An American pundit has gone viral again, this time for slamming England’s performance against Norway
Mike Grella, who played in England and the MLS, believes England are ‘not very good at football’ despite the Three Lions reaching the semi-final of the World Cup
Grella went on a passionate rant explaining how England’s performance was ’embarrassing’ despite admitting they could actually win the entire tournament.
He said on CBS Sports: “The good news is you have two games left, right? Semi-final, final, and you can actually win a World Cup first time since 1966. That’s a positive, you’re competing, you’re finding ways to win. Bad news is you’re not very good at football.
“You’re not good with the ball, you’re not good in transition, you leave unbelievable spaces in between the lines. It was a, not by my standard, because I’m happy with whoever wins, but by English standards, a really poor performance, really poor performance. The impressive part is how poor you are and able to get away with the win.
“It’s like having the world’s ugliest daughter and saying, oh, you’re so beautiful, baby. Yeah, you’re beautiful. Don’t listen to what anyone’s telling you, you’re beautiful.
“Let’s call a spade a spade here. That was embarrassing, the way you got through that game. I mean, you made Norway look like world beaters in that game.
“So the credit is two more games, you can win a World Cup, credit to you. You have unbelievable superstars in the team, in Kane and Bellingham, and they showed that. But through facets of the game, not good enough at all.
“And then what about the goal taken away for Norway as well? So a lot of talking points, but again, you’re there. So congratulations, I suppose…”
