5 ways England can become serious World Cup contenders

Media Hullabaloo

Can Hodgson keep the media happy?

The 3rd in the To-do list for Mr. Hodgson will be to keep the British media under control. In the world of verbose media like today, even the smallest of news get more airtime than their 1966 world cup victory.

The media should be made a part of English contingent working away from the field. No player wants to go on the pitch with the fear of his fans shouting four letter words at him and his family; small hint – the word isn’t love.

Should England and it’s supporters really be disappointed at not winning a major competition? Do the media and fans over-exaggerate England’s chances just because it claims to have one of the best leagues in the world?

Maybe it is hard to come to terms with, but for many English fans, England’s chances look the same as they always have. So, the media should check themselves from illogical hype and expectations from a side with restricted capabilities, and they may just out do everyone else.
