Another shambles

Driving to work this morning, Sven was on the radio talking about his preparations for next year's World Cup. He said that the biggest factor counting against us in the last World Cup was the players being tired. So what the hell was the point of throwing in a friendly this early in the season? It could only be a disaster and so it has proven to be.

We are only one game into the Premiership so the players are not match fit and possibly not even motivated for an England friendly. Many of them will have to turn out for their clubs this weekend, they won't be giving 100% then - and for what? What has Sven learned? What has been gained? English cricket puts us on a high, English football brings us down to earth.
