Well, it is. I dare anyone to prove me wrong. As I'm writing this, England are in Tallinn, Estonia. Currently battling to a 1-0 victory. It's boring, tedious and just what you'd expect from Sunday afternoon trash telly. There's no creativity in the passing and the decisions, there's no depth in the squad and we're still playing Jordan Henderson. I really struggle to comprehend the sheer lack of ability our academies must have if he's the 'go to' midfielder England have. It's a sad day for English football.
So what can we do to halt this desperate slide and increase the interest in our national side? Well, for one, we can sack ITV as the broadcaster. The coverage is incessantly dull and uninteresting. The only highlights are the adverts, which I also hate. Other than that I'm out. Barring Henderson, this is probably the best team I would pick from the selection we have. Maybe Gibbs rather than Baines and possibly start Sterling but those are like for like changes, there's not much in them really. Whilst that sort of competition would normally result in the best from each player, they know they're going to get game time so they don't bother. It's no longer the pinnacle of the sport because they're getting paid so much by their respective clubs.
They don't care, which means neither do the fans. Wembley said be packed out, every match. Except it isn't. It's in the back end of nowhere in North West London and there are no good pubs anywhere near it. It's a commercial disaster and the poor quality of the England team only compounds the view that the FA are a crap organisation who only care about the money.
