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". |
so what actually is your point,i don't understand
i've watched every football tournament since 1982.,i've watched alot of football,i said we don't need tactics as a bit of fun,of course you need tactics in set plays and marking and shape,does it have to be all or nothing with what i say,i think you have misunderstood me aswell,what are you actually saying about england and her footaball i don't understand
i want to watch england play in world cups and euros enjoying themselves you only get 3/4 games a tournament so lets play in an english style that i enjoy
again what are you actually trying to tell me about england,her players and her record please tell me so i can understand,what is it that you don't like as i enjoy watching england play in major tournamnets around the world
