  1. Sam Allardyce, the most successful England manager of all time (with a 100% win rate I might add), epitomises the English philosophy of the game: "hoof it into the box onto Andy Carroll's head."

  2. I know the answer to this…in an international sense at least…..work against ourselves as much as we can and almost always revert back to the wrong and old ways of doing things.

  3. It's about time English football evolved. Yes, it's entertaining, but on the international stage, it has a hard time against really strong and skillful sides. The PL has long had dozens of top foreign footballers and coaches (including many South American players). Some of it has rubbed off on English players, but not enough. And that is why English teams have never dominated and never will dominate the European game. Running like a lunatic is fine provided you're tempered enough to do it smartly. Sometimes it's about the pause (see Xavi for an sample of this). That said, a factor that nobody mentions is the ghastly English weather, which is not exactly conducive to an enjoyable game of football.

  4. Englands ideology is to reach national celebrity at the age of 17 and then have no reason to care about winning because you are already famous and have a Nike contract.

  5. im a massive germany and bayern fan so whenever this loss to man u at the last minute comes up im so upset hahah and the one against chelsea too..,its staggering how many finals bayern has played and lost.but thank God we have also won many

  6. English way is boring, dull…………………………..I was 6 in ‘66 and remember watching the World Cup final. Proper footballers then……….not these poncy rolling round on the floor mob. Always looking up at the big screen. Watching themselves on TV.

  7. Such a shame that the British game suffers from leftwing nonsense now… ''oh lets not invest in our academies and find some bang average foreign players because they're cheaper!'' : /
