Extremely aggressive media
+
Unrealistically high expectations
+
A Football Association that is not effectively aligned with the interests of the national team.
+
A transfer culture in the Premier League that favors mediocre foreign talent over young home-grown talent

>Why is everything associated with this badge so embarrassingly shit?

Simply re-define "shit". If the English stop deluding themselves into thinking the national side are actually a contender, their goals and expectations will become far more realistic.

England un-ironically believe the England Team are on the same level as the Germans. If you really do believe that, you're setting yourself up for a lifetime of disappointment. Instead, they should realise that the team is just another mid-tier European side like Austria or Sweden.

They should expect to qualify for tournament finals. They should be happy to make it out of the group stage. They should be ecstatic at winning a knockout match. That's it. Remove the notion of actually winning the whole tournament from your mind.

At least you are not Holland

Fat Sam era now, we're going to win the world cup playing long ball

>They should be ecstatic at winning a knockout match

They shouldn't though. We're as rich as Germany, our population isn't far behind and we have the biggest league in the world so if the Germans can be successful it means our failure is down to development of players, training, style of play we promote etc that can be changed.

>We're as rich as Germany
Close, but not quite. They are richer.

>our population isn't far behind
~55mil vs ~85mil. To close for counting, amirite?

>and we have the biggest league in the world
That's completely full of foreigners taking spots from English talent.

>if the Germans can be successful it means our failure is down to development of players, training, style of play we promote etc
So you just have to change every single thing about your footballing culture?

This is the delusion. Because the Premier League is so excellent, the English think is translates to the quality of English players. Just completely ignore the fact that the rich Arabs who own most of everything aren't interested in developing English talent; they just treat the clubs like their own personal Pokemon to battle against each other.

Sit back and really have a think about it. If the England team were really that intrinsically good, don't you think they would have won SOMEthing within in the last half-century?
Hell, it's been a decade since they even won a knockout match. They've never won a knockout match at the Euros on foreign soil.

Why is everything associated with your face so embarrassingly ugly?

England were a good team in 1986, 1990, 1996 and 2002. Germany having a slightly higher GDP per capita doesn't mean anything, Brazil is far poorer. We have the resources to copy and paste what Germany did with young players and put technical skill above athleticism, that we don't is a systemic failure.

In the run up to Euro 2016 we won 10 games on the bounce and beat France and Germany, at the tournament we changed system, changed players, players like Kane looked burned out and we bottled it. At the same tournament another smaller team from Britain reached the semi final. England shouldn't be doing worse than quarter final at major tournaments with the overall resources we have.

>e rich Arabs who own most of everything aren't interested in developing English talent; they just treat the clubs like their own personal Pokemon to battle against each other.

There's your problem.
Germans, Italians, Spanish, they will always take a U23 native player for their top-flight clubs instead of a foreign transfer. English kids top out at the Championship. They don't get to the EPL at the same age as their counterparts. By the time they get a couple years of top-flight experience, they're already old.

nobody outside liverpool says 'la'

terribly meme'd my unemployable muchacho

>England were a good team in 1986, 1990, 1996 and 2002
They were an OK team. A team that is "good" for the 16 year period you describe would accomplish more than a semi-final appearance in a tournament they themselves hosted.

England need to completely scrap and re-do their system from the ground up. Everything needs to be aligned towards the success of the national team, like in Germany.
The difference between Germany and England, though, is in club ownership structure. In Germany, the club has to be majority member-owned. A bunch of Germans will agree to the DFB's demands for the national side.

Will a bunch of foreign petroligarchs who are the sole owners of their pet clubs give a whit about the needs of the England team?

For that matter, will the English public truly have the motivation to demand that kind of change when the Prem is the world's top league?

It's far easier to simply insist to yourself that you're the best and the England Team are simply on a 50 streak of ineptitude.

Because your mother sits on it, you smelly fucking paki
