After years (dacades?) in the football wilderness and as the laughing stock of the Euro 2000 tournament, England's soccer squad was transformed into a world ranked winning machine that was undefeated in all international qualifying matches for four and a half years and only lost four (admitedly pretty crucial) matches during the total stewardship of Sven-Goran Eriksson. His thanks for this was to be ridiculed and driven out by eliments of the British tabloid press and those members of the British public who didn't look past the hype and consider the reality of this quiet and dignified man and his verysignificant achievements and results.
The Sven/Becks years are already looking like a Golden period for English football as recent results look like a repeat of pre-2000 history?
It will be the height of irony if Sven accepts one of the many other national teams invitation to turn their team around in a similar way and takes them on to knock out the England's hopes in future international tournaments?
I wonder if he will take an interest in any of the British clubs who are runoured to want to engage his winning ways after the way he has been treated by some in the UK?
