I think it all comes down to the fact that the players don't want to be there, they have just finished playing soccer one or two times a week for 10 months, they want to be lying on a beach somewhere in the Caribbean with their girl friend or wife and kids, or both their girlfriend and wife and no kids , not staying in a hotel in Lyon or where ever listening to Mr. Boring Hodgson go on about 343, or 532 systems and how were going to beat Iceland and Wales, could you imagine coming downstairs to the breakfast buffet and having to look at that old drip across the room every morning ?
Average Premier player now earns FORTY FOUR THOUSAND POUNDS A WEEK, and this bunch of losers that played in this years Euro's were all supposed to be above average, in fact they were supposed to be the best of the best of the best, (God help us) , so they are probably all earning around the TWO MILLION ++ pounds per year, and what does the English player get for playing in the Euro's , I read 1,500 pounds per man for a win, 1,000 pounds for a draw, and 750 for a loss, and a 100,000 each if they win the whole thing,which they appear to give to charity anyway ? Bit like me and you playing for 15 quid.
But your playing for your country, big deal done it all before 20 times, so what ,your asking me an England player to drag my butt all over France, playing every couple of days for a few quid, coming home to get abused by everyone in the media even me own granddad because he had a 20 quid bet on us beating Iceland, missing some well earned down time with the family before the next season starts, yeah let me hurry off to do that.
