Entry: Ana the Enchantress Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/ana_the_enchantress#29559 Post contents: Telling it like it is. The English are nothing more than "should have, could have, would have", when it comes to team sports. Sure they have a glitzy league, populated by some of the best players money can buy, but as a national squad, I wouldn't be betting any sheep stations on them. And as for their super star Beckham, there has never been a more overatted player in the history of the game. As for the Greek squad and Greek soccer in general.....I will say this. It is not out of coincedence that Greece's youth team has always done VERY well in international tournaments, even before Euro 2004. Greece lacks one thing that most major, and some minor European leagues possess....and that is good coaches and youth programmes. If the Greeks stopped lining their pockets with money, and invested in football clinics and coaches, the quality of players it produces would match any country in Europe. Sent at: 2008 12 02
