Robert Greene has bucked current trends. He has refused to blame foreigners for the failings of the English national team. He is going after an even more pathetic cohort: gamers. He is pinning the downfall of the Three Lions on video game consoles such as PS3 or X-Box. Branding the country as lazy, he feels that today’s youth spend much too much time playing football virtually rather than actually.
Greene added, "Other countries seem to bring on world-class players, countries like Argentina and Brazil where often it's football or nothing.”
While Britain ranks in the top ten richest countries with a per capital income of nearly $38,000, Argentina and Brazil, who are 64th and 74th respectively, have paltry PCI’s ranging from 3000-4000 USD. “It’s so unfair that Brazilian and Argentine parents put more emphasis on food rather than entertainment,” lamented the uncapped stick minder. “How can England hope to compete with these selfish nations who refuse to purchase luxury items that equate to a paltry one-eighth of their yearly pre-tax income.” he added.
Realizing that poor kids in Buenos Aires and São Paulo can’t afford these systems, which would keep them off the streets and glued to a television set were they unfortunate enough to be blighted with the curse of wealth, Green has started a campaign to ship the games to the poor sections of these two great superpowers. "If they start working on their hand-eye coordination and Type II Diabetes rather than their foot coordination and stamina, they are bound to suck as bad as we do,” surmised the West Ham’s keeper.
