No, it’s because England football team are a bunch of pointless wannabes lacking in any talent, backed by an organisation that doesn’t let them play/practice together enough, backed by League teams that don’t let the team play/practice together enough, backed by a culture of backhanders, crooked deals, rip off merchants, massaged ultra egos with no substance, promoted to be “the national sport”.
We could all add to that, but worse.. it’s all backed by fans and an industry built around backhanders, crooked deals, rip off merchants and massaged ultra egos with no substance.
To say it’s all a joke dismisses the underlying talent played out on parks on Saturday/Sunday mornings by 10-14 year olds.
