Lee: "You would expect England to be going to Euro 2008 as one of the favourites - but the fact they aren't even there is unbelievable.
"When you look at the players we have at our disposal we probably have the best team in terms of ability since 1966.
"You've got Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, John Terry, Rio Ferdinand, Michael Owen and Wayne Rooney, who are all world-class players.
"Somebody has to eventually be able to get this team to play together. We should have qualified and we haven't - it's just unbelievable.
"England not being there takes the gloss off the tournament. It's always worth watching and I will watch the games, but it starts in the next week or so and I've hardly heard a thing about it!"
