Sums up the whole england project for me.Havent seen flags out there yet but Im sure there will be one village missing an idiot to take one.Id only bother supporting england at a world cup and I dont have any problems with the scots,welsh or irish(ROI) making it to the beach in qatar!
What we should do is look seriously at dropping all the old guard - as they have clearly demonstrated that they are not up to tournament football & are not going to win one now Drop Terry/Lampard/Gerrard/Barry/Ferdinand directly after the Euro's - (if not before) Put in the youngsters now give them their head - with the proviso that we have little to no chance of winning the tournament but the experience will be invaluable by the time we employ an English manager & David Beckham as No2 after the Euros for the next world cup We have a plethora of young talent that needs blooding now & should be fielding a team with a average age of 23-25 max by the time the WC comes round
There is only one man for the job - Stuart Pearce....aided & abetted by David Beckham, who would take over the under 21's The FA could also retain Terry Venables as consultant in some capacity
