England didn't deserve to qualify
....and even if they had, they'd have probably been knocked out in the group stages.
11 multi-millionaires with nothing left to play for take the pitch.
They've got the glamorous girlfriends, the massive mock tudor homes, the flash cars, all of the shiny suits and jewellery that they could wish for and most importantly of all, the knowledge that win, lose or draw they need never work again.
Is it any wonder that they can't really be fucked?
Sure, some of them will still have the hunger, but, if English football continues the way it is going then soon senough they'll all be greedy cunts like Ashley Cole.
Maybe there should be a wage cap of 5 or 10K per week, those that are only in it for the money would strop off, good.
Those that chose to stay would still be earning many times more than they would ever earn outside the game and we'd get rid of the majority of the self serving bastards who continue to embarrass us on the world stage.
At least they'll have lots of time to go shopping next summer.
pay them a lowish
wage, and then give the whole team big bonuses if they actually win a game.
easy.
or we could just shoot them
and become the polish b team.

In response to J_S
although the other idea sounds pretty viable right now too.
Pole land fc.
the only way to lower their wages
is to ignore them. Stop paying sky subscriptions, stop spending $$$$$$$ on season tickets and start watching 'real' football at semi pro and amateur level.
outrageous
get out.

So was I
but I'm Scottish and therefore allowed to.
bollox
you saying that Italy, world champions, are all on the dole? fuck all to do with money and everything to do with talent
^ this
did France win the World Cup and Euro Championships with a load of paupers?
There'd be nothing dole-esque
or pauper like about earning 5-10K per week, would there?
Italy and France have teams that take pride in playing for their country, they don't want to let themselves down or their fans.
Ours, regrettably can't be bothered anymore.
its more the fact that
englands players are given outrageous contracts early on in their career. so theyve got fuck all to play for.
Exactly
we're just not good enough. Our players are technically inferior. We were embarrassed tonight by Croatia, who were absolutely superb in possession.
