Oh Me Oh My

I'm going to have a little rant based upon England's latest debacle.

It was embarrassing just how bad we are and how we are still ten years behind the top teams in the world. We got torn apart with pace and precision, something we are incapable of. Though I'm not sure what we expect when you have average players you get average results. We don't produce many world class players. Argentina can leave Aguerro and Militio on the bench, if we need to chase the a game we bring on Emile Heskey and Shaun Wright-Phillips. Victor Valdes has won 2 champions leagues and can't get on the pitch, Spanish goalkeepers have four Champions Leagues between them, we have one FA cup medal between ours. Its nothing to do with how many foreigners play in England. As Aresene Wenger said if you are good enough it doesn't matter where you come from, if there were more quality English players there would be less foriegners in the premiership. Managers choose the players they believe will win them games, the problem is those players aren't English. If you don't believe me where are the next generation from? The next generation of younger English players is even smaller than the current group. Not enough technique, can't pass the ball well enough, we still confuse running around and clapping a lot as being good at football. Its nothing to do with passion or pride, it's to do with not being very good at modern football. Sky and the tabloids just hype and hype. The England players wanted to win but aren't capable. The Germans had a dreadful Euro 2000 and they dedicated themselves to training better youth players and ten years later those youngsters ran all around our 'Golden Generation'. I doubt we will do the same. By the way Germany have gone further than us in every world cup since 1966 including winning two to bring their total to three, we haven't even got to a final. With the exception of Argentina in 2002 we have never beaten a former world cup winner in the World Cup. They are vastly superior so shut up about 1966 and don't even start me on the cunts in ww2 RAF uniforms.

Don't let Lampards goal cloud just how poor we are compared to what was called an "average" German side, if thats average then we are dreadful. Already people are talking about, we need to play the English way, yeah because thats worked for the last 44 years. We need an English manager, yeah that worked for Euro 2008 qualification. Spain have over 14,000 UEFA trained A-licence coaches, Germany have 8,000 we have just over 1,000. We need to go back to the drawing board and start again. It will take ten years and a lost generation to get young English players to be truly competitive.

As for being in Spain now, its the sympathy that kills you
