Buffon blames Premier League for England's tournament failures
Out of the picture: David Beckham will not represent England at the Olympics

Yet Buffon admits England have been unlucky, particularly with shootouts. He added: 'The
England national side has its own strengths and they're a lot more physical than other sides,' said Buffon.

'But England aren't very lucky. They've lost on penalties in the last five or six times, so the margins between winning and losing are very thin indeed.'
