what is it about english players that just screams crap?

you just take one look and know they're absolute rubbish

not worth even a tenth of their spanish or south american equivalent

60 years without trophies saps them of all aura and vitality

>>158179500
Just look at England's list of "GOATs" and compare that to any other major football nation's
>>
>>158179500
All the best EPL players are foreigners. They're cucked.
>>
>>158179500
So why do they look world class when they go to any other league other than the prem?
>>
>>158179500
Something about Anglo culture puts physicality and athleticism above everything. This is true even for Americans to a certain extent.

Germans have a similar obsession but in a different way, it seems to be more about efficiency than straight up athleticism, while Italians are more about intimidation, idk,

The only ones I can't pinpoint are frogs because all their best players are imported so they all had varying styles.

Anyway, going back to England, players who get picked solely for their physicality often look clumsy as fuck. We call them grosso here, it's that tall and/or strong dude who can barely control the ball but still gets picked just to be an annoying fucker
>>
>>158190116
They don't
>>
>>158190580
Its because they win every week in their age groups
>>
>>158192437
Yeah but that doesn't mean much, specially if its due to physicality. What you should be looking for is technical proficiency, specially if a kid can move up in age group and not feel the difference.
>>
>>158192566
yes but people dont actually care about developing players, they care about money/their job. they want to win so they get promoted to manager, not help a player who becomes good a decade later while they got fired 7 years ago
>>
>>158192581
Ah yes, same shit happening here now
>>
>>158192348
>Kane
>Bellingham
>Gordon
>Rashford
>McTominay (he’s British same thing)
>Greenwood
There’s a lot more too who may not be world class but immediately play important roles whereas in England they would be backups or bottom half shitters
>>
>>158190580
Spanish football is all players walking around really slowly, doing meme tricks like in those old adverts for Pringles or whatever. English football is basically just body-slamming and sprinting. No English player can control the ball, and the Ballon d’Or prefers players who do homosexual stepovers rather than just wrestling their way into the goal. But actual TV viewers prefer the English style, so why worry?

OP is a pajeet from leicester who's upset because people on /cric/ are mocking the country his parents abandoned because india lost at home to west indies in cricket, cricket being the only sport played by all 1.4 billy """people""" in that "country"

>>158197169
This is a new phenomenon though. Back in the days, english players used to underperform when they moved abroad. Even David Beckham, who was one of the biggest english players in the 90s/2000s, was kind of a let down if you compare him in Spain vs the Premier League.

Could use both feet, almost perfect penalty conversion rate, almost perfect disciplinary record, scored bloody sublime goals, and is always one of the first /sp. posters to respond with "vax status?" whenever a sportsman has a heart attack or dies young.

Based. The absolute seethe from the media when he questioned the Ukraine war was amazing.

None of these players are world class.

Ironically Le Tiss would have faired far better in la liga than in the Prem.

quite to the opposite actually
they get exposed as soon as they leave the EPLel

Any updates on this after that pathetic showing vs PSG? These shitters only look good in their farmers league.
>>
>>158179500
EPL playstyle is less technical compared other leagues so any players that can run and pass are thriving

THe only thing your country doesn't produce is good coaches. Players? Nonsense, there's so many good players.
England team 2004-2010 shoul«ve won something.
yeah, yeah yeah i know Frank Lampard admited in the media there was no tam harmony, and it showed, but still...that team was so good, much bgger failure than Belgium

Gareth Barry
Stewart downing

Wayne Rooney

>>158190580
How'd you describe the Dutch style
>>
And Palmer, Dewsbury-Hall, Barnes, Bowen, Maddison, Grealish, Foden and Dibbling are all very technical players so its not like they cant produce them
>>
>>158310179
It's close to the German in the sense everything is thought out as a system and with maximum efficiency in mind, but that obsession goes beyond just making it, when they fail to execute their plans it manifests itself in the form of violence.

They are on the other side of the Argenigga coin, when everything goes wrong, just start hunting for legs
>>

That's why we didn't have any English coaches in that 2004-2010 period, still failed to win shit.

Good players < Good team

It's why Germany win (pre woke era) and your country was objectively worse with CRap7
Gerrard and co were all personal brands, 99,9% of those are toxic for the tan
