Which is why he failed at Forest because he was trying to make the players play a more intelligent, continental style and they weren't clever enough.

Ouch. Germany-Holland 3-0, and it could have been a LOT worse...
Germany looking very tasty ahead of Euro 2012.

England recorded their first win against Sweden since 1968 to complete a satisfactory Wembley double-header for coach Fabio Capello after Saturday's victory against World Cup holders Spain.

But while the game was lacking real quality, Capello will have got the performances he wanted from Everton's Jack Rodwell and Tottenham right-back Kyle Walker as they made their first starts for England.

It ensured England ended that 43-year wait to beat Sweden - and left Capello with more names to consider as he formulates his squad for Euro 2012.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
I think time now has to be called on Rio Ferdinands England career. And there also has to be doubt's with John Terry and even Steven Gerrard. JT's pace has gone completely and I am afraid Stevie G is becoming injury prone.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
This is classic?
Quote:
Fifa president Sepp Blatter has said football does not have a problem with racism, and believes any incidents should be settled by a handshake.
The Football Association is currently investigating Chelsea's John Terry, and has charged Liverpool striker Luis Suarez, over alleged racist remarks.
"There is no racism, but maybe there is a word or gesture which is not the correct one," he told CNN World Sport.
"The one affected by this should say this is a game and shake hands."

Yeah, we missed Robben, v. Persie, Affelay and v.d. Vaart. But Germany really were miles better. Still, it's only a friendly, and hopefully it'll give them a bit of a wakeup call.

Very true and this is good from James Pearce.

James Pearce,
BBC sports news correspondent
This is one of Sepp Blatter's worst gaffes, without a doubt. On the day that Blatter says there is no racism in football, the FA has charged Luis Suarez with just that. The FA is taking a tough stance on racism and this could lead to a lengthy ban, potentially. If someone is found guilty of racial abuse the FA will, I'm sure, throw the book at them.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
Luis Suarez has been charged and innocent until proven guilty and the same goes for John Terry.

Yes thats right but the trouble in this country we have trial by tabloid and the media finds them guilty even before a case is heard.

I did not mean anything in that way shape or form. All I was just saying that this was a major gaffe in respect to Sepp. If you want to read any more in to it that is your opinion.
I now am feeling that I'am doing wrong by posting things on this forum
