Because in theory everyone should be able to score a penalty. To me 'Golden Boot' means the winner has the 'Midas touch' when it comes to scoring goals,not just someone who takes the penalties to boost his chances of winning the thing.
Well obviously i can't name them,unless they're famous and you'd know them yourself,but i think many individuals in places like those 'fan parks' thought England could/would win the world cup. If they didn't why was 'It's coming home' so loudly emphasised? People actually thought we were going to win the world cup. Even i got those thoughts when we reached the semi final,but they soon diminished after we went in 1-0 up at half time,when we should've been 3-0 up.
If that's aimed at me i think i've stated in the past that by no means do i consider myself an expert on anything football related,well ok apart from shirts maybe.
. I rarely criticise managerial tactics as i'd be clueless myself on how to put out a team. I was just offering my opinions about the world cup and peoples expectations. Call it more of an anthropology observation,rather than a football tactics one.
I think those in the fan parks probably had "hope" rather than "expectation". You're reading way to much into it. Everyone had fun and got carried away for a few crazy weeks, whether you were a "regular" supporter, or a casual fan, we all felt some hope and sang some silly songs together. That's whats great about football. Isn't it?
Don’t worry about it.
Watching every kind of sport under the sun.
Eating like Henry VIII.
Messing about with chainsaws.
I want your life!
I had an apricot tree that decided to cleave itself in two, so had to tidy up the mess.
