Well, maybe not an ode, but more of a reflection…
So, let’s say there’s no need to rehash the 4-1 result against Germany. Embarrassing, absolutely. And I’m not an avid footie fan either, and even I could see the ‘eeuw’ factor.
But here’s what I don’t get: why is the English side so s***, given how highly paid their players are in their day jobs? I mean, they only drew against the USA at 1-1 – and the USA got beaten by Ghana 2-1. So, does this mean that Ghana is better that England, which happens to be one of only 7 teams to win the World Cup, ever?
Am I the only one who thinks or sees this???
Any manager who pays any of those guys for a living, here’s a tip: I would definitely look into how each player can justify their income.
See, I get the sense that the English team are collectively overpaid, so I’d love to see that statistic – and if I’m right, English fans should go mental (in a controlled manner).
I mean, you could hear a pin drop on grass in the whole of England after that result – and not a big pin at that. This performance, given this particular squad, shouldn’t go unaddressed. English fan worship is too deep for that – and frankly, people that overpaid should be ‘looked’ at, given the global economic climate.
And Merkel’s reaction with Cameron is effing priceless – if I were the Tories, I’d get this vid off of YouTube pretty sharpish!
