Am I the only one (apart from Danny Baker) who is willing to say that Southgate safety first football failed miserably and as he says, he should rightly take the blame. A timid England particularly in the second half, reverted to type and tried to defend. Take nothing away from Italy they are a good side. One shot in 90 minutes of the final of the Euros is pathetic even if it was a goal. It is no good having all that attacking talent if you don’t attack. Why does England always shy away from putting their most creative players on the pitch from the word go? The idea of football is to win the match by scoring more goals than the opposition? Tell me one fan who would not have been happy if we had won 5-4 in 90 minutes? A good defence is always preferable but its a waste if you are not attacking at the other end. Our safety first tactics will only take you so far. Still for a few days we were an excited nation waiting in anticipation and hoping for an end to our tournament failures. We must keep things in proportion it is only football, no one died, no one was hurt! Good to see that the final brought out the best in the English, fights, drunken hooliganism, racial abuse on social media, piles of refuse littering the streets, what a wonderful nation we are! Only one year and we can go through it all again in Qatar!
Meanwhile back at the ranch Tonto disguised as a door had his knob shot off! Covid it seems has at last woken up the Cuban population to rebel against there regime. The shortage of vaccine and increasing death rate in proportion to the size of the population has roused the people and as comes as no surprise the government is blaming the USA!
I ask this question? Why do people and particularly the young get so offended if you even speak to them firmly never mind raise your voice. I hasten to add it is only when it is justified. Indeed why are people generally so easily hurt? Have we become so sensitive that any slight is mortally offensive?
I hope everyone has a great week and if you are trying to get over the England result your not to upset after all it’s only a game!
Stay well
