Talk about Size 5 balls. Via the Goal blog over at the NYT comes this from CONCACAF head Jack Warner about England:
“It’ll be Italy, Spain, or it might even be France. Nobody in Europe likes England. England–who invented the sport - has never had any impact on World Football. England at no time has had the love and support of Europe. For Europe, England is an irritant."
Jack Bell puts it in context, but it's more fun on its own, really.
