well it is their faults isn't it, they're the ones playing the game
and it's not like capello has players available from the youth systems in england. yes, they will eventually start to play the younger lads, but as the english know, there has been more than one mistake like robert green's in england's history.
they have to look at the youth sytems, and why their teams are not MENTALLY prepared to play the game on the international level. because we all know the english can play football, fact is they fucking invented the game. we know how good gerrard, lampard, rooney are, we've seen it, and yes i believe those fucking commercials.
but i think the pressure that the english public and the english sports media and general media put on the football team before they're even QUALIFIED is ridiculous. i mean, can they start winning these world cup commercials of them winning it in an epic victory AFTER they've won it in an epic victory in a world cup which we ALL KNOW would at least be making it to a SEMI FINAL.
c'mon england
it's mental, we all know there is talent in england, but it seems no manager is brave enough to pick the personalities to play, but why should he with the backlash of the english public so cruel. there is fear in this game. maybe foreign players thrive because its not their home, and they don't choose to believe it. maybe it's harder not to believe when you've been seeing the headlines since you were a little kid and then someone decides to talk about YOU. isn't that what you should also be preparing them for at the ACADEMIES. the lifestyle of being a footballer, the RESPONSIBILITY to your people for enabling you to have EVERYTHING. all one has to do in football is work as hard as they can toward their ultimate dream, and always be giving back for 10 years. now you become a multimillionaire, but in the old days pints and chicks were okay too. seriously, all they have to do is behave themselves, and play the game, and they could all have the life of their dreams. they can leave the other squish till after they retire and they're no longer directly representing their nation.
really, someone should have said this in the major papers by now. multiple multiple times.
