SvenGate
Whenever I read things like Svengate my first response is always, who gives a damn?
But after a while I realize that probably the majority of the British people do give a damn.
Especially when the scandal is about the head coach of the worlds “greatest” football team.
I mean they really arent the worlds greatest but the Brits think that they are, so how do you cope with the fact that they havent won a big tournament sins 1966? Well for one thing you can blame it all on the fact that the coach has made some mistakes in his personal life.
But really? After a hard analysis can you really still blame it all on the coachs personal life?
At least I dont think so. Sure some of the guilt has to fall on the coach, but thats natural because hes responsible for the game strategy. But a big part is also the players fault because as a coach you can stand and preach all you want in front of the players but if they dont listen what are you going to do? And then we have the media to thank for a lot of the problem.
I mean they havent made it better. I mean they are all preachy about Svens moral but did they ever think that it may not be so moral to hang ut people like that in magazines like that. Its not just Svennis. Actually I think thats really bad. But hey what can you do? Probably a lot.
