Soccer Tournaments

Capello struck down with McClarenism.

What a pile of shite.

I didnt watch the game last night live but saw the highlights. Some of the passing was pretty good but the massive hole in the centre will be ripped apart by better teams. Capello appears to have bottled it and gone with the “best players” route. Changes have to be made, here are two teams.

Hart

Brown Ferdinand Woodgate Lescott

Hargreaves Carrick Barry

J.Cole

Rooney Bent

Against the better teams we need to be able to keep the ball and not be too desperate to go forward and produce the “killer ball”. Players like Lampard, Terry, Gerrard, Beckham and Rooney (who yes I have added to my team but only out of lack of options) are sooo desperate to get the glory, score the goal, sell the papers, replica shirts and football boots that they have lost focus.

Kirkland

Johnson King Ferdinand Cole

Hargreaves Barry
Bentley                      Downing
J.Cole
Agbonlahor

Downing gets so much slack from England fans, I just don’t understand it? He’s the second best left footed player in England after Barry, scores and assists usually around double figures for Boro. Always impresses when he gets on and get this… Can cross with his LEFT foot. Players like him David Dunn, Carrick, Bent will never get a decent run of games for England as they dont possess the necessary “greedy-look at me gene” Because of this when they get a chance to play they usually buckle under the pressure of knowing that anything less than brilliant is more than likely to get them abused by the media which will usually go onto exile.

The teams above aren’t perfect by any stretch but i’d love to see Capello have the balls to do things his own way. If he expects this current crop to get to future world cup soccer tournaments he’s severely deluded.
