But isn't a lot of footie dross when your own team's not there? You see it for what it is, not for what you're hoping against hope might happen some day.
I reckon there's so much coaching that nobody's really really bad BUT instead of the good teams becoming great and truly creative, they're so coached they're aware of all the things they could do wrong and they become boring and they follow instructions like railway lines.
On the box Rio Ferdinand said England didn't know what to do against Iceland. If you were playing in the Dumfries Sunday League Division 3 & a team equalised against you when you knew every one of your players was better than all theirs and your manager was still pissed from Saturday night and the linesman was as bent as a nine-bob note, you'd still have a fuqin clue what to do! These guys only play football, they've been doing it for years and one of their number thinks they didn't know what to do!!!!????
It's a simple game, if you play quicker, faster, work and tackle harder and spread the play all over the pitch a team worse than you is gonna start struggling. If you're the crap team then you want to compress play, don't give their good players any room to make you look shite and give the impression you all tackle like bags of cement. In't that basically how the game works?
