The overpaid Premiership stars in the England football team have now been exposed. Before the World Cup 2010, we kept hearing about how our team of World class players were capable of beating anyone and winning the tournament. How wrong the media were. The players are a mixture of World class chokers and average Premiership players.
Rooney, Terry and the rest of them look World class when they are playing alongside their domestic clubs’s foreign contingents. Take the foreign stars out of those teams and the English players would be shown up for what they are, i.e., not as good as we are led to believe. It is not Gerrard, Lampard and co that makes the Premiership the best league in the World.
Fabio Capello is not a bad football manager. However, he has got most things wrong where the World Cup is concerned. Firstly, he made errors in selecting the final squad. Leaving out Theo Walcott was a terrible decision. Defenders do not like pace and Walcott has it in abundance. He would have been the perfect alternative to ineffective displays by Rooney, Lennon and Wright-Phillips.
There were far too many average players in the squad masquerading as international footballers. Jamie Carragher was never deemed good enough by previous managers with very good reason. As for Glen Johnson, here we have a right-back whose weakness is defending! If he is the best right-back in the country then we have got serious problems. Then we come to Gareth Barry who has rose to prominence due to Owen Hargreaves injury.
The excuses have started already. Apparently the players were tired. One minute they are complaining of boredom, then after being humiliated by Germany, it is because they were tired. Whatever the reasons behind the poor performances, Capello is paid a huge salary and has failed spectacularly. The fact he still needs an interpreter to speak English is worrying to say the least.

Choosing a tactical manager is useless as the players are not technical nor tactical a motivational manager woudl work best who can get the best out of what they have
I don't think Capello is the type to give a pre-match or half-time motivational speech. After all, he is still not a fluent English speaker.
England never got going and succumbed to the pressure. I'm looking forward to seeing the squad for the friendly against Hungary in August - will there be any big name omissions?
Lets prevent England from future world cup performances as dismal as the 2010 World Cup in South Africa!

It will be interesting to see who's dropped from the squad after all now is the time to let youngsters play to get some new talent into the squad no point carrying on with this lot they'll be too old next time round and if they cant do it when they're at their peak what chance do they have
The England team against Hungary looked pretty good on paper. I was pleasently surprised at how much dead wood Capello has discarded.
nice blog!
