Even so, Carrick, Scholes etc were produced. Stones can become good enough at the technical stuff to excuse his mistakes. If Southgate's idea is shared by the relevant people, it'll lead to change. From what I've heard that's the case; the structure is full of mini Bielsas |

Short story, financial disparity has damaged football. Add in a generation of youngsters addicted to social media, cutting in to their time playing with a ball outside of dedicated training and core skills have declined. |

It's progress for them. They played good stuff, finally got Hazard going at a tournament. Definite platform to build on. |

They'll go from a team with no expectations, to the ultimate media build up next time around. |

Just seen on the Belgium news. Belgium scored more than 15 goals in the tournament, which means that Krefel, a Belgian electrical appliance retailer (think Currys) has to reimburse everyone that bought a 55" TV from 26th April with the full price.
... not to worry though, it was underwritten by a British insurance company :-) |

the reason he plays 3-3 2 -2 is to get more bodies in midfield as the holding/defensive midfielders are so technically poor. There is plenty of pace in the team but no one good enough to play the ball into space.
Trippier looked good enough to get into contention for the team of the tournament but who else? Most of them are just decent to good footballers wholehearted and committed but not really good enough. |
