Where are the personalities though?
Getting like Oscars a load of bo%%ox
Agree Dooali. Too P.C. Women moan they don't win any of the big awards. Then low and behold they win best sporting moment of 2018.
We celebrated the World Cup 2018 as if we'd won it which is slightly cringe worthy television in my opinion. I'm glad Southgate was sheepish about the whole thing and you could see how uncomfortable he was trying to gloss over the fact that we lost.
The netball team actually WON summat though, did thesens and the nation proud. They had SUCCESS and actually ACHIEVED summat, the pinnacle of their dreams as kids in their respective sport. Those words av highlighted are words tha simply cant associate wi the England football team am sorry to say. Just because certain spooarts dunt hit the heights of popularity shunt tek owt away from what thev worked bloody hard to achieve. Deserved award in my opinion even though am not an avid netball watcher.
Totally agree mate. This country has an unfortunate problem of celebrating the 'nearly men' and always has done. Open top bus after Italia 90, do me a favour. Look I don't want to tek owt away from them boys but if we celebrate 4th place like that then what message does it send out? It sends out that failure is acceptable. If the Germans would've lost a semi final they'd have gone home wi the tails between legs and kept a low profile. That's because they set very high standards and thats something this country needs to do. Look I'm not knocking them because we are making progress under Southgate but the mentality needs to change.
I think Southgate was indeed uncomfortable last night because he's a winner and wants to get away from that 'nearly men' tag/mentality. Its great to see a blowk at the helm with integrity. Its been a long time in coming for our national team. He's also English which is how it should be, he knows what it means unlike the over rated Erikson and Capello.
