Here' something another English fan has for the rest of us. He's from Harrogate, GBR and goes by the screen name TerminalDecline which sounds about right. And here's his rant in a forum discussing two-footed tackles:

Two footed challenges?

surely it's the fault of zonal marking. If a defender is marking man to man, he's too close to get a proper 2 footed challenge in, but marking a zone, means that your average tackle will start from further away, making a 2 footed lunge more likely and more dangerous.

Now, zonal marking... that'd be the fault of squad rotation. If a manager doesn't know his own team and doesn't know the opponents team, it's easier to set up his tactics based on marking areas of the pitch any player runs into rather than the player themselves.

squad rotation, that's the fault of foreign managers, the same foreign managers, who are bringing in too many foreign players...

foreign players dive too easily, especially under robust (but fair) two footed challenges by plucky english defenders. unlike those dirty (and cheating) two footed challenges by foreign defenders on plucky english attackers. which should be outlawed.
