England players visit Auschwitz...

How to motivate millionaire manboys.


Singing the National Anthem ain't gonna do it.


Take away their millionaire lifestyle and only make that lifestyle achievable when they deliver the goods for their country.

FA Chairman David Bernstein.

Is that a Jewish name ?



Ouch ! It fits !

Remember the dead, for as recently as the 90's genocide happened again in Europe, only in what was the former Yugoslavia, it wasn't Jewish folk who were murdered.

Proud to be English

Can't blame a Jew for not wanting to forget this, it's something we should all remember. Humankind's inhumanity seems to be part of human nature, has happened and still happens all over the world to some extent: Congo, Rwanda, Armenia 1915-16, Syria, Canudos (Brazil 1897), Israel/Palestine, British WW2 bombing of Dresden and other German cities, American Atomic bombs at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. There was never an army in the world which has not committed war crimes. Genocide, terrorism, massacres, bombings, torture, bullying, pillaging, looting, raping. If you wear a uniform or carry firearms, anything goes..

Should imagine the players were given the choice whether to go to Auschwitz or not, can not see they were in anyway forced to go, also don't think it would matter whehter they are millionare's , insensitive or completely brain cell dead, this would have been a truely humbling experience, and one that will stay with those who went for the rest of their lives.

Will it have any effect on England chances of winning Euro 2012, not one bit will it, the players will be focused on the football, and if we fail to win, it will be down to the fact the team simply was not good enough and nothing else.
