England’s dismal exit from Euro 2008 is all down to video games, according to a goalkeeper who didn’t even make the squad.
It seems that since Croatia put paid to England’s hopes of qualifying for next summer’s competition, everyone and their dog has offered their two quid’s worth in the inevitable blame game.
Now West Ham goalkeeper Robert Green has chimed in with this insightful quip – it’s all down to video games.
“We would have the best team if we could go into every household and throw away every PlayStation, Xbox and video game”, he said.
“Other countries seem to bring on world-class players, countries like Argentina and Brazil where often it’s football or nothing.
“In contrast we live in a country where we have choices and perhaps the will to do it, the need to escape your own situation, is not so clear.”
It’s got nothing to do with an inherent inability to keep the ball longer than five seconds then.
