Entry: Learning Not to Choke Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/learning_not_to_choke#10377 Post contents: As soon as English players get the ball they want rid of it. They lack confidence on the ball and so they can't relax the way Croats, Portuguese, Italians, and others do. Because the British game is all about speed and excitement, "technical virtuosity", as Taki puts it, is sacrificed. I don't think it is going to change. 1966 was a one-off event. Sent at: 2008 07 20
