What’s destroying our England?
Thursday, November 22nd, 2007
What’s worse than failing to qualify for The EURO Cup for a big team like England?
This is a big mistake, a huge disappointment, and there must be someone to blame. If you say I’m looking for a scapegoat, indeed I a
m!
Are
we finished as a footballing nation? I’ve heard a lot about some people
who used to talk about the greatness of the country’s football. And if
we are to speak radically, did England really deserve to qualify? Guus Hiddink said no.
Traditionally, when a team fails, the most likely man to be critisised is
the manager, in this case it is Steve McClaren. I know it’s not just up
to him to take all the responsibility. As a team, we all must take the
big thing together. I personally disliked Steve for dropping David from the squad.
Start from the people who run our beloved football, The FA. How could they blunder by appointing a tactically inept, mediocre, delusional, inexperienced, ineffectual (put your adjectives here) man
like that Big Mac? And even tied him up with a contract worth 2.5 millions pounds. Surely that’s why he didn’t resign, or he wouldn’t get that enormous sum
of compensation. I think these fat cats of the association should learn
picking the right people and having the fan’s best interests at heart.
What about the players? Quoting of what Roy Keane said,"There are too many egos in there, too many big heads." International football is not that important anymore, club football has taken over.
The
debate over these matters has been going on and on. People might have
different a perspective of where the real problem actually lies on, but
we have the same big interests, if we want to clear up the mess in our beloved footy’s world, we must start from now, from the grassroots level to the very up above.
Let’s just take up the moral of the story:
No hooligan stories next year, no endless dreary stories about football.
Come on England!
(ah.. I’m still unsure if I’m gonna watch EURO 2008.. useless)
