      A real gent and much maligned when he was England manager . The only indicator that counts is what his players think of him - the fans are not too bright on matters like this - and they all obviously have huge respect and liking for the man.

      Yeah its a bit sad that hes not well but Im sorry, all this Sven love in by all you guys is cringe. He had arguably the most talented England squad ever and he flopped big time. An absolutely horrific manager. I bet none of you are actually Sven fans and are just getting gooey eyed because he's a bit unwell lol 😂

      @@chriswhiting1991what about scholes? Hargreaves was a good technical CDM but not as good as Gerrard, Scholes, Lampard, I'd have him on a similar level to Michael Carrick, but Carrick was more durable. The only formation which would have worked was 4-1-2-1-2 but SGE not innovative enough to see it. Having said that a good effort, injuries in 2004 to Rooney was critical, bad refereeing and decisions in 2002 and 2006 cost England against good opposition. Could have knocked out Brazil in 02 but Ronny fluked that free kick...

    Sven was one of the most important coaches in Portuguese football history.
    He brought state of the art training methods and football knowledge for the league in the 80's. He was passionate, but always rational and even kind.
    He is beloved by Benfica supporters and respected by his rivals. Absolutely consensual. A class act.

    I know a lot of people throughout the years have always talked about Sven not being at the same level as a Ramsey, Robson, Venables etc but for people my age growing up as an England fan, Sven was the man. We always hoped that somehow he'd find to gel all these great players together and find a winning formula in the World Cup or the Euros but alas it never came. I can still remember being devastated when we lost on penalties to Portugal in the World Cup in 2006 especially knowing that it was going to be his last tournament as our manager and even now I can still see a younger me, sitting in front of the TV hoping we'd win with 10 men after Rooney got sent off, Beckham went off with injury I think it was, just trying to will the team to victory despite whatever tactical, mental, physical etc flaws we had at the time, alas not to be.
    Best wishes Sven to yourself and your family and friends. Thank you for some incredible memories both the good and the bad. You were the first manager I remember in charge of our national team and still possibly my favourite. All the best. Hopefully they can win the Euros for you this year.

    Im not English, but i like to see other home nations do well, i always liked Sven, and he said he has a 'year at best'. England have the top talent in the world, but in my opinion, they've always lacked the team togetherness. 'Too many individuals' i often hear. Denmark in 1992 had togetherness. Croatia WC 2018 had togetherness. Italy 2006. Spain 2010. Portugal 2016. Again, im not English but im an outside observer... Sven clearly loves England, I suspect he is gutted that he 'failed' in his own word. He may not make the Euro final... but hopefully he does. If youre going to play for something as a team, with a common cause, play not only for your Country... #PlayForSven. Im sure that would mean the world to him in these difficult times. All the best in Euro 2024.

      You are right England always has a team of individual players not a team. The only time post '66 we've had thst was the 5-1 against Germany. All the scorers were from Liverpool FC!

    I always knew that Sven was a gentleman in the truest sense of the word. And to watch him talk and reflect on his time, especially with England, shows how much he cares for us too. It was a tearful experience watching the players pay their respects to him, and it clearly meant so much much to him. Every fibre of me despises cancer, especially how it takes wonderful people far too young from this world.
    I pray that all terminal cancer sufferers find the love and support they need, and the strength to face their final days peacefully. 🙏🏻

    All the best to Sven, he is such a gentleman. My grandma died of cancer at the age of 63 and her diagnosis was very similar to Sven's. She told me that it's such a void feeling, just waiting for the end. I was just a kid, but I'll never forget that chat we had, just months before she went.

    We had some memorable good times with Sven and some obvious heartbreaks, it was never an easy job in those times with the rival players in the squad. It's beautiful to see our country, Ex players, Klopp, the fans, supporting and celebrating his career during his final times.

    What everyone has been doing for him has been really heart warming for his situation, and seeing him on the touch line at Liverpool for his game, it really makes me want to cry, as a manager I have a lot of respect for what he did for the England side and there was a lot of fond memories there, thank you for what you did for England, Sven !
