I Blame The Media

May 31st, 2006 | By: Shawn | 1 Comment »

Literally: I blame them.

I work in the media business and I know it’s rules. But I watched the friendly against Hungary and I simply cannot understand how the British football press is capable of articles like this:

“Chances of Glory in Germany Slip From Slim to None”

and

“England Victims of Constant Tinkering”

I mean, I wasn’t watching Brazil out there on Tuesday, but fuck me: this was not bad football, particularly in the second half.

Tight-assed bastards like these two deserve to follow a losing team. England may not be world-beaters, but they deserve better than this bullshit.

I agree, the media are just trying to pre-empt that if England do fail (and I’m not saying they will, in fact i’m quietly confident) they have the ‘I told you so’ headlines.

Also they generally know that any WC England news will get read, so it’s poor journalism at best!
