England will meet France in a great international friendly on Wednesday but Fabio Capello will be missing both John Terry and Ashley Cole. Newcastle's Andy Carroll is also struggling with an injury so his presence is doubtful.
That's shocking, calling up a 28 year old mediocre Championship player...
Fabio Capello made another surprising decision by calling up Cardiff City striker Jay Bothroyd, a man that could make his debut for England at the age of 28! He did score 13 goals in 14 appearances in the Championship this season but still, calling up a second-level player is surprising. The last time that happened was in 2007 when David Nugent was called up while playing in the Championship.
His England career is over, he should accept that.
The Los Angeles Galaxy player is eying a loan move to an European club during the MLS season break in order to prove that he's still worthy of a place in the England squad. The 35-year old veteran has not played for the Three Lions since suffering a torn Achilles tendon in March which kept him out of the World Cup, with Fabio Capello then appearing to call time on his international career
England will meet Denmark on Wednesday in an international friendly match which will see both sides trying to recover from previous unconvincing results. England lost their last international game, 2-1 against France, and were held to a goalless draw by Montenegro in the Euro 2012 qualifiers. Denmark recorded a 0-0 draw against the Czech Republic in their last outing.
Wayne Rooney will be the leader with or without the band.
Capello should reinstate Terry!
Rio Ferdinand is out of the World Cup and with Michael Dawson en route to South Africa to replace the Man United player, can Stevey G step up to plate and lead the "Three Lions" to victory?
Wales will meet England in group G on Saturday in a game that could have a big impact on the group table. England are in second place after two wins and a draw, three points behind leaders Montenegro but with a game in hand. On the other hand Wales suffered three straight losses and they will surely be looking to redeem themselves with a good result against England.
I surely agree, there are no better English managers.
That's rubbish, most English managers are better than him.
England's captain Steven Gerrard was keen on defending boss Fabio Capello before the match against Bulgaria and the start of the EURO 2012 qualifying campaign: "It's important that Fabio is still given a chance. For me, he's a fantastic manager. Who out there, who is an English manager, has the CV that Fabio Capello has got? There are still good managers out there, English mangers, but it'd be a knee-jerk reaction to sack a manager after one bad tournament, then think everything will be rosy when you start with a new guy and we'll go on and win the Euros"
England will meet Ghana at Wembley tomorrow in a tough international friendly. Capello's men grabbed a 2-0 away win in Wales last Saturday in the Euro 2012 qualifying match while Ghana's last result is a narrow 1-0 defeat in South Africa.
Following the impressive 4-0 thumping of Bulgaria at Wembley Fabio Capello's men travel to Switzerland for the next game in the Euro 2012 qualifying campaign. What do you think, will England manage to win the game?
England beat Switzerland 3-1 in Basel to maintain their 100% record in the Euro 2012 qualifiers. Wayne Rooney scored the opening goal while substitutes Adam Johnson and Darren Bent added another couple to make sure of the win.
