They were missing something, some basics that you need to bring."
