When the dust settles can somebody please write the definitive study on why – unlike other sports – we are consistent underachievers at the national level in football.
Enough of penalties being all about bottle etc. this has gone on long enough to be dismissed yet again.
English player’s deficiencies brutally exposed again. Masked by technically and tactically better foreign players within their club sides. No movement, skill, guile. Awful. But funny. 😆
Quite right CFH. Must never forget Glamorgan-on-Thames!
I caught the pre match gibbering with the kids, and the TV showed our previous knock-out stage wins since 1966. All 6. Out of 17. Stirling track record.
I think it’s great that after all the turmoil of the referendum, the country can unite behind our football team. A good result will cheer everyone up and we can all begin to Move On…….ooooppps
I don’t think it’s technical ability that the England team lacks, it’s tactical awareness and an organised, consistent style of play that all the players know inside and out.
The manager plays square pegs in round holes and constantly changes it from game-to-game.
Lee Dixon was right: You know how the Spanish, the Italians, the Germans, the French etc are going to play: No one knows how England will play on any given day. The players must think that as well.
says it all when iceland dont even have a professional league and england have the richest.
Hard to get out of bed when you’re sleeping in silk pyjamas! Cant help think that with all that money the hunger and desire is somewhat diminished.
I feel for the fans that paid dosh to watch that england team. Those 11 players should never put on an england shirt after that display
