Take a country like Brazil, that amazing 80s generation who didn’t win nothing, were criticized for being defensively susceptible, addressed the issues, came back and smashed it, England just always played long ball take their legs out look at us we’re so hard type football, thats why were never win nothing. Socrates? Arguably the best Brazilian side ever - certainly better than the 1994 one - and they didn't win a crumb. There are a lot of ''great'' teams who didn't quite make it. The Hungarians of the '50s and Dutch of the 1970s deserve mentions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think it's a lot to do with club football being the main passion aswell in England and it's not geared to serving the national team really. I think a lot of fans of the big teams would put their clubs over England if they had a choice. Liverpool fans even take pride in the fact that they don't give a fuck about England being successful. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My point is, great as they were (and they were great) they addressed whatever lackings they had as a national team and went on to win, we don't do that. We have a different footballing culture here and the issues are from like...youth training levels up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Dutch have never won one yet. These Belgians don't look capable either and people hype them up. The Argies haven't won a crumb since 1986. The England sides of the '90s and '00s probably did about all they could do really, albeit with some clueless managers as mitigating factors. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Manchester United's inability to score from open play, something which has plagues the team since Ole took over and which was only temporarily solved when Fernandes came in, is back again, too.

Len Cnut 14,952 Posted November 26, 2020 Author Share Posted November 26, 2020 My boy Joe Willock just stacked his motor. Shocking behaviour, shocking way to carry on, setting an awful example for the youth. That would be the youth into Grime and Drill, offing each other in record numbers all across London. (I touched 120 on my way up north the other week in my brothers Jag, fuck me that car can fly ) On 11/24/2020 at 11:11 AM, YouCouldBeMine_2029 said: Me to...

That entire generation in fact, Wilshere, Oxlade Chamberlain, Walcott, Wenger put so much faith in those cunts, they were given chances and respect and oppertunities that young footballers dream of and what did they do? Shit fuck all is what. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I just remember it being Man U (Ferguson) v Arsenal (Wenger) during the '90s and '00s. That was basically the premier league in a nut shell. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
