You geriatric feck.I'm actually a geriatric millenial but appreciate the compliment.

Man’s an idiot.
He also said you want more from a CDM than what Rice gives you, Well Casemeiro had 14 goal involvements in 45 games so basically 1:3 from a CDM, never saw Souness with a no look assist, Casemeiro is the best CDM in the world that’s why FIFPRO voted him in, Souness hates UnitedAt least Carragher had the mental capacity to admit he got it wrong about Martinez. Souness is just looking increasingly senile every time he opens his mouth to talk about football.
I applaud him for bringing such awareness about this horrible disease. He’s done a fantastic job in raising money too.What a lovely thing he's just done.

I know it will trigger half the people on here but fair play to him.
Has he ever spoken about himself as a footballer?
He seems to hate/think very little of quite a bunch of players, United-related mostly but not always.
Do you reckon he thinks he himself was all that?
His playing days were before my time. People tend to speak of him highly though.
Simple math says Germany (population 83 million) produces 15 quality players for every 1 player that Scotland (population 5.5 million) produces. So a whole squad plus 4 subs... yeah.
(And I'm no Grimm Sourness fan... he's not talking rocket science here.)

Football is the national sport of Germany and the national sport of Scotland is hating England so there is less focus on developing good football teams. Plus more people in Scotland go into England hating than they do football as it's more fun and has a lower bar to entry.
Duncan goodhew? I may be wrong of course.Sourness will never change. Fairplay for swimming the Channel. Older members will remember who was the first man to swim the channel (or should that be person?) as it was on match boxes. Captain Webb his name was, he died trying to swim across the river just downstream of Niagra Falls. So who was the second man (person)? Nobody ever remembers the second in anything, just like football trebles. BTW, SAF donated £20k to the charity Sourness was swimming for.
They don't need attitude, all they need are their skirts, which no self-respecting Englishman would be seen dead in
That's a brilliant explanation. And probably the reason why we like the Scots so much here, who desperately try to make clear with their whole attitude that they are not English

It's also misleading for Scotland anyway. They don't just have their own population to pick from, but also anyone in England who has a Scottish parent or grandparent - like Gunn, McTominay, Adams, Cooper...Denmark European Champions 1992 - Population size, ooooooh, lookie, Greeeeeeaham. The same as Scotland. What a bellend .....
Thats a very valid point, I would rep you if I could!It's also misleading for Scotland anyway. They don't just have their own population to pick from, but also anyone in England who has a Scottish parent or grandparent - like Gunn, McTominay, Adams, Cooper...
Thomas Burgess. I looked this up after reading the other poster as well.Duncan goodhew? I may be wrong of course.
It's sad really. When you think of the great Scottish players down the decades, you have to wonder why there is such a dearth of talent coming down from north of the border. The great English sides all had a cadre of Scots in the team and, of course, our two greatest managers came from there.
No proper investment at grassroots unfortunately. Sounds obvious or basic but fundamentally a lot comes down to that. Pitches are bloody expensive and a lot of parents can't afford to send their kids for football training on expensive pitches or with teams. The FA are hated up here, they should be adopting what the Dutch / Icelandic / Baltic countries FAs have done and look to invest, but hey ho
It's a crying shame. I grew up watching players like Law, Bremner. Crerand, Baxter, Lorimer, and, of course, the great Celtic side of 1967. Don't kids organize their own games any more, or has everything been regulated down the length of the grass on the pitch?
By his logic China and India should be absolutely pile driving all these Euro 2024 sides.

Do you genuinely not believe that population has an effect on sporting performance? Note - it has to be the number actually playing the sport (playing population), not the general population of a country.
Playing population and money are the biggest predictors of sporting success
