Too many 'alpha-males' in the England team, says Germany's Thomas Müller

If the phrase 'alpha-males' makes you  think of the spoilt, arrogant, excessively rich, lazy, immature footballers of the England team then you're probably thinking along the same lines as Germany's Thomas Müller. 

The gob on that

Asked  to analyse the English football problem, he said: "I think the English have so many top stars they will always be part and parcel of the international scene. But they have so many alpha-males it is difficult to have them row in the same direction. You don't just need chiefs, you also need Indians. That may be a problem with England. Are the players willing to go that extra mile for their team-mates?"
