France or Serbia.
England's up there in that department.
Italy historically always strong as well.
Romania had a good one ever since Tamas and Chivu retired.

Spain and Italy are a class above everyone else and then I would rate Portugal next. Also, I know some people will knock Spain's defense because they keep the ball, but kudos to them.
If other teams could win possession battle every game and keep the pressure off of there defense I'm sure they would do it, it's not as easy as you think and playing the high line there defenders play is extremely difficult as well. Some very celebrated defenders in Europe would be exposed terribly if they had to play that high line and play the ball out of the back instead of just booting it up field.
1)Spain
2)Italy
3)Portugal
4)France
5)Greece

Portugal's, Serbia's, Italy's and France's defenses over England's? 
Our defense is probably the only good thing about our NT.
*waits for people to bring up the 4-1 Germany defeat*

Name me 5 RB in European NT teams better than Glen Johnson?
Even in PL only Sagna is better than him.

France for me, but I think alot of you are underrating England's defence.
Apart from Walker at RB, there's 3 proven defenders at the highest level. Ferdinand, Terry, and Cole.

Nah, Terry, Cole and Ferdinand aren't "tactically aware" enough.
Forget about the dozens of titles and awards shared between those three.
Another classic case of the 'English so must be crap' mentality on these forums.
