I do wonder how wise it is for British teams to try to play Europeans at "their" game.Quote:

English football is rubbish, of course, but it's full of foreigners. So does that mean foreign football is rubbish too? Can we really have it both ways or is it all, in fact, your (the supporters') fault for demanding we ape the Euros' more measured and thoughtful style of play, while at the same time urging our teams to show more passion and get stuck in.
I suppose that will all be answered in May when Leicester City are dancing in the streets of Cardiff :-|
