Two questions are being asked of last night’s meaningless friendly against the USA. What didn’t Fabio try out a few of the fringe players? And why was Becks given a gold cap in a box? As of last night there were 16 of them for sale on Ebay.
England eased past America they way they always should. When you look at the line up of the team it’s hardly surprising. We had seven players who played in the Champions League final for goodness sake - Rooney, Brown, Ferdinand, Terry, the Coles and Hargreaves in addition to Gerrard. How the hell could we not qualify for Euro 2008?
The answer of course is Steve McClaren, the Wally with the brolly. This man should be sent to the Tower. He is almost solely responsible for a summer of sorrow for all England fans. We say almost solely because the players are never held accountable for playing badly, that’s just the way it is. It’s always the manager who falls on his sword or rather feels the cold blade of the axe on his neck.
McClaren must be given a punishment to fit the crime. He should be forced to coach Derby next season.
no mclaren hasnt ruined our summer, arsenal liverpool man utd and chelsea have ruined our summer
Yes, think positive!
Depends on whether the players can be bothered putting in the effort for England as well as their clubs. At the moment some don't. The other dependent is Capello making a team rather ythan just playing 11 individuals. So far that I am afraid, he is not doing. So at the end of the day it will probably come down to who we play in the qualifiers. on the assumption we get it easy again, I will say narrowly - yes.
We PROBABLY have the most talented team in europe. A string of poor managers unwilling to try new things and bring in new players has hindered our performance recently and I feel Capello, if anyone, can rectify this. Not saying it will be easy but I think we will definately qualify.
Footballs a c--p game anyway. Overpaid load of rubbish the lot of them.
