EPTI didn't mean we're supposed to be the best
In terms of where we should be, we should be top 8 every world cup/tournament with how much this is our best sport etc, best league, everyone plays it so much academy etc

I mean that team on paper "isn't shit" and International football seems to be based around defending (or has been in the past). I hope this years world cup (next summer) is going to be like the confederations cup, lots of attacking play but still some great defending, but GOALS GOALS. Not boring 1-0s or scrappy games...guess if England don't get there that might happen Current record is: 1 win for Poland, 7 draws, 10 wins for England; goals: 11 for Poland, 28 for England.  I'm sure it will suck for us even more after Wembley match in October, where we only drew once  Also, England has population of about 55 millions; Poland has about 39 millions. The talent pool is comparable, but ours get wasted way more often. And by 'wasted' I mean it in both meanings of that word:  etc.The previous match against England sucked for both teams, but we managed to concede after the only shot you tried on our goal in first half. The draw seems fair, but frankly, that game was so bad, I'd award 0 points for each team if I could. | ||

When this guy speaks it's time to shut up and listen.Btw I don't think the EPL being the best league means the english players have to be equally as good. Because they aren't and haven't been for a while | ||

Because they aren't and haven't been for a while League and national team are two seperate entities just look at NL, Belgium and sometimes Sweden. Then look at a country like England who has a good league but their national team is pretty bad... | ||

I know for a fact that with a lot of German clubs at least it works like this: Adidas will pay X mio € to the club and sponsor it. The club only wears their gear and adidas is treated like any other sponsor. Shirts and shit will be sold by adidas with the club getting a margin (which is usually not very high, hamburg for example earns around 15 euros per shirt sold, for a 90 euro shirt) rest goes to adidas. I am fairly sure that the principle is the same with all the other clubs only that the sponsorship money is higher. What I am getting at is the party who directly earns the most out of the Bale transfer is adidas and not RM. | ||

That isn't the same for English players. They develop through the English league system and, for the most part, stay in the English league system. The PL is a lot more important to the English national team than the Dutch league is to the Dutch national team as a result of this, and I don't see it changing any time soon because why the fuck would an English player want to go abroad when they can be over-rated to the rafters in the PL just by being English..? EDIT: Changed "English football" to "English national team", and "Dutch football" to "Dutch national team" for clarity. The BPL is considered the best league in the world because there are disgusting amounts of money thrown around, which lets clubs there buy the best players from each region of the world. The money leads to a lot of good players, but these players are from basically every country. It has very little to do with how good the English team is. And the guy who tried to imply that La Liga is a better/more competitive league than the BPL is off his rocker. There isn't even a debate in that discussion. | ||

But the more shirts that are sold the larger the sponsorship deal with the clothing company will be next time around. Just as the more viewers a club gets for their games on TV the larger their TV contract is worth next negotiation go around. | ||

Let's compare how many cl's and uefa's each league has won over the last 10 or 15 years. Then let's see the win % between teams of the two leagues. Finally let's see in which the best football players are(messi, cristiano etc). Also, let's not forget how notoriously bad PL's mid teams are in europe, while atletico, valencia, sociedad, sevilla and villareal have all taken turns in the last 15 years dominating continental cups. I mean, Bilbao qualified over ManU of all teams last season, lmao. Then the english complain about their national team not achieving anything, well duh, you are overhyping them as hell, just like your league. | ||

But you didnt talk about the quality of teams across the board. You said la liga is more competitive, perhaps across 4-20 it is but its not a competitive league per say. | ||

As in better players, better teams, better football(even though that's subjective). Hence my cup wins and % argument earlier. | ||
