English Football

So another game watched and the spectators can’t cope

The game petered out and didn’t give us much hope

The F.A has set a target but is it a true reflection

After seeing the game it may need further inspection

 

Where did it all go wrong for the birth of football?

When are we going to have this so called windfall?

Every championship we enter this over hyped expectation

With defeat we turn to the next football generation

 

We get a vast amount of coaches through level one and level two

But then cost and experience halts the likes of me and you

Every coach expected to coach the same way

Like robotic coaches unable to have their say

 

Maybe I’m seeing this in its simplest form

You pass the ball and move surely that’s the norm

Complicating the game so players don’t understand

Six coaches on the side to give a helping hand

 

Other countries seem to have passed us by

So the question must be asked, how and why?

No investment in grass roots players left to rot

Tossed back from academies and now forgot

 

So what’s the answer to our football problems?

How do we lift this football nation from the doldrums?

Investment in grassroots is surely a must

We have to believe, we have to trust

 

School boy football is sadly in decline

We must not ignore this obvious sign

Less and less children wanting to play

The fun taken out of football such a sad day

 

I hope Greg Dyke wakes up this failing sport

Before we lose a generation of support

I love a tournament and watching my home team

But can we win it? Unfortunately it’s still a dream
