Football is a simple game; 22 men chase a ball for 90 minutes and at the end, the Germans win.
- Gary Lineker
Means nothing now, given Germany have not won a World Cup since 1990 and a Euro since 1996 whilst France have won a World Cup and a Euro since then.
Germany still has an aura but not like they did.
Lineker was a great goal poacher but England would have to be the modt modern underachievers given their league their players and how it is perceived by them that it is almost a given for them to win any tournament they enter. Sounds much like English Cricket and Rugby.
