We’ve reached that point in the cycle when watching England is a tedious, tense affair; Gareth Southgate is near the end of his tenure.
We’ve few publicly owned institutions to bind us together, all sold off for an elite to profit from. No wonder we’re so resentful. That which we once owned has been stolen from us. We don’t even have a sense of deference to a leech-like dated royal family and their ludicrous traditions and shamefully, almost comically, insultingly, be-medalled military clothing. It has created a low level of simmering discontent with the country, which you find less in Scotland.
This makes England’s travails worse because they’re placed on a pedestal. The players are so vaunted, so how can they lose to Iceland at home? Why can’t they produce their club form for their country? If they are worth so much transfer money, they must be great, mustn’t they? Well, it’s not complicated; they play with better players at club level, who can make them look better than they are when with the English players.
Until recently results have been good, which shows how far effective teamwork and confidence can take you. And the players are good when they perform at their peak, just not good enough for long enough to win something with each other. It explains everything and it is the simplest explanation; the players are not as good as we assume they are. Without their foreign teammates, they find being dysfunctional easy.
