The_Rev Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I'm sure six or seven million quid a year would be all the motivation he needed. I'd run ten miles a day barefoot for that kind of money, and I'm woefully unfit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted March 2, 2012 Moderator Share Posted March 2, 2012 We have all seen how the world stops when the world cup is on. And to a lesser extent when the Euro is on. Does it? Really? I've hardly watched anything of recent WC's and Euro's, doubt I'll bother much this year either. International football apart from the odd game is incredibly DULL. Why? Because most international teams are collections of individuals, they don't train enough together to be a team, squads are rarely stable and players are often asked to play semi-unfamiliar roles to accommodate the mangers style of play, it all adds up to a rather sterile game of football imo, largely defensive minded with little in the way of teamwork and guile. tbh International football is very much like watching the Villa right now.

You personally might not be interested when the world cup is on, but I think it is fair to say most people are. It is all everyone is talking about, its all over the tv, people who dont normally care about football all of a sudden become big fans and experts. People are very patriotic and many get emotional when their country loses. And this is the case across many countries, not just England. The world does stop when the world cup is on. Ask any pub landlord when his most profitable times are. The summers when a big tournament is on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voinjama Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 It just makes me laugh, that because he isnt interested in the world cup, he thinks no one else is either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ml1dch Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Except he's not saying 'no one is interested' is he? He says that 'not everyone' is interested which is correct. I think it's great, but I know scores of people who couldn't care less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ml1dch Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 OK, I've re-read his post and he definitely doesn't say "no one is interested in the World Cup". I'm very certain of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talked up constantly but yet his own fans boo'ed him and wanted him gone at one stage of his United career. Reinvented himself as a central midfielder except he wasnt any good at that either. At his peak he was a very good player, but his peak was about a third as long as is remembered now and there are many other united players who were miles better than him but dont get the recognition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giggs was a steady performer. Rarely put in lower than 7/10 performances every week. That's what made him so impressive. Giggs was never really a stats guy. Didn't score or assist in the high numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
