Actually, the game HAS the ability to reflect this. England's players should have lower ratings for attributes like composure and big matches. There are visible and hidden ratings that dramatically affect performance in big competitions, so why have English national team players always been given such high marks in these areas?
Well yes, but this isn't the perfect solution, since it would also affect their performances at club level.

I mean, England on paper is always one of the favourites, they just for some reason fail to perform in major tournaments.
All major tournaments are held on grass. Perhaps that's why. </BLOCKQUOTE>
As long as is it's not the players. Maybe that's why England stumbles, they are playing on grass.
I've seen England fail to qualify on a number of occasions in my games.
In some saves, they become the new super power though. Seems to be swings and roundabouts.
They've managed both in my game. Not qualified on 15 occasions for the World Cup, yet share the record number of wins with Argentina - who are the only side to have qualified each time.
I do like it when the Wheel of Regen Fortune lands on a small country. I've seen Leichtenstein get a fearsome attack in one save (they still couldn't defend, though) and Kyrgystan qualified for the World Cup in my current game.
