FIFA strike again … how can you be worse off in a seeding campaign by playing a friendly and winning it than not playing at all?
I’m all for scraping meaningless useless friendlies, leave our League matches alone and stop it with fucking blank weekends.
Judging by the way England are playing recently (last 20 years!!) their little get togethers acheive the square root of fuck all anyway, except opportunities for the big boys players to tap up some easily impressed wide eyed new recruits just breaking into the squad.
I can imagine them in the back room big lounge chairs smoking jackets as it is effectively a private club big cigars puffing away and the sound of piffle piffle piffle

But at the end of the day they’re still a pretty average team who would still be average even if they did “play” the rankings game as the article suggests…
I can not wait to see our World class players and thank the Premiership for giving us such a great national team, maybe other nations should thank us as well?
He was eligible Bazza, just nobody bothered to call him up because he wasn’t a kid at a big club some of the press DID advocate it but hey ho, England would have ruined him, kept him at Left Back or whatever
