Whatever he'd done it seem to have dispirited them all. And that disallowed goal was really shocking to a footy novice like me! It is 2010 and they have invented cameras - - why on Earth not use them?Daphnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14469075813149239051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-82904879325229800302010-06-28T14:56:10.444+01:002010-06-28T14:56:10.444+01:00At times (in the group matches) they did give the ...At times (in the group matches) they did give the impression that they really weren't trying. Yesterday, they at least put the effort and enthusiasm in but were basically not good enough as the young speedy Germans raced past us again and again .... personally, I thought they would have got another couple of goals but luckily stuck to just 4!!<br /><br />The problem? Who knows, and unless they pay me a million quid a year, I don't intend to lose too much sleep over it; but it seems to be a mixed bag of over-rated, over-confident players thinking they are the bees' knees, and a manager with a completely un-English outlook on football. Over here, in Catalonia/Spain, they also knew it would not be a successful pairing. He won everything with Real Madrid but was still sacked the same year for boring defensive play.<br /><br />Will we find another generation of good players when the top teams are full of foreigners and seem to have no youth programmes worthy of mention (compare with Barcelona who won the European Cup with 7 or 8 home-grown lads!!)? And who can manages some sense into them ?<br /><br />Anyway, today's another day ... given the options, I hope Germany go on to win the World Cup!!Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06613762050863476962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-58883391276888252362010-06-28T08:17:02.252+01:002010-06-28T08:17:02.252+01:00Capello is an exceptional manager that some would ...Capello is an exceptional manager that some would say is without peer.<br /><br />It's cl;ear he came for one last pay day and that's what he'll get- why did the fA have to offer him twice as much as anyone else?<br /><br />He clearly was too old and clearly didn't have a clue how to manage 23 English men.<br /><br />Can't agree with the clamour for Roy Hodgson. i like the guy but feel the job wouldn't be a massive success somehow.<br /><br />Harry Redknapp should be the man but the FA would reject him out of hand because of his business dealings just like Terry V and Big Ron.<br /><br />They also can't cope with the big personalities that will dominate players and the job- see clough and Charlton.<br /><br />If this continues we can probably forget Mourinho too after he's finished at Madrid.Bangkok Boothyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17254842147773311112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-37837365786022009912010-06-28T07:59:41.946+01:002010-06-28T07:59:41.946+01:00I only watch football at times like this...and yes...I only watch football at times like this...and yesterday the play by England was woeful...I don't think any one of them should ever wear an England shirt again...but saying that, once the humiliation was over and we were back out in the garden in the sunshine, life carried on as normal and like everyone else no doubt, we said the 'it's only a game, and the world won't stop turning ..'line.libbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05552884005601003691noreply@blogger.com
