See Theo Run! Run, Theo, Run!

May 9th, 2006 | By: Shawn | 2 Comments »

From Soccer Weblog (who’s had a great response to the England squad’s announcement), this remarkable YouTube footage of Theo Walcott breaking ankles and raining in goals for Southhampton. Stunning stuff. The lad’s a bit special, no doubt, but it’s still a gamble.

Wonderful footage. I’ve got to say that I’ve been a bit critical of including Theo in the WC squad, and I stand by that criticism.

But, having seen that video, I need to give the youngster his due – He’s pretty good.

And I do wish him, and England, great success.

Let’s keep in mind that compilation videos only show the great stuff. He may be capable of flashes of brilliance just like any other player but how does he perform game in, game out? Does he go missing for long periods of time? Does he lose a lot of possession with his back to goal because of his size?

I don’t know the answers and I do really hope he goes to Germany and sees some playing time. Just trying to keep some perspective too, tho.
