I got that, and yes that is the problem with national team. In fact how many of those English youngsters would get into Juve starting 11.
Very worrying indeed.

Bbc podcast during the last World Cup continually brought this up
Pochettino? Oh my the envy!
you don't rate him?
Considering his tenure at espanyol was all but a disaster and hasn't done much at Southampton or Tottenham since, no.
Outside of guardiola you listed managers that are coming off some of the worst seasons as managers. Klopp has been avaerag at Liverpool and his final season with Dortmund was terrible and mourinho with Chelsea well.
so getting Spurs to 3rd wasn't an achievement? Do you know when Spurs were in the top 3 last or fighting for a title?
Klopp average with Liverpool? 2 finals in one season? Coming in at the start of September. As a Liverpool fan I couldn't be more delighted with his appointment.
Premier League can afford topplayers and coaches from outside England. Yes. No discussion about that. You are missing the point though.
No i totally agree with you that there is something wrong with coaching young English players, whether its a lack of skill, aggression, determination, technique or all of those.
My own personal opinion is that young English players get too much too soon. They are paid a small fortune for being an U21 player. Whats the incentive to improve when you are paid so handsomely?
Ah, gotcha. My point was there is a lack of good english coaches and guys like Mourinho and Guardiola change obviously nothing about that.
And yeah, one of the reasons for problems is ironically that there is too much money involved. Freakin Hodgson was the most well paid coach. That was absurd already before the defeat.

That would explain why English clubs are so incredible successful in the international competitions.

Looks like the UEFA accepted the CONMEBOL "Challenge" (of course, more money for both) and Chile will face the Euro champion on a match
both are probably pissed now that argentina didn't win.

Portugal will keep disappointing people all the way up until the final.
if CR7 somehow manages to win the EURO with portugal than god help us cause the guy's already a cocky mofo, now imagine with an EURO title? jezzzz
If you watch the highlight reels of his goals in Germany, he's typically being set up with gorgeous passes from world class players. Poland doesn't have that same class and creativity.

Just admit he was right, dude. It's okay to be wrong sometimes.
As for English footballers, I think they're good but lazy as fuck about international games.

I would rate Poland and Belgium above Portugal in that half of the field.
And even if they get through the easy-mode quater and semi finals, they will never win against France, Italy or Germany.

I think so... They can punish them on the counter, and Portugal has been kinda lax on the defensive front.
Poland was the best attacking team in the Euro qualifier. They played a decent tournament so far but both teams play the same style so this match has a lot of shit potential.

Today is going to be ugly. We love ugly. Let's go Portugal.

He did manage to do it in a weak year when the usual suspects were going through transition periods or just total train crashes of a season. He really had to finish above Arsenal to be a success for many. His team totally lost the plot at the end of the season, that Chelsea game was a joke. It was the best Spurrs team in a good while and if they hadn't lost all discipline at the tail end of the season then he would get a lot more credit for what he did. But regardless he isn't a coach on the same level as the other coaches you mentioned.
I have to disagree and I'm not even a spurs fan. Id happily take him at my club in the future. His team play good football too, he's introduced a lot of younger players into the team and I expect them to have another good season.
You could play for England

He hasn't won a thing as a manager apart from a manager of the month all the others have won loads. I also wouldn't put Klopp in with the others either but he has a much better record than Pochettino and is a very entertaining personality.

Surprised at the lack of gifs on that England exit.
Can anyone do a gif of the Steve McClaren reaction to Iceland scoring as if he's watching the GoT Red Wedding or the
part of the season 6 finale?

Indeed. Premier League is great. But mostly because of coaches and players from outside the UK.
The english team performed horrible. No strategy, no real team spirit, a useless (and quite honestly: a clueless) coach, an over the hill completely overvalued Rooney (who did everything wrong). Russia is the only team that was more horrible to watch.
And that's sad. I hope the people of england find a way to find their way to the top again.
There must be loads of talent in England.

I have a crazy suggestion for where to hold that game. If they have a stadium ready, hold the match in Qatar. Give us an example of what a big football game will be like over there now so we can have an idea of what to expect in 6 years time. Or would Russia be the better neutral venue before their World Cup takes place?

Is this what you're after?
The best thing about this gif is the fact that you can see the reactions of the sky sports staff in the background as well. One guy facepalms and the other guy hits the chair next to him.

like half of italy might miss the semi if they win but the game gets ugly.

For sure. I'd like to see Wales win it now but 0 tears would be shed if Iceland or Portugal went on to win it, just for a change.
