It?s a belief born on having to battle from the off. No sitting back for them. A Brazilian footballer was asked why are there so many fantastic footballers in Brazil? The answer was because it is a way out of poverty. Motivation right there. The English mens team doesnt have the same motivation. Too many are too comfortable whether they win or lose. We can learn a lot from the womens team and the boys from Brazil.

Totally agree! More desire, pride and team work. From a supporters point of view - a carnival experience without the p ricks!
