Do they not teach English children....?

Question

...how to play with imagination when playing football? It's fine to drill in play after play of regimented tactics. It's fine to develop them into fantastic physical athletes ( who will likely get handsomely paid at the professional level because of this). It's also fine to teach the chlidren in england to play with motivation and heart.

But when will someone teach them how to use the right sides of their brains and add a little creativity and imagination in their play?

This is why the England national team is bad. It's not becuase of all the foreigners playing over there who aren't letting English lads develop. And it's not because the top tier athletes are too egotistical. And it's not JUST becuase the many coaches of years past have been bad.

Listen up: It's because imagination and creativity is not highly regarded in English football when it is taught to our children.

Do you disagree? Then give me an example of a player since 2000 who has this magic quality

Not to be sounding like I'm ranting, because I'm not at all upset that england lost. Specifically, my question is: Why is creativity overlooked in England?

Answer 1

Cant disagree another dissapointment from a team of technically brilliant players. But no real or what seems no real passion for there country and the 3 lions they carry on there chest

Answer 2

You are living in a dream world and your dream and everything else you wanted took a back seat when you got pregnant. You are on the verge of the most difficult 18 years of your life without a job, shacked up with a boy with no job, and neither one of you are even close to getting a college degree or professional license. IF you graduate from college while raising a baby, IF you pass the certification exam for RN, IF your baby is born healthy and not with a birth defect, IF your boy doesn't abandon you after weeks of 3AM feeding and no sleep, IF he doesn't lose interest in you because of another girl, IF you can afford all the cost of diapers, baby food, doctor's visits, baby clothes, day care, etc., IF you could find an English teaching position in Japan AND afford the cost of day care in Japan, IF, IF, IF, It is painfully obvious you have no idea how much hard work and how expensive it is to care for a newborn child much less how the real world operates. You will be lucky to be able to afford going to the grocery store and you actually think you can afford to go to Japan. Have you even priced the cost of diapers? Do you know a newborn can go through anywhere from 10 to 15 diapers in a day? Did you think babies only eat 3 meals a day at usual time as in the case of adults? Do you seriously think you are going to be able to afford an apartment, food, utilities, etc. for 3 people in Japan on a English teaching salary? Do you NOT understand that Japan's population is in decline because Japanese couples who make far more than an English teacher are NOT having children BECAUSE it is so expensive? And what makes you think a city of 50,000 in Japan is going to have enough demand to support very many English language schools or teachers? The smaller the market the lower the demand, the MORE choosy they are because there will be more applicants than openings. This means they pick from the top down - from the most to the least qualified. It also means if there is ANY doubt you cannot fulfill your teaching duties, they are not even going to bother considering your application. You and your child will be hanging on a thread for survival in the worse global economic times since the Great Depression. Your "fiance" did not even have the consideration or maturity to use a condom and you actually think he is going to change diapers, bathe the child, clean after the child, wake-up in the middle of the night to tend to a crying baby, all the while going to college, study, make the grades to graduate? Answer this: has he even bother to stop by a bookstore or library to read about the caring and raising of a child?

Answer 3

English children are not taught anything any more they are allowed to learn. Competition has all but died out in school sports because of the PC brigade. If you want a first class football team to play for England figure out how to get the foreigners naturalised as English as soon as possible before the game disappears further down the plughole.

OK, I think someone's a little pee'd off with the england game result. This was hardly a question- more of a rant..

Just let it go.. 0-0
