I don't see your national team winning anything in 40 years! None of your players are world class and, I won't be shocked to see you miss the world cup!
In all our history we were never the favorites for anything but in 1984, 1986 and 1992 and maybe 2002. On contrary to England, we do not claim having invented football (but we invented the World Cup, the FIFA, the UEFA, the Champion's League...) and our clubs have not won 20 european trophies.
No, we have tons of young and up and coming talent coming through much better than what England has whose young talent is rotting on the bench because the EPL sold its soul and whored out to foriegners.
40 years ? It makes multiple generations of players. Can you see the future ? If so give me the winning lottery numbers.
if it walks like a troll, and talks like a troll, it's a troll. but carry on. ther's not even any need to close this thread, you've come to the wrong place to wind anyone up. we've seen it all and a bit more... les chiens aboient, la caravane passe.
