The same thing we've been hearing for years. There's a great group of players on the way and we'll be successful in the future, only we never are. We always seem to be building to some distant tournament, all the while, the French, Spanish, Italians and mostly the Germans keep winning all the silverware.


Fair point. It's the hope that kills you....

In reality, how many of these young players are anyway near their teams first team, or are likely to get the opportunity within the next few years. I'd imagine very few. When you compare it to Germany, were their manager recently said he had 50 players to chose from for his squad, the majority of whom will have been given their opportunity early, you realise that our first team doesn't stand a chance.

Exactly. The Prem has so much money and so little patience, that instead of giving young talent game time, they just go out and buy someone instead, making the whole youth system near enough pointless. I noticed a young English lad playing for Man City the other day in a friendly against Man Utd and his squad number was 80. He's going to get nowhere near the first team is he?

the English women team were miles behind the Spanish ladies on a technical and skill level, yes we won but the English womens skill and ability was way below the Spanish side who played almost copy cat to their male counterparts, all comfortable on the ball, all able to control it, 360 degree vision....they just didnt have a striker to finish it off....we were dogged, defensive and hard working but shocking on the ball and unable to maintain possession,largely a big lump from the back into the channel.
Goals win games admittedly but as a spectacle their was only one side impressing with football.

Regarding the mens  inability to win a tournament ,

In 1966  you could count on your fingers how many non British players there were playing in England,

Now you can count on your fingers how many English players play in the top league.

Things will not change in my life time,

BUT

At least I saw us win the world cup in 1966

Anyone watching ?

HT...   England  0-0  France

Germany and Spain eliminated today so a big chance to win the tournament assuming we can defeat France in a major tournament for the first time.
