So basically, Britain did with the Olympics what Germany did with football: realize that you're shit, put a ton of money in infrastructure and coaching, and begin to dominate 10-15 years later.
Does this mean that England could become good at footie, too?
>england
>realizing they're shit
I wouldn't hold my breath.
>invent sport
>be shit at it
When was Germany shit at football? When we won the WC in 90, the EURO in 96 or the WC final in 2002 which was followed by 4 consecutive semi finals in WCs? you cuckold i will kill you
Pretty sure there have been big investments into our football infrastructure in the last five years or so, but I think we still have the same old shitty coaches
>realize that you're shit

tfw the dream team is dead
German
>humor
The FA are incompetent old farts, and as a nation we are even now completely incapable of admitting how shit we are.
>Does this mean that England could become good at footie, too?
Those useless fucks will never become good at international tournaments. They don't care anyway.
Say that to my fucking face, kiddo.
it could but won't, becaue the higher ups and the culture around it are toxic. Germany got it together but those with influence never want to get off the gravy train here. Sure England fail, but what else can they do? Admit they were wrong and change it? Pride and money > success
The FA is run by either old fart County FA types who wouldn't invest in a second pair of trousers, or $ky Sports-style tossers like Greg Dyke who think supporters of 100+ year-old clubs want to see them play Everton u21s on a Tuesday night.
Academies are retarded also, they will always go for the instant benefits of a pacy black kid or a 6ft teenage mutant. Even later on in player's development, Leeds got rid of Tom Cairney at 16 because he was too small. Now he's six foot tall and has had good spells with us, Blackburn and Fulham. Painfully short sighted.
>David James
>Michael Owen post-injury
>No natural left midfield so you have to play Scholes and Joe Cole there
This is why they failed.
It'll be difficult, the PL is too lucrative so they will not put money into formation or tracking (like all the clubs in la Liga), they will just buy foreign and bankable player like Pogba.
You germans were able to change your vision of the sport in the early 2000', i think the british can't.
hello where is the holding midfielder?
>they will always go for the instant benefits of a pacy black kid or a 6ft teenage mutant.
France have the same problem, we lack of creative player in our ligue, unlike Germany and Spain .
France rely too much in the 98' WC victory, wen they won with a compact and defensive strategy
Stevie G is right there
The PL has so much money and with Brexit it's just going to slosh around the PL clubs. The standard of player will be the same but the money spent will be the same. They're better off taking that money and putting it into the English youth set-up, it would actually result in better players.
>Stevie G
>holding midfielder
lol ok
Olympians are primarily of the middle and upper middle classes. It's the same reason we're good at rugby and cricket, it's a better class of individual.
Footballers are primarily of the underclass, who are thick as fuck. You're dealing with worse materials. Their attitude and mindset is completely different.
