Fabio Capello will be spend a lot of time watching English players in Premier League games between now and next summer. And I can only imagine the pressure of being an England fringe player and knowing that Capello is in the stands checking you out.
Playing Premiership football is tough enough, but knowing that the man [...]

Places in Fabio Capello’s 23 man England World Cup squad are going to be tight. And I’m fascinated by those on the fringes, guys who you don’t think of as England players now but could make the squad with a good 2009/10 season for their club.
One of those guys is 22 year old West Ham [...]

Don Fabio has revealed his England squad to take on Holland in a friendly, and despite all the chatter regarding Michael Owen after his move to Manchester United and decent pre-season form, he remains unselected by Capello.
Probably a smart move to be honest – Owen has scored 4 goals in 6 games but in [...]

Gabby Agbonlahor has been drafted into the England squad to face the Ukraine on Wednesday, after Don Fabio sent Darren Bent and Emile Heskey home. Peter Crouch has recovered enough to start on Wednesday.
Agbonlahor has been desperately out of form as of late, the Villa striker not scoring since his last England call up, [...]

New England Squad revealed this evening for the games against Slovakia and the Ukraine. David Beckham is in and will finally surpass Sir Bobby Moore if he plays, Ledley King makes it even though he can’t train properly due to knee problem. Aaron Lennon earns a recall after his recent run of form, Carlton Cole [...]

Don Fabio has announced the England Squad to take on Spain on Feb 11th, and David Beckham indeed makes the squad, which also makes room for Everton defender Phil Jagielka (who has been busy making Torres, Drogba and Berbatov look distinctly average this season), and in-form striker Carlton Cole who has hit a bit of [...]

Hello everyone I am Will. Thanks to Daryl’s kindness, I will a second blogger for the greatest team ever: England NT. Whenever England lose I go into hiding for a few days so if England somehow ever manager to lose again, you might not hear from me for a few days possibly weeks. Few things [...]

Right Back: Wes Brown (Man Utd)
Centre Back: Rio Ferdinand (Man Utd)
Centre Back: Matthew Upson (West Ham)

Central Midfield: Owen Hargreaves (Man Utd)
Left Winger: Ashley [...]

Something just struck me about the whole “Beckham dropped” story. David Beckham was in Brazil today, promoting one of his soccer academies. Why would Brazilian youths need to learn about football from an Englishman? What in god’s name is he going to teach them?
“Alright lads, now we’re going to learn about thumping a long [...]

Fabio Capello’s first England squad selection is out, and it’s everything I’d hoped it would be. Here’s my position-by-position analysis:
Goalkeepers:
Scott Carson – Aston Villa
David James – Portsmouth
Chris Kirkland – Wigan
It was a foregone conclusion that Paul Robinson would be dropped from the England lineup, given his recent form, but it’s still amazing how quickly he’s [...]
