Craig Burley

What really grinds my gears is when I see a player who doesn't back himself to either do a trick or try and get himself out of trouble, just fall over on top of the ball and referees just go, oh, that must be a foul.

And they give free kicks.

It really winds me up when I say that's not a free kick.

That's a player.

just sort of semi-giving up, semi-cheating himself by not willing to do a trick or not backing himself.

I'd like to see challenges be made again.

You know, legit tackles where 50-50 is not, obviously, as Craig said, back in our day, because I committed some horrendous two-footed tackles and deserved every red card I got.

And, you know, there was a million, you know, bad leg breaks back in the day, not what all meant, but because the tackles were absolutely crazy.

But the physicality has to return.

You know, the last time I checked, whether it's women's football, men's football, there's 22 athletes on a football pitch.

There's going to be collisions.

Let the game flow a little bit and let tackles be allowed as long as they're sort of semi under control.

I think for me, Kay, real quick, and I'll harp on it, and we talked about it briefly with the Spurs game and Kinski coming in, is goalkeeper, be a goalkeeper.

Keep the ball out of the back of the net, clear the lines when it needs to be cleared.

If you want your goalkeeper to be the best player on the pitch with his feet and keep the ball out of the back of the net, then I expect every striker to play like Messi, every winger to play like Ronaldo.

because you're only doing one thing you want now the goalkeeper to be best with his feet and the best goalkeeper as well forget about it let your goalkeeper be a goalkeeper if you have that odd goalkeeper that is fantastic with his feet then take advantage of it but don't ask somebody that is competent to do things that

is ridiculous let them be a goalkeeper for casey as an american which would be the worst result for the u.s at the world cup the u.s men's national team not making it out of the group or england winning the whole thing during our 250th celebration year as a country

look though those americans of us who obviously played a long time in england there's such a great rivalry between the u.s and england in you know i mean in anybody who's been there for a rider cup for you know things like that there's always this this great rivalry and

It's a little trickier for me because my kids have British passports.

So my kids are British as well.
