Best Logos of the Best International Soccer Teams

1. Classic and beautiful.






2. Simple yet complex. Again, can't go wrong with a lion.



3. Much needed new design is now complete. Much better than previous one.







4. Pretty because of the 5 stars representing 5 world cups.




5. Birds always make for a good logo. But this logo is getting old now. New one is in order.





6. Another one past it's prime, but the leaves around the logo add some class.




7. Actually too regal for a sports logo, but it's better than the next logo.





8. Just a terrible design that would rank in the 4th percentile or so worldwide.

Not Enough English in England

What is it with the lack of English players and coaches on the top teams in the EPL?

10-15 years ago there were plenty on the top teams. But now there are but a few at most in the starting lineups and first teams. Hell, Arsenal practically have none and regularly field a starting XI without an Englishman.

And there's the coaches. Apparently English coaches are not qualified or competent enough to coach the top teams nowadays:

Man U: Ferguson = Scottish
Arsenal: Wenger = French
Liverpool: Houllier = French, Benitez = Spanish
Chelsea: Gullit = Dutch, Vialli = Italian, Ranieri = Italian, Mourinho = Portuguese, Grant = Israeli, Scolari = Brazilian, Hiddink = Dutch
England: Eriksson = Swedish, Capello = Italian

When England did have a home manager, they picked one of the worst, Steve McLaren. His decisions during his tenure, especially during the Euro qualifying campaign only showed his incompetence.
