The biggest non event of this world cup has to be Wayne Rooney.

I'm slightly out on the goals but really its gone exactly as I predicted it.

I've said all along, we've been poor. We limped through an extremely weak group and I said as soon as we meet any decent opposition, we'll be thrashed. And we have, no doubt about it. Been outclassed all the way through.

The problem is the manager. We don't have bad players. Sure they have bad games but 10-11 players don't have 4+ bad games on the trot. It's bad management. Bad line-ups, bad organisation, bad preparation, bad tactics, bad man management, the lot. And when it all goes wrong, Capello has no clue how to fix it. Heskey on for Defoe? Cole on for Milner on the RW? The defence has been a disgrace. The rest of the team are all over the place. Players constantly seeking the Hollywood goal/pass. I'm not going over the problems from the last 3 games again but England keep doing it. And it's all schoolboy stuff.

The problem clearly lies at Capello. I don't care what he has done with other teams. He has done nothing for us and shows no signs of ever doing so. I wished we had gone out at the group stage then he would have been sacked and we could have the complete reboot throughout the team like we should have had after McLaren. Will he get sacked now? Probably not. And so we'll have no chance for Euro '12.

Can the FA afford to sack Capello after just giving him a new contract?

punky · 27-06-2010, 16:52

This reminds me exactly of how I felt with Spurs at the beginning of the 08-09 season with Ramos. Ramos was/is just as inept as Capello and made all the same mistakes. Putting the wrong players in the wrong places. Bad tactics. Bad man mangement. Soon as Harry comes in, he swaps the players positions around, one team talk and it's a completely different team. Night and day.

Did he actually get an extension to that new contract though, thought he just had some clauses removed, if he did get a new one some one at the FA wants shooting, I suppose they are thinking of Bobby Robson at Italia '90 when he left because they didn't offer him a contract quick enough but that was 20 years ago and we haven't come close since.

Anyway this made me chuckle

Hopefully he will resign, but with all those pounds to come he probably won't

Why do we automatically blame the Manager. All i saw was a bunch of overpaid men kick a ball about like a Sunday afternoon team in the park

Its in the hands of the players when the game is on and our players all had a different game plan.

We have been beaten by a better team with better players

Niles Crane · 27-06-2010, 17:24

Great match, i'm looking forward to fallout.

[gloat]For now, i'm off to Soccer City for Argentina vs Mexico![/gloat]
