Dr. Gonzo 8,190 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 6 minutes ago, Stan said: I think the Lukaku picture was where I saw the air of arrogance, to be quite honest. As if you'd won the argument just because people hadn't replied yet at the time... Like how you generalise that footballers are liars or thick? Tbf I think I made the generalisation that footballers are thick. And also tbf to me, I've listened to footballers speak before on the media... for pretty much most of my entire life. So while I typically hate sweeping generalisations... I stand by that one. Footballers are thick, but it's to be expected when they put most of their focus into football rather than an education for so much of their early lives. I actually don't blame the players though, I blame the clubs. They're doing a disservice to young men (and women now) because not everyone is going to make it at the level they're training for... and that's often why you hear about clubs having academy graduates who struggle later in their lives when they don't make it in football. They're victims of the industry imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youre being very generous. The English there is definitely worse than in countries like Germany or Scandinavia but I just checked with Spain and the English proficiency is not bad. I do agree it's a bunch of countries where it's far easier to know the native language but I don't think it's impossible to get by. In South America on the other hand it definitely is barring Argentina. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I'm saying is, even if they can get by, people shouldn't be expected to learn English in the countries mentioned and it should be the other way around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I get your point as well as @Dr. Gonzo and agree with it, but there are many people who will conform themselves just knowing English. This is a sad truth with a lot of people.
