2010 Football Pre-Season Summer Friendlies...

After the disappointing England World Cup campaign, the usual Club pre-season summer friendlies has began. What was so disappointing was that the squad of players been together for quite a long time and Premier League has been seen as the best league in the world and top club's star performers was mostly English and when you put them together they just don't perform. It's so strange. They failed to qualify for Euro 2008 then predecessor Steve McClaren left and Fabio Capello came in and him and the team did extremely well in the World Cup qualifying matches scoring 35 goals and losing just once against Ukraine and destroying Croatia. Wayne Rooney scored 9 goals and was top form for his club Manchester United. So the expectations are obviously high. But they all flopped at actual World Cup it self. So we all bash them like always. There's been heavy criticism towards the FA and the Premier League and Youth is the future and they need to be coached the right way. England doesn't need to copy or play just like Brazil or Spain but they need to take some of their elements. Anyways World Cup is over and won by Spain. Spain was underachievers but this time they ain't. First World Cup win for them. Now it's a summer friendly time and season will start very soon. Due to economic downturn, the recession only Manchester City is capable of buying new players. Most teams haven't brought much new players. Premier League is very successful and one of the best league amongst Spain's La Liga and Italy's Serie A now but I'd rather prefer to see stronger national team because I'm sort of patriotic person and never seen us winning the World Cup for the 2nd time. It means a lot to me and all English people. Club football has proved that you could buy success with a lot of money and kinda getting tired of it... Still nice to have strong club football but am I asking too much?!
