Passion in English football

Over the last couple of weeks I have really enjoyed watching a number of British Olympic athletes give everything they have got whilst competing for their country.

In contrast, I am now sitting here watching a bunch of overpaid elitists, stroll around a football pitch without an ounce of passion or drive. It seems that putting on an England shirt means nothing now.

Update: As if to prove my point we have the amazing David Davies who collapsed and had to receive treatment as a result of the effort he put in to get his silver medal in the mens open water 10k. Can anyone imagine our Egnland footballers showing that sort of commitment?

Football can be sooo depressing

Sorry for the footie post. So disgusted, had to let off steam somewhere.

Disgusted tonight especially. Steve McLaren showed that he has not learned a jot from the struggles of the last few years. I would love to see some stats comparing results from when England have played Lampard and Gerrard together on the same pitch and when he hasn't. I suspect the performance for the latter will be alot better.

They are the same player and should not be on a pitch together. They are both great - but they just do not work together. England had no central midfield today.

I remember when England had the greatest goalkeepers in the world.
