The English mentality

[CleveleysPete]

A couple of phrases I've heard today that have really annoyed me
" Win or lose, it doesn't matter. boys have done brilliantly and will be heroes

" Whatever happens they are all winners"

Sorry lads that's not how it works. Get those phrases out of your head right now.
Second is nowhere - now go out and win it.

Yep, you get nothing for coming second

Show me a good loser and I’ll show you a loser.

2nd sucks !

 

[LimerickTangerine]

Id rather lose in the Semi or before that then the final

 

[SeasideMac]

It's about WINNING, not about taking part!!
️️️️

 

[Wizzerboy]

Maybe, just maybe, today will be the start of a national WINNING mentality

 

[CleveleysPete]

Banks, Cohen,, Wilson, Stiles, Charlton, Moore, Ball, Hunt, Charlton, Hurst, Peters.

All off the top of my head. The team from 55 years ago.

If you really want to be remembered you've got to WIN

I'm sure you could trot out the 1990 and 96 semi final team. There is a programme usually every 6 months shown on TV going on about them.

 

[CleveleysPete]

I was st the 1990 semi final and I can't trot out the full team with 100% confidence.

I could tell you the full team for Man United's 1968 European Cup WIN or for Man City"s 1969 FA Cup WIN

Literally not a single player or member of the coaching staff have said anything like that.

When my daughter competed in the reception (5 or olds) school sports day she romped home at the sprint & another couple of races & it was against boys as well. I walked towards where she was sat with friends & spotted a certificate with her name on it on the floor coming 3rd. When I gave it to her she discarded it again & said "I don't do 3rds"

Literally I didn't say a player or member of the coaching staff had done

So it doesn't really matter what we think.

 

[Lytham_fy8]

I hate it when women say that.

That's the idea though.

Lets face it, England simply aren’t going to win anything without at least a couple of Blackpool players in the Team/Squad!

 

[Chunkylad]

Yep, you get nothing for coming second

Show me a good loser and I’ll show you a loser.

Have to agree

I wouldn’t describe Kane Williamson and his team as ‘losers’.

 

[NewburyOne]

100% agree, we can discuss the merits of the campaign afterwards, tonight is all about winning, nothing else matters. Maybe Southgate should have taken the squad to Bloomfield Road to get advice on winning when it matters.
