People used to say that Whitts did not like football, I don't think that's true, but Bale has struck me as someone who's fallen out of love with the game based on what's happened with him at Real Madrid Spurs. To be more accurate, I'd say Bale has fallen out of love with club football because I still think he enjoys playing for his country, but the problem is that what is happening to him at his club is bound to impact on his performances for his country and I'd have very low expectations of what he could do in the Euros this summer if they go ahead - after that, I wouldn't rule out him retiring from the game.
