Jesus, I don't know where to start. You're really putting words in my mouth here. OK, taking your points one by one:
Although you didn't use the F word, as that seems to offend you you said "We don't need tactics", so that's where that come from. I'm not angry, what gave you that impression? As I said, I'm pleased by the situation. I just have an opinion despite being "not even English". Is that okay?
Italia ninety was 22 years ago, football has changed dramatically since then. I didn't say McLaren was shit because he was English, I was trying to point out that he was chosen because he's English, as a cure for Sven's regime and I don't think that's the way to choose a manager, but it looks as though that might be the reasoning behind it this time.
You are portraying England as one dimensional by saying tactics aren't needed, which is, I think, a ridiculous statement, that's the main point I was making. That and that the FA needs to change the fundamentals of football in England id they want to make a real difference, not just change the manager. You brought Sven into it, implying he was useless by saying "tell me about capello tactics in south africa,i'm all ears or svens"
What is my problem? Perfection? I don't get this sentence at all.I think you're totally misunderstanding me actually. As i said, I think Harry's ok, I don't have a problem with English managers, I just think the "we don't need tactics" mentality is a stupid one that damages England's chances.
Of course not every major team does well in every tournament, but none of them (now that Spain have got their act together) have as bad a history as England since 1966.
My point about getting knocked out by good teams was that England tend to muddle through the relatively easy group and early knockout stages until they meet a good team. They never seem to beat good teams when it matters and have become a quarter final team, which given their resources really shouldn't be good enough.
Again, I didn't say I had a problem with English managers, jsut the idea that playing the English way shouldn't involve tactics. but your choice of Hiddink and particularly Mourinho here really flys in the face of your statments about not needing tactics and "we should be about scoring more goals than them".
