Yep. As did Italy and Spain, before Greece, Algeria and Switzerland.
That's the way it goes sometimes in tournament football.

Haha. That guy was an ASS.
Ho! Give us 8 years there must be gems among our youth
Europe has our ticket u21 but there's still hope w all our billion fat kids watching tv 11 were inspired
I BELIEVE IM THIRSTY FOR BODDINGTONSCome on everyone. Let's get some proper support going around here for our teams.

Usa starting frm scratch has to play rudimentary football I think that's why they model after ze germans and went w german coach thats my theory
Maybe they should have a colonies vs the monarchy cup
We've got the commonwealth games for that.
Huh! Scotland's got as much chance of winning it as either of you two deluded little nations ie none!
Altogether now,
"We're shi' and we know we are"
I went on this website for the first time today. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]
I was very, very lost. Who are these clubs and who are these players? I went to the "Kids" page because it helped to simplify the ways of English Premier League fandom.
I'll tell you why we have half a chance I'm serious now kids play in youth leagues then middle school high school and college we don't have farm system like barca but kids competing fortheir schools and a lot of them same as any sportHuh! Scotland's got as much chance of winning it as either of you two deluded little nations ie none!

I think one of the reasons to get a tattoo is to commemorate an important experience in your life--positive or negative. He'll be dreaming about that shot the rest of his life, so it makes sense as a tattoo. Strange that he went with text in English. Where is he from?
We have a chance because we are American and we believe we can do anything. Very few people in this world believe they can win the world cup, and believing is half the battle.
Man, our kids have been kicking football's around streets and gardens since most of them could stand...my daughter has been playing organised club league Gaelic Football since Under -8.
Kids football clubs here and in Scotland hold trials for membership, even in the local Bogtrotters FC Under 8 team, it's competitive to even join the club never mind get in the team....We have school teams all the way through at all levels in addition to clubs...We have official FA sponsored coaching courses, summer coaching schools and camps....neither Scotland nor Ireland have their names on anything other than match programmes.
I don't know what it is about, but it's not about structure and youth systems.

Yep, the psychiatric wards and prisons are full of people who believe they can do anything .....because, well because they do.
And realistically, the players don't believe it...They are professionals and whatever anyone else might think, professionals tend to have a realistic understanding of expectations and limitations.
When you get people such as media whipping up this "We can win this because we can" stuff, you end up with a self - perpetuating toxic environment of unrealistic expectation such as we laughingly see around the English national team. Every time.
You won't win because you think you should.
