totally agree....

Italia 90 was also "my" special and emotional moment in footy, and footy will always be my fave (just cant get into rugby despite being a dozen times over the years)... I've just fallen out of love with England footy and the off field goings on and the failures on the pitch, but mostly the amount they get paid and dont seem to give a s**t..... the atheletes who get paid f**k all, have to fit in training before and after a normal job, have now set the moral high-bar for footballers, which is a good thing IMO. Be interesting to see how England footballers react to the love shown by the public to Team GB......
