Yeah, but only when he *had to* (because they were losing). Greece didn't actually have any ambition beyond defending with ten men and hoping for penalties or a miracle. England ended up in that situation after an hour or so, but didn't set out to play that way.

Phil Brown on 5Live last night wondering why German's and Italian's don't seem to come and play in the Prem.
"You look at Pirlo and wonder for the life of you why he's not come to England, is he um homophobic...".
I'm not sure that's really the term you were looking for Phil.

We lost to a better team, not a world-class team, an ordinary Italian team; with the exception of Andrea Pirlo I wouldn’t have swapped a single player for any of ours.

the contempt for reason is so extreme it is just
an entire team outplays another team and that is down to the one player who they have already heard of, it's like every player other than pirlo (and balotelli) does not really exist, the rest of the world is just a fungible collection of anonymous foreigns who just randomly coagulate into teams to play england every few years

yeah i did figure xenophobic as well. still, INCREDIBLY thick mistake to make, surely the word "homophobic" is ubiquitous now.
bright has a long history of saying dumb shit, he confused ireland and northern ireland last year then made it signifcantly more dumb when he got annoyed with people tweeting complaints at him, in a sort of "what's the difference anyway???! chill out!" way.
