England are rubbish Col they are flattered by the foriegn players in the
premiership. The Germans don't have the situation where their league is
full of non-German players whilst ours is due to the money involved, Our
national side is in terminal decline.

I think it is too easy to use the foreign infux of players as a scapegoat.
Remember in the 1970s when we failed to qualify for two consecutive
World Cups?
Not many foreign players there, unless you count those from the other
home nations.
I don't know what is going wrong. We have the talent, you can see that
in the Premiership every week, just when they get together as a team it
all seems to go wrong on the big stage.
And even more remarkably, this is a team that swept all before them in
qualification, winning 9 out of 10 games and only losing when they
had already qualified.

Boy oh boy, are the press goning to have a field day tomorrow morning.....

Yes I know OT but Col started it.

True, but at least I provided a snippet of weather information!
And I have now changed the subject line accordingly.....

Not as a scapegoat but as a fact Col. The wind of change is blowing through
English football with ominous dark clouds on the horizon.- Hide quoted text -
