Ferdinand the easy choice for Capello
Interesting that Fabio Capello should spend a reported 12 minutes with John Terry before defenestrating him. It’s likely that three things happened: 1. Capello was appalled at the moral standards of a man supposedly worthy of English footballs highest individual honour, 2. Capello got wind of the fact that this was not the only worm…

Marcello Lippi: "I would like to see a World Cup Final between England and Italy."

2010 World Cup ticket nightmares
If you haven’t heard already, tickets for the 2010 FIFA World Cup are not going as well as planned, particularly with the overseas fans. FIFA has blasted England, and to some extent Germany, for putting fans off of travelling to South Africa. I think FIFA has got it wrong (yet again), because England or Germany…

The quality Crouch displayed in the game against Blackburn before Christmas highlighted the two sides to his game which make him a complete striker. Firstly, his ability in the air as he headed a cross in off the post to give Spurs a…
England’s World Cup Chances: The Class of 2010 v The Golden Generation
Whilst we are used to (endlessly irritated by?) the hype surrounding every build-up to an England World Cup campaign, it’s fair to say that in 2006 much of the hype held water.
