Brave performances overall but we are just not good enough
After the match we took the dog for a walk and discussed the four games we have seen over the past two weekes. We did feel that in a limited time Roy Hodgson had made a start at dealing with a malaise that has permeated the England National team for several years. Admittedly a lot of that has been fuelled by a moronic press iaded and abetted by a distant FA. No off the pitch shennaigans this time round, no rumbles from within the team camp and no widldy optomistic forecasts from a team that always looked like it would never get further than the group stages. Last night answered a lot of questions for me. The way football is run and organised in England mitigates against having the best possible national team (the arguments that support that are well rehearsed).
I like Roy Hodgson and the way he's organised things, he got a lot of mileage out of the team he had and I have a sneaking feeling that the world cup qualifiers later this year could be interesting - I've not been this intersted since 1966.
I read this article on Saturday and I felt it gave an interesting angle on the team: http://tinyurl.com/7nh6rgu
Dave, I know you are a big England fan but I wouldn't be depressed by all this - there might just be a bright light at the end of the tunnel mate
