The only team better than us is France. Has there ever been a time when Spain, Italy, German, Belgium and Netherlands are all worse than us. European national football is dogshit at the moment.
It’s obviously contagious.
still stand by my point that if you can’t operate VAR correctly then you aren’t fit to referee. If VAR has done anything it’s highlight just how shit referee’s are at the moment. VAR should be a piece of piss compared to refereeing a game.

I deal with colleges from spain Germany and Italy. All are football mad and none of them have issues with VAR on the levels that we do in the uk. So as far as the leagues in those countries go it’s working well.

Team spirit will only get you so far especially if it’s built around Maguire and Henderson. lets Face it Henderson is past it and Maguire isn’t good enough.
i would have thought that RdZ success shows that the game has moved on in the last few years and it is all about the tactics. The game has...
