The England Return

So, after a poor World Cup England had quite an impressive game yesterday. I know I'm brazilian and I should be talking about my own national team but I couldn't resist talking a little bit about England. I've been listening for the past 3 months to the English press alwaysd criticising and slagging off Capello every single opportunity they have. The guy can't say anything or do anything without someone calling him a donkey or worse. So I was hoping for a good England performance so I could turn on Sky Sport News the next morning and wouldn't have to listen to same thing over and over again.



Did you notice that Capello has been playing the same system since he took control of England? But, when the team was winning he was brilliant, he was one of the best managers England has ever had. The second you had bad performances he was stupid.

Some other things really annoyed me as well. So Rooney had a very bad World Cup and whose fault is it? Not Rooney... Of course not Rooney, how could he? It has to be Capello... Come on, give the man a break. If I was him I would have left you without a manager a long time ago and you could go and look for and English manager like so many people want. I don't know who though... I can't think of one good English manager without a team at the moment. (or even with a team - Mr F).

So today I wake up and a hear on TV: Maybe the 4-4-2 works... oh, so it is that easy to get the press to change their minds. For you to have an idea how I found this subject annoying every time I hear the pundits on sky sport news talking about Capelllo I turn off my TV.

Another really annoying subject has been the Arteta story. Not sure you have noticed but most international teams have one or two players who aren't really from that country but have changed their nationalities and committed themselves to play for that team. Why is that a disgrace? So, every other international team is wrong? Shouldn't Boateng and Ozil be playing for Germany? Zidane and Viera should have never played for France? Deco has disgraced the Portugal team? I don't think so. So England would be lucky to have such a skillful player as Arteta, and you should be very happy if he accepted the invite to play for England, but unfortunately the FA has said that he can't since he played for Spain when he was young without an English passport.

Well, I just wanted to say something as these two subject have been bothering me for the past 3 months. I just hope that this last good performance from the team will shut the press up for a bit and we could all give Capello a break and that I can turn my TV on and not get angry at it !

Hope you all have a good weekend !
