“English football in the gutter” – the sun
“A lame team led by a lame boss” – the daily mirror
Well, that was not really the best day for English soccer fans, but guys try to think positive:
1. That way you keep the traditon of very weak English goalkeepers. (or should I say fly-catchers)
2. Penalty-dramas like in the past are now impossible.
3. Your neighbours from Wales, Ireland, Scotland and Northern Ireland were even worse.
4. Now you can launch your own “British Islands Soccer Championship”. I´ll bet on England. (constraint: Carson is not the keeper! …my mom is a better keeper)
To be earnest after all sarkasm: I really think it is sad that England failed to qualify for the EM2008. Lampard, Rooney, Gerrard, Owen, Crouch are really skilled players. But the English team needs a better team spirit (and a better coach)!
Skills are not everything, you have to fight for success!
