knew this yesterday news was soon, but still a sad day when it broke. a great man & polite despite being treated disgracefully by the newspapers. as england manager I'd say laid the foundations of what we take for granted as qualifying as a given & expecting to be in the latter stages of major tournaments. as it was final day drama, play offs & not even being there before him
although sven may feel he underachieved as england boss. he was far better than 3 Quarter final suggest, he was unlucky to run into brazil with an inexperienced team 4 years later we probally beat them & i feel that euro 2004 was a missed opportunity sven should added international trophy to his glittering club career
