Ich meine ja nur, seit mindestens 96 wird immer wieder davon geredet wie toll England doch ist, welche geile Kicker sie haben usw.
Dann vergeigen sie regelmäßig die Endrunden, trotz "goldener Generationen".
Dann schafft es Southgate 2 mal ins Finale (wird ja dann einiges richtig gemacht haben) und kriegt dann als recht erfolgreicher Coach dennoch auf die 12.....

Ein wie ich finde sehr, sehr guter Artikel hierzu und auch über die Hintergründe:

"There is no English school, no English way. The tactics and style must always be gouged out of the air, imposed, learnt by rote.

And while England have some very good players, this can be misleading. English players win things, but they do so with Rodri, Luka Modric and Erling Haaland next to them while being managed by Pep Guardiola and Carlo Ancelotti.

[...]

And moving a little deeper, it is probably worth having a think about the culture the England team is required to reflect. There is a basic contradiction at the heart of football coming home. What kind of home is this exactly? What would it really mean if England had won this tournament? What method is the rest of the world supposed to admire and copy here? Create celebrity players. Have no coherent coaching school of your own. Rinse your national sport as a cash cow. Neglect your grassroots. Perhaps the real reason football can’t come home is because no adequate home has been constructed."
