Sir Trevor Brooking has said it is unrealistic to expect England to reach the semi-finals of the 2010 World Cup.
The Football Association's director of football development said the squad lacked the depth of talent to compete.
"I thought there was a lot of quality football in Euro 2008 and the fact we didn't qualify was almost a reality check," Brooking told Sky Sports News.
This is the F.A Director and He has no belief in the england team, What a defeatest loser he should be booted out of his job. The reason England didnt qualify for Europe is because they Got in a amateur (mclaren) to do the job, The reason England has flunked has been down to the shambles of the F.A and its backroom goings on. The players are there and are well capable of doing the business.
Im not even from England but that was a total disgraceful statement, Anyone agree with that?Trever brooking says he Doesnt think england is good enough to reach the semis in the next world cup?
I would say that the FA director of football development ( Brooking ) would have to accept quite a lot of blame for that fact because the game has not been developed to it's full potential in this country. I agree with you on the reasons for our failure to qualify for the euros though * from me
i disagree england will reach the semi's alright, and they'll go out on penalties...i called it first folks, put money on it if you can.Trever brooking says he Doesnt think england is good enough to reach the semis in the next world cup?
He's only speaking the truth, thank god someone can
I would probably say he is correct, people in england think our team is alot better than what they are. Its a fact that they play better for their club than what they do for the england team. Until they all step up their game for their country they wont win a tournament for a while. On paper we do have a quality team, but their performances are no where near as good as it should be. I hate the hype before a major tournament, when everyone thinks england will win. Because they wont.Trever brooking says he Doesnt think england is good enough to reach the semis in the next world cup?
I commented once before about his lack of professionalism with statements putting the National Team down..I was shot down in flames. I still think Brooking is a sad sack, as are many in the FA.
No matter what he thinks or believes, he should not openly opine anything that will undermine the confidence and effort of the manager and players. Saying you have no confidence in the manager you appointed and his ability to select players who can do the job, and that's really what he is doing, is disrespectful.
Maybe but:-
He was being honest although a guy in his position should keep his trap shut
On the other hand,until someone in the FA admits and faces up to it, nothing will be done about it.
Sir Trevor was spot on, England are not at the moment good enough to win a tea cup, yes, there are lots of reasons why, which need sorting and can be sorted only by being honest and facing up to them.
The days of 'Its about taking part that matters' have long gone along with 'playing for your nation is an honour' its now
HOW MUCH AM I GETTING PAID
Sorry but its true, You were right re the manager but look at the top 4 teams in the premiership, not an Englishman in charge, and the manager is so important, remember Alf and what he said about the '66 cup squad???
"I havent picked the best players but I have picked the best team"
England need to keep that in mind
He may or may not be correct
One thing for sure, England does lack in depth
To be fair England's failure to qualify for Euro 2008 was rather caused by tactical errors in the last qualifier against Croatia
With all respect to McClaren and Carson, giving a goalkeeper debut in a do-or-die game was definitely not the best possible option
Which is made worse with the fact that the experienced Robinson and James were available
And true enough, Carson made a basic mistake which gave Croatia their first goal and started England's downfall
So we cannot really put lack in depth into blame for England's Euro 2008 failure
It would be wise to assess Sir Trevor's opinion before making any judgement
Remember that he is one of the very few who understand English football inside out
