I only started following soccer a few years ago when my son got me interested. But England’s failure to field a competitive World Cup team is the stuff of legend.
They have had a bad run, I agree. However, I am a fan of English style of play. Not so much grandstanding and flopping. Their blue collar style has always appealed to me. My stepmother grew up in Manchester, so I got educated from my early teens. Started playing at the same time, 40 years ago. A life ago, it seems. Played until my mid 30’s when back and neck issues forced me out. Went out on a good note, a goal and an assist. I miss it.
Oh, you should go to Youtube and look at some of the footage on that ‘66 English team.
