That Wacky Capello Blunders Again
August 19th 2008 17:00
England it seems is no longer the England National team, but rather Fabio Capello's England, as the Italian keeps making wacky decisions that will prove to hurt the country in the long run. Like reappointing John Terry for England's captaincy through World Cup qualifying. John Terry can't lead England, and proved that beyond a shadow of a doubt in the dark times we call the McClaren age. A defender will never get it done for today's England, and I know why.
You need a mid-fielder to wear that banner of dignity and hope for England, because only a mid-fielder can inspire through positive attacking play, which is the only force that will help England in the changing International game. Steven Gerrard would have been a great choice, maybe even Frank Lampard, and David Beckham never lets you down when he has the armband. Except for the LA Galaxy, but they were awful to begin with, and MLS has that awful $2.1million salary cap so you can't buy Becks a decent attacker to fetch a pass, and can't buy a decent defender to stop leaking goals.
But this is the greatest example of what a captain can do for a national team, buy taking the game into his hands, and putting his country back into play single-handedly:
John Terry can't do that, because he's a full-back, and is always forced to play so deep his ability to score is only evident from set pieces. And England needs a scorer to succeed, not an old man yelling at them from behind. Especially not one that randomly spits on people from Argentina when he has the chance.
So...good luck John Terry, take us to the World Cup final for once, we need another title so people will say England without a hint of disgust on their tongue.
