After missing a penalty in this seasons FA Cup Final, Frank Lampard's penalty taking responsibilities for his country were questioned. He insists he is fine to carry on with his duties but will the players and fans feel the same way?
Ex Chelsea midfielder Michael Ballack has spoken out about the clashing ego's of England and Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard and Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard. He says if England are to do well then the two will have to alter the way they play to do whats best for the team. It'll will be easier said than done but can the pair come to their senses to carry England through the tourney or will Capello have to make some very hard decisions?
He should stay, the referee robbed them against Germany.
England are out of the World Cup after getting beaten 4-1 by Germany in the first knockout round. Capello said that the team played well against the USA, badly against Algeria, then well again against Slovenia and that the game against Germany was decided by the referees bad decision on Lampard's goal off the crossbar. What do you think, should Fabio Capello resign?
Those things should be added right away, we're in 2010!
No, technology would ruin football.
Lampard's obvious goal off the crossbar sparked the debate about introducing goal-line technology and video replays to help the referees on the football pitch. So far FIFA and UEFA didn't want to hear anything about that, what do you think?
Fabio Capello announced a few weeks ago that Rio Ferdinand is the new England captain, however the Manchester United may not be fully fit for South Africa. Who do you think will wear the armband in England's first World Cup game against USA in South Africa?
Steve Gerrard and Frank Lampard are their clubs heroes of late and Gerrard more than anyone. That said, Gerrard has had a mixed season, who would you choose?
