On the Terry fiasco, wonder how his mate super frank feels about being incapable of opening a defence?

Already addressed it in his press conference, and as he said, I think he understands what Terry meant by it.

Why don't people realise the game wouldn't have then panned out exactly the same as it did - the penalty was only a minute or two after the miss, it wouldn't have happened if Yakubu had scored earlier.

Mark Bright is an idiot. I might have watched that game if it wasn't him co-commentating.

Upson.
Gerrard on the left of a four man midfield.


What a breath of fresh air those South Koreans are. They are delighted to have qualified. They are what football at this level should be all about. Pride and passion. Something we had in squads in years gone by, but now is few and far between. This England squad is better than a lot we had years ago but the thing is, they had passion and will to win, they would bleed for the shirt and put their head where most of this lot wouldn't put their feet.

Because Mark Bright has the intellect of a 3 year old? All the guy can do is point out the blatantly obvious. Awful pundit.

Or at least, he notices and points out the obvious after 3 replays, as if he's the only one, when the rest of the viewers saw it on first look.

I think its right that the England players express their views if they are unhappy, but to Capello, not the media. Ok, if they dont like being told the team only 2 hours before the match, dont like his regimental regime, dont like his training routines, then they should tell him.

As David James said the other day, they've had two years to complain about that because it's been the same since he took over.

His sentence construction is very poor as well. How many times does he say "you have to say" and "just" this "just" that. Can't stand the fella personally. Only watched the South Korea - Nigeria game as I have a dual forecast multiple bet that included South Korea and Argentina to get out of this group.

Unlike Craig Burley, who once he has made a snap decision doesn't change it, no matter how many replays show he's wrong.

Which years did England have a passionate squad?
