In no other country, Spain , France , Italy , Germany ate any one out of the top flight capable of sustaining such a wage structure. The premier league itself is defiantly the greatest in the world , however as a nation we are pretty cash poor when it comes to home grown talents . Of the four finalist teams , which English players would get into another top ten country’s national starting eleven? Mcguire ? Trippier ? Kane ? Stones ? Let’s be realistic, foreign born players prop the premier up You just said it yourself....." greatest league in the world " If France had the greatest league in the world that would be propped up by foreign players. We've been hearing Jocks tell us for the last 15 years how the arse is going to fall out of the English game........dont seem to be does it. We just got to the World Cup semi finals with home grown talent im happy with that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
THE STIFFMEISTER 15,845 Posted June 13, 2019 Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 Realistically Nash , England didn’t play against a good side until Croatia. Let’s have it right Against good sides how have we fared lately ? Holland for example ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Last time we played them we beat them. Are Italy,Brazil,Germany good sides ? None of them beat us last time we played. Plus we have the greatest league in the world what is there to moan about.....i guess judging England depends whether your an optimist or a pessimist mate 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We're bound to lose games along the way, personally I think this is a turning point for our national side...Southgate is not scared of losing a game to test these young lads...fair play to him!! For generations now it's been the same thing, a win at all cost mentality and shoe horning players in regardless if they were fit, in form or could even play the position.... I welcome the odd loss, you learn a lot in defeat, we're on the right path imo.. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Absolutely......i also think the change in society benefits the side....no longer will our press and media ever get away with national humiliation of players/managers......having multiple black players has seen to that .....look at the way we handle penalty shoot outs now....no more degrading pizza adverts if a player misses ! Southgate has been fantastic,players enjoy playing for England again. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Silversnake 1,099 Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 Some women's teams (Australia, America, new Zealand)are asking for equal pay to the men and taking FIFA to court over it!!! What a joke!!! Women's soccer generates nothing (in dollar terms) compared to mens soccer but they expect the same money. The world has truly gone mad... I am sick to death of idiots attempts to hold us to ransom in the name of political correctness Quote Link to post Share on other sites
