How does a country with a fifth of our population have genuine world class players and we don't ?


The age old question.

The most disjointed disorganised England team I have seen in a long time. How on earth did we get to semi's.Don't think any of these would get in Ragarse Rovers reserves. Gareth you are not going to get a medal now.

It’s because they have ‘B’ teams in the league and their equivalent of the Checkatrade is always a sell out 😂😉


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

As I have always thought, it's how you coach the coaches who look after the young kids, I feel we still look att the physical attributes of a player before we ask if they can play, honestly would a Messi have had any chance in England?

When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

We've done better this half but haven't had enough shots when in good positions and didn't take our chances.

Belgium look good on the break and Jones has just shown why he's not good enough for international football.

Could be another goal or two in the last few minutes.

Did the food shop instead. Got home and caught the last few minutes to see Hazard get a second and commentator and Hoddle throwing out excuses. If only England could play teams they should beat all the time.

At least it's looking like a good bet on Kane to win the golden boot.

4 wins against mediocre teams. 3 defeats and 1 goal from a set piece against better quality opposition. Can't see it ever changing to be honest because we are not producing the Hazard's and Mbappe's of this world and i can't see that changing.

How does a country with an 11th/12th of our population produce world class players and we don't?


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.
