I don't know TBH, with a core of Liverpool players (Gerrard, Sterling & Sturridge), a much better back four, a hopefully in form Wayne Rooney and some of the other younguns in the squad I reckon they could put on a half decent show.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment

And by June they are all fecked at the end of nine non-stop months racing around the pitch like madmen in "The most exciting league in the world".Comment

I don't really buy the "they're tired and not trying" argument, or at least I don't want to. Playing for your country is something that the majority of the squad couldn't take for granted - other than Hart and Rooney very few safe spots. In a life filled with money and every material thing you could reasonably wish for, this is one thing you have to earn.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

The game is about money, all pretences it's a sport disappeared decades ago, they just feed of the fanaticism and tribalism.Comment

That's where we disagree. It's precisely my argument that amongst all the money and fame, playing for your country is the one thing you can't take for granted and really have to strive for, and would care about.
No matter how well paid you are and how skillful, you cannot succeed as a top-level athlete without drive and passion and a competitive nature. That's what got them to the plum £100k/week level in the first place.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment
