Re: European Championship 2016
When England players are charged with not wanting it enough they just dont get it do they. Actions speak louder than words and whilst they might all say 'YES!' we want to win, on the pitch, where it actually counts, too many of them go looking for a hiding place.
Playing shit happens, literally nothing worked for us and from 1 - 11 everyone had a crap game. Marcus Rashford must be the only 85th minute sub in history who is in with a shout of winning man of the match (for England only obviously)
Watching Wayne Rooney who is undoubtedly a good player and our best distributor by a mile spray passes all over the place was something else, but it happens, bad day at the office and all that. What is inexcusable is our captain and talisman and best passer of a football repeatedly picking the ball up from his center backs only to give it straight back so he can hide behind the first blue shirt he can find so he's not troubled with the responsibility of doing something with the ball.
We wanted to play well and turn Iceland over with style, when that didnt happen not one player had the gumption or stones to roll their sleaves up and get the job done dirty. No disrespect to Iceland, they thoroughly deserved their win.
When God said to the both of us "Which one of you wants to be Sugar Ray?" I guess I didnt raise my hand fast enough
