Sir Trevor Brooking will find, in years to come, that his intake of "better, more skilful players" have no concept of competition, and expect as much praise for losing as they would for winning. Let's do the Olympics without medals, next time, hey? These same policies have brought us the new recruits to the working world, those who have no concept of craftsmanship and being proud of their work, those who send letters from big companies, full of spelling and grammattical errors. Those who think it doesn't matter if pi is 3.1, 3.2, 3.3........ hey, lighten up, what difference does it make. I have a great suggestion! Take goals out of the game altogether! And teams! just put a lot of kids on the field and give each an equal number of kicks! in no particular direction... Let's elect presidents the same way, with no concern for past achievements.... Ohhh! sorry, I forgot... that's the way already... And thus we breed a generation of “adequate players”.
