Is this one of the most average squads we've ever seen?

I don't get the criticism at all.

There's a good young squad of players in there.

But no, let's just shoot them down before they get out there.

That's what we do best.

There is, but there's also some very average players in there.

There are. Just like most international squads.

But we've gotta give them a chance.

For these kids, they've been picked for the national squad. How ****ing cool is that!!
How proud must their families be?

But then just to be shot down by the fans and the press!

What the **** is wrong in getting behind a young squad, desperate to play for their country?

I know I'm a hopeless romantic, but dear god, give the kids a chance.

Not sure if you're aiming this directly at me or the wider football fans but I've never once said I wasn't going to back them.

I'll still watch the games hoping the lads win - it's good to see two of our academy products in the full squad and hope to see them starting for England very soon.

There's also nothing wrong with having an opinion about it either.

I started replying to your point mate and then went off on one. My apologies Giacc, no offence intended.
