Shamelessly copied from the bbc... 2010 Guardiola wins the league in Spain Spain win the Wold cup! 2014 Guardiola wins the league in Germany Germany win the Wold cup! 2018 Guardiola wins the league in England IT’S COMING HOME!!!
https://uk.yahoo.com/sports/news/200000-colombians-demand-england-game-replayed-074948129.html Colombians petition FIFA to have the England game replayed. They are deluded on 2 levels: one, that they were cheated at all and two, that any replay would ever be sanctioned by FIFA even if they had a case. How many countries would think they had been hard done by....Maradona's 'goal' and Lampard's non-goal are two instances in major competitions that I can think of.
This is a brilliant, brilliant piece of writing. Hits the nail squarely on the head for me about the transformation of the England team. http://thequietus.com/articles/24928-england-world-cup-coming-home-gareth-southgate
Yes, but I wish he’d say what he really thinks about Sam Allardyce! Seriously, that is an extremely well-written and thought-provoking piece. Thanks for that Laces.
Brilliant read LTL! It reinforces my Club v Country view. We do well in this tournament and Football is coming home anyway win or lose. The whole nation is getting a lift. Coupled with the amazing weather, whatever happens tomorrow, Summer 2018 won’t be forgotten.
I loved the bit: "On a national stage dominated by incompetents, cranks, cowards, zealots and buffoons seemingly hell-bent on dragging us into the national disaster of a hard Brexit, Southgate is both a pleasant surprise, and a welcome respite: a calm, pragmatic, dignified manager guiding a fresh and appealing England football team. He is perhaps the only public figure in charge of anything in England right now to demonstrate genuine leadership: a capacity to plan well ahead; a sense of both practical and ethical purpose; a willingness to take responsibility, weather criticism, and be judged on results."
So when England win the World Cup on July 15th 2018, there is only one way for him after reaching the summit...….. Next SFC boss?
