#4 British players are overrated
Trending
Once upon a time this was true—British players were highly overrated by its media. However, after years of failures in international tournaments, which bordered on self-mockery, British players are no longer overrated like they once were.
While the likes of Wayne Rooney and Theo Walcott were once believed to be the second coming of Pele, they are now labelled as the players who couldn’t live up to their potential. It is almost as if the British players intentionally failed in the international arena so that their media stopped being obnoxious hacks and became rational for a change.
Right now, despite stunning performances almost every week from the likes of Dele Alli and Harry Kane, we don’t hear the media making them look like Gods like they once did with the older generation of English players.
And thank God for that.
