to be honest is playing for England the "privilege" it once might have been?
I'm not English so this is very much from the outside, granted.
From what I can see English people seem to hate the national team, the press do nothing but expect big then dig them out, "fans" turn on players in an instant especially if they play for a rival team cause "club football is everything"
it seems miserable, effigies of Beckham, Fans booing Rooney on the pitch, online abuse, racist abuse etc etc
he'd prob enjoy life more if he played for Scotland..
Just an opinion........... don't kill me.
