Hargreaves: England's Euro 2008 Failure Still Shocks Me

( goal.com )

Owen Hargreaves says he looks at the number of England internationals remaining in this season's Champions League and cannot believe the Three Lions will not be present at this summer's Euro 2008

The Manchester United star, who did not feature in England's final few qualifying games due to injury, is one of twelve remaining England internationals still involved in Europe's top club competition.

United and Chelsea have five Three Lions stars each, while Liverpool add another two to the mix.

Club vs. Country

But while these players continue to succeed at club level, Hargreaves finds it a shame that the same has not been true in the international fold.

“I’m just surprised we are not there," exclaimed the former Bayern Munich man. “I think I will be more disappointed when I actually watch some of the games this summer."

Faith In Capello

Nonetheless, he's hopeful that a new coach and new squad mentality can help England perform to the sum of their parts. "When you’re not successful, you need a change - and we needed a change," Hargreaves explained. “Fabio Capello is very much a leader - you can see that in the way he presents himself. He came here with the same intentions as the players - to get to the top. I think we can.”
