So England have qualified for the World Cup, admittedly through an incredibly easy group that they should have walked, but that’s not what I’m here to talk about. I’m here to talk about the fact that after only two days the English media have already begun to undermine the team and attempt to ruin any of the good work they did in the last two qualifying matches. Now I want to go into journalism so to sit and slag off the press may seem strange, but the English press and their football team have one of the strangest relationships in the world. While other countries seek to help their team by holding off on information until after match days and so on, publications like The Sun appear to do the exact opposite. They decide to run with some daft racism story about something said at half time in the dressing room which the player himself has dismissed. So why do they do it? Do they want to destroy the confidence of the team? Do they not think that far ahead? God only knows.
