There have been several theories about why England didn't win a tournament during that period, and it is too simplistic blame their exits on the "lottery" of a penalty shoot-out, despite the fact England lost two to Portugal. Ferdinand, Lampard and Gerrard touched on the reasons for the team coming up short in a discussion on BT Sport's Premier League Tonight on Saturday evening.
Ferdinand's admission that he and Lampard stopped speaking to each other during their careers, despite being friends and teammates as teenagers at West Ham, was the starting point for the discussion. Rio claimed that his desire to achieve success for Manchester United drove a wedge between him and the Chelsea midfielder, and the rivalry between the Premier League clubs meant that England lacked a strong team spirit.

The trio also touched on the tactical failings of the team, and how the their rigid 4-4-2 formation let them down when they came up against sides that played with an extra midfielder.
They all speak in a very articulated manner, and there are no excuses offered. It's a great watch.
