Is this really true any more? I don't think that's been true for a decade, since McLaren in 2008. Certainly no player has been scapegoated in a long time, and while Hodgson was seen as the problem in the last two tournaments, I think that the reaction was a resigned acceptance that he's a nice chap who wasn't quite good enough, rather than vitriol.Not sure if this is true but it seems like In England there always has to be a scapegoat if we fail, there always has to be a fall guy to take our frustrations out on.
