Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa
Not really sure what your point is but anyway..
I think if you speak to the actual fans most will tell you they didn't expect us to win. What they will say is they expected a damn site more from a manager who is paid ยฃ6m a year and who's refusal to adapt during the world cup was mind boggling. They will tell you they see the exact same players week in week out in the Premiership competing as and against the best players in the world, only to turn up at the world cup and collectively be an embarrassment. They had the best of everything, accommodation and preparation, yet they still looked like they didn't know what each other was doing.
There are a few things I don't get. How come we head into the first game and we still didn't know who our first choice goal keeper was? How come we can have Rooney play up front on his own for Man United and see him score a shit load of goals, yet we choose to give him a striking partner who has clearly seen his best days for England long gone? How can we have Steve Gerrard, who single handedly keeps Liverpool afloat with his one man show from his free role, play on the left where he is obviously not at his best?
I know we are all armchair managers but come on, these seem like basics to me.
