As all the England players sat around sobbing all I could think of was "Ahhhh...poor little multimillionaires". You know what, I think that they get paid so much money that they've got nothing to lose if they lose, after all the £100,000 for this weeks work is still gonna roll in from their club and the concept of playing for the honour of the country is diluted to the point where it doesn't really matter in their chavvy little world.
The papers this morning were calling them heros because apparently they battled hard. Frankly that sticks in my throat seeing that the match was played on the same day that the 90th Anniversary of the battle of the Somme was being remembered. 20,000 men laid down their lives for this country in a single day. Footballers? Heros? Nah, not in my estimation. |
totally agree..especially the last bit!
