England

Fabio Capello is the new England manager

   

Here’s the Times, the Guardian, and Football365. More to come from me later today.

    Great news for England. I have no doubt that we all will see a different (better) England team than we have seen for awhile.

    Capello is no nonsense. He doesn’t care if your name is Gerrard, Messi, Totti or Kaka it’s about the team, his system and earning your place.

    No-one can guarantee victories but I’m confident in guaranteeing that we will see a disciplined and organized England squad which we will not underachieve.

    Cheer

    [...] Capello all but confirmed (England WCB) [...]

  • Luis

    Sucks for you guys!

  • hawkins

    Luis sounds pork chop to me, correct?

  • Golazo

    Say bye you chances of quaifiling for the 2010 world cup

  • hawkins

    Easy Golazo, dont make me get all Falkland Islands on your a ss.

  • Golazo

    England must have picked the worst person for the job. haha hawkins Mclaren would do a better job for you guys haha you guys are screwed

  • hawkins

    Alright Golazo you forcedme to ruin the surprise for everyone. ENGLAND, both mother and father of Football will now win the World Cup in 2010. If other countries want to show up for the excercise thats up to them.

    Worst person fo the job? Obviously you dont follow football. Mr Capello (you better call him Mr.) is a champion wherever he goes, just google it its not hard for most people with an IQ over 36.

    Mr Capello will be good for the England squad. In the next tournament – pardon : the one a f t e r the next (next is EURO ‘08) they might even reach quarter finals. But not more. Why ? Because not even a very good coach can make much of a poor potential. England simply lacks really good players. It is as simple as that.

  • Daniel

    As much as it hurts me to see another foreigner take the reins of manager of England, this appointment immediately points into a direction of success. Fabio Capello is one of the most respected and accomplished managers in the world. He changes the attitude of whole squads with his no-nonsense approach, and with the respect he has, Capello will never hesitate to drop an underachieving star to better the performance of the team. If becks is referred to as goldenballs, then Capello would most definitely be regarded as “steel balls to the walls”. He dropped Beckham, and was man enough to bring him back into his Madrid squad to lead him to the La Liga title.

    He will remedy the debacle in central midfield regarding Lampard and Gerrard. They do not work together effectively, and too many midfield generals conflict with the overall play of the team. He will give players their chances, and reward those that maintain great form.

    Even though his staff will consist of mainly his trusted italian aides, i am confident that Franco Tancredi is the right man to solve England’s goalkeeping crisis (Ben Foster anyone?). Neri, Baldini, and Galbiati are extremely proven staff members that can only assist in the success of this squad. In regards to an English coach, hard to say who should be appointed, but someone like Stuart Pearce who commands respect from his colleagues would be a good appointment. I also love the suggestion of hiring Gianfranco Zola. With his esteem and knowledge of the English game, he would serve as an excellent assistant, especially since Capello is not fluent in English.

    In regards to Becks, if he performs, he plays. It is as simple as that.

  • Golazo

    You guys couldn’t quaifily for euro. How do you execpt to win it all in 2010. Are you Retarted?

  • Golazo

    It doesn’t matter what he has done. And if you know so much about him you’ll know he plays with two forwards two wingers only one midfield player and its a defensive midfield and four defenders in the back. Do you honestly think England can play that formation. They play really fast. England can’t play fast because all there players eat fish and chips and are fat. So this is just a disaster waiting to happen. Sucks for you guys.

    Golazo,

    Firstly apolgise to Mr. Capello and all of England for your previous remarks.

    Wasn’t it argentina who was recently humiliated and humbled in the Copa America by a true S. American football team?

    Wasn’t it argentina who was yet again booted thrown out of the world cup?

    The future looks bleak for argie, but don’t take out your frustrations on England.

    God Save the Queen

  • Golazo

    Atleast our team was one of the top two teams in its region.

    Argentina has a bleak furture? Are you retarted we just won the previous 2 U-20 world cups.

    We are ranked number 1 in the world.

    Who do you have in the furture? An overrated Theo Walcott? An useless Aaron Lennon? Please tell me why you think Englnd will win the next World cup.

  • hawkins

    Golazo Golazo Golazo,

    You obviously know little of football but support your team. That’s fine. But don’t comment on English football, our talent and our new Manager Mr. Capello without knowing anything about the subjects. Mr. Capello is quite capable of playing a variety of systems, and if you think he just plays the one formation, then I rest my case on your knowledge.

    So again I must demand an immediate and unequivocal apology from you.

    Now

    the U-20? What the hell is that? No European and of ourse us Brits bother with that, so let’s just say its not the most prestigious trophy around.

    Argentina are indeed ranked No. 1 congratulations ….but again what the hell is that? Do you get one of those shiny stars placed on your jersey for that. Fifa Rankings……get serious.

    God Save The Queen

  • Golazo

    Ou under 23 team can destory your A squad easy

  • Golazo

    I will apologies if England quaifilies for the 2010 world cup but until then I’m not.
