English national football, where do we go from here?

Which is something which makes someone better than they are by about 25% immediately. Tbf to McClaren I like him a lot more these days, could not stand him when he was the England coach.

 

[Langeveldt]

Wouldn't be at all surprised tbh. Can't say I would blame him either. Tbh his English is also pretty damn good considering the fact that he spoke pretty much zero of it when he first arrived in the job.

I find it amazing how you can get a job like that without being able to speak English.. Surely he can only use a translator at certain times

The main problem is that "hoof" in Italian is "zoccolo". But then that word translated back into English has a variety of meanings.

Given there were quite a few coaches at the WC who were foreign to the country they were representing, chances are it's pretty common for a coach to not speak the language of the country.

 

[Ikki]

Which reminds me: still no team has won the WC with a foreign coach IIRC.

 

[Castrol]

Next world cup team should be :

J.Hart

G.Johnson
M.Dawson
G.Cahill
A.Cole

Walcott
Huddlestone
Wilshere
A.Johnson

Rooney
Defoe

The oldest player would be Ashley Cole in his early thirties.
Terry, Ferdinand, Gerrard, Lampard, Barry should all call it a day before the Euros and then give the young lads a chance at the tournament to get them ready for the more important world cup 2014.

J.Hart

Jimmehhh!!!

Marcuss to agree.

 

[Jarquis]

**** off ****. Joe Hart, WAFG. Until he goes back to ****teh

Cobblers. Every world cup winning coach has been foreign except Alf Ramsey.

I really don't know coverdriveman. They have talent, they have perhaps the World's best football league and system, passionate fans (GIMH :P), money, but somehow they never do it as a nation. Is it something of a mental issue?

 

[Jarquis]

It's a "producing **** footballers" issue.

 

[PhoenixFire]

System is crap at grass-roots and the players aren't good enough.

It's pretty simple.

Precisely this.

Majorly DWTA.

Compare England with Germany and the Germans come up trumps in just about every field you can think of.

 

[PhoenixFire]

Apart from winning wars

 

[silentstriker]

We may have had something to do with that.

 

[sledger]

You were decent mascots tbf.

 

[PhoenixFire]

Pretty sure that the Indians didn't fight in WWII...

Tsk tsk

You've mis-spelt your location, it's spelt "USSR".
