    England haven't won anything since 1966 . Interesting take that it's all Harry Kane's fault.

    Apparently he's the only BdO winner of the last 30 years to have never won a major international tournament.

    Playing for England is the international equivalent of playing for Tottenham though.

    Who has had that take? That would be mind-numbingly stupid. Almost as bad as suggesting that someone had said that, when they hadn't.

    England are perfectly capable of losing every tournament from here to eternity, without it being any one individuals fault. Personally I'd prefer more than one option to how we lead the attack, and not to have a german holding the leash. YMMV.

    Don't expect me to fact check shit I read on the internet. (Also Nedved, Shevchenko and Modric, so clearly that was bollocks.)

    Major competition? Did some of those win the European cup?

    I don't think Ukraine, Czech or Poland have ever won anything.

    But surely the champions league/European cup is a major international trophy?

    I don't know. I wish I hadn't said anything. Stop picking on me.

    Michael Owen won the UEFA Cup and the Super Cup if you're happy that counts?

    Anything involving balloons is bound to be a clown show.
    Meanwhile has anyone else other than Shakin' Stevens won the Green D'or?

    It's not hard, it's a prize for the best footballer in the world not the amount of big trophies. If it were the latter Jonathan Greening and David May would have been in the running. The prize you get for the trophies is the trophies.

    Messi won in 2012 with a Copa del Ray but nowt else. Cristiano Ronaldo with nowt in 2013.

    Amidst all of the many 'WMD speak' his 'we are now relying on Jonathan Greening' was an all-timer.

    Bellingham now has 50 goals (and 37 assists) in 154 games for real madrid. While also running the fuck all over the place and influencing every phase of play.

    Hot take - Jude Bellingham is good at football. (Bur will probably be trading on his reputation by the time he hits 30.)
