My country should not think about Euro2012... there are worser issues: for example banks lend money to football teams but not to honest families. I would ban that sport.

I'm aware of the "PIGS" and noted that you are from Italy. For me this abbreviation is abusive and degrading. I fully understand and agree to your point of view but the way out is not to ban the sport.

Why the EPL and FA? They allow too many foreign players to play. Why the FA? they've taken the creativity out of the coaching setup by strictly controlling who gets badges and how they have to coach.

Radical change is needed, but we are controlled by prats in suits and the old boys club.
Agree completely. It can only get worse too. The week the Euro's started the EPL announced they have just sold their TV rights for the next three years for £3.02billion!!! The previous deal was worth £1.8billion.

What is the problem? That is a lot of money. If the EPL spends only a tiny fraction of that money it would be more then enough to jump start a professional training program?

Do not ban the sports, ban the banks. They suck everybody dry all over the world.

I still feel that the FA appointed the wrong coach.

Rooney looked sluggish (looks overweight to me) and unfit to play the entire match yet he gets the automatic selection along with Ashley Young who also had a bad tournament and neither were substituted when it was clear that they were well below par.

Its a good job we lost, England v Germany......not a cat in hells chance!

IMO sports like football are still like opium for some kind of people. They cloud the real problems and serve as a relief valve for personal anger.
