The football world cup is sixth months away yet the hype has began. The most interesting aspect has been the the hypnotic delusion that has thudded into to the English psyche. England are now third favourites for the world cup after Spain and Brazil. Added to this the English football manager has been made coach of the year. The sense of optimism is astounding.
What is the English optimism founded on. A faultless qualifying campaign. In perspective that is good. However England have the richest league in the world with highest profile players. The problem is England have one set of good players that is it. Strength in depth wins world cups in any sport, unfortunately England do not have it.
