see hoddle say that the reason he played 352 was because when he was playing for england he was chasing back half the time and never had any possession of the ball and didnt want to be the same
who was it that said robson having more caps then hoddle just shows what english football is all about
just clocked maggio is suspended, abate, de rossi & Chiellini all got fitness doubts but in don Prandelli i trust
/
england need to embrace their shitty style and perfect it, forget about playing a possession game and pass n move attractive stuff..they aint capable
just play direct 4-3-3 pace on both wings, carroll the big man up top, play 3 cm with the wingers tucking in to make it a 5.. hart to carroll was their most successful pass, build on that, get big andy winning the flick ons for the wingers making runs in behind
nah I honestly believe, if things go how I expect for certain players, England will have a very good core for the future, who WILL be ABLE to play a possession game, not to sure if they will be allowed though..
The former England manager is upset and angry at Rooney’s own statements about how it was better that Roy Hodgson was now in charge because there were no longer any communication problems and there were “no words lost in translation”.
Capello was indulgent of the 26-year-old striker during his four years as England manager but voiced his annoyance to the Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport in comments made to the news agency ANSA.
Rooney had a poor campaign and was also poor at the last World Cup Finals, under Capello, but then scored 34 goals for Manchester United last season. This led to Capello questioning his commitment for country as opposed to his club, managed by Scot Sir Alex Ferguson.
“After seeing the latest (England) game, I think Rooney only understands Scottish,” Capello said when asked to comment on England’s penalty shoot-out quarter-final loss to Italy.
When asked to explain his remarks, and while saying that Italy played a “great match” Capello added cuttingly: “He only plays well in Manchester where Sir Alex Ferguson speaks Scottish.”
Capello’s long-time assistant Italo Galbiati has already labeled Rooney “ungrateful” and accused the player of showing a lack of respect. Rooney was suspended for England’s first two matches of Euro 2012 after being sent off in the final qualifying game in Montenegro, Capello’s last in charge with the Italian then quitting after feeling undermined in February by the Football Association’s decision to strip John Terry of the captaincy.
Capello had fought hard for Rooney’s ban to be reduced to two matches, from three, so he could take part in the finals but although the striker scored England’s only goal in the 1-0 group stage victory over Ukraine he was woefully out-of-condition and struggled in that match and even more so against Italy.
Hodgson acknowledged that Rooney was poor in the two games but dismissed suggestions that the player was not fit. He also admitted that too much expectation was heaped on Rooney even though he had gone out of his way to praise him calling him England’s “ace in the hole” and also comparing him to Pele.
Rooney drew criticism for taking a holiday in Las Vegas, sanctioned by Hodgson, after the end of the season while he was recovering from a minor injury that had hampered the end of his campaign.
While Rooney was far from being the only England player to under-perform at the finals, the goal against Ukraine was his first in a finals since that competition in Portugal which ended prematurely for him through injury.
In an interview with Italian radio broadcast last week, and after Rooney’s comments, Capello claimed: “Look, when I spoke they did understand me. But every now and again, when I tried to explain tactics, things didn’t work out. You know what? Maybe it’s because Rooney doesn’t speak English. He doesn’t understand English.”
When Stevie plays for England he doesn't do that superman sh*t he does at Liverpool, If he plays in a team where he trusts his team mates he is fine but when he looks around him and doesn't trust his team mates he loses his mind.

Now that's mad selling Rooney and replacing him with Huntelaar
Rooney is a club level footballer nothing more.
TBH, put Rooney in a good quality national team & he's shining. Not his fault England can't play football. Just because he isn't good enough to CARRY England, doesn't mean he can't hack it on an international stage.
curbs saying Wilshere could be the no.10 yet he's been used as a deep-lying / box-box for eng wearing no.4
Scholes should've gone because he can do what Pirlo does
Rooney is world class
Why didn't we pick carrick
Building up Wilshere as the new savior lool
lool the england circus is in full flow, bunch of jokers
edit: nah allow this im hearing cundy, cascarino & raymond wilkins all singing from the same hymn sheet re: scholes
how the fuck you gona play scholes if the movement is shit, oxo cube was running into ashley coles space in the 1st game.. england don't have any movement
Pirlo plays well coz they have options, Cassano is always on the move etc these english are embarrassing smh how can the creators of football be soo clueless smh
now they're saying don't change the old players, keep them in so they can help england qualify for 2014 but in 2010 after germany dumped them out it was all about bringing the young players in lool you couldn't make this up

Yeah England have Premier League quality which means nada outside the Prem without Johnny Foreigner.
The way Hoddle's England team used to overload the midfield>>>

I been told Robson was talented but was more box to box compared to Hoddle who was over elegant

You wouldn't have liked Robson.
Hoddle was continental in his style, Platini saying if he'd have been French he'd have got 150 caps sums up the type of player he was.

I don't expect him to carry anyone
Nobody in the modern game can carry a team
Zizou retired six years ago
One performance in eight years =cannot hack it on the international stage
By the way you do know since Rooney add goals to his game(2009-10)
His overall game has been shit
