The moving of games to Sky ruined the feeling of the whole public being part of it.
Where are our hero's - Kane is the only player who reaches the countries expectations of a class player.
I watched about 5 minutes of last nights game and was not interested in Sterlings goals, mainly because I'm sick of reading about his racist remarks in the media. Lets face it! our hero's are now all foreigners and we see them every week, would England beat any of the top 6 PL teams - I very much doubt it.
We no longer hold the England team in high esteem.
We have one set of heroes as far as England are concerned and thats the 66 team. Since then we have threatened a few times to actually do something good but always fallen before we should have done. For the first time in many years, this current England crop seem to be a bunch of good young players who don’t have the usual over inflated egos we have seen for the past 20 years. They seem honored to play for England and the focus on youth and the pace that has brought to the team has certainly made me more interested in them.
This lot might become heroes, but they will have to win something first, and for the first time in ages they might just be able to do that if they continue to progress.
