Jermain Defoe: Good at Scoring Goals, But Good Enough to Start for England?

Brazil 1-0 England
Well all in all it wasn’t a bad result. Though I watched the game alone I had a little liveblogging adventure with Daryl and various commenters. If you missed the game I’ll give you a link to some highlights , and my pity (it was a good game). It was also, despite the fact it was a ...

On How Our Squad is as Deep as a Kiddie Pool
Bad news. Our list of the fallen is now about as long as Peter Crouch’s leg. The BBC so kindly tells us that we’re missing Rio Ferdinand, Steven Gerrard, Ashley Cole, David James, Theo Walcott, Emile Heskey, David Beckham, Aaron Lennon, Carlton Cole, John Terry, Frank Lampard, and ...

Why I have forgiven Chris Waddle
So yesterday marked the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, and thusly the reunification of Germany . To mark the occasion I watched the rather brilliant film Goodbye Lenin! (recommended, if you haven’t seen it), which basically takes place during the fall of the Berlin ...

England’s (Slightly Understrength But That’s OK) Squad to Face Brazil
Fabio Capello has named his England squad for the November 14th friendly vs Brazil in Qatar. There was a bit of complaining in the run up, with Fergie suggesting the whole thing was a waste of time , and Rafa Benitez asking that Steven Gerrard be excused. Capello ignored Fergie and selected ...

Kieran Gibbs for England. Eventually.
Arsene Wenger thinks 20 year old Arsenal left back Kieran Gibbs is “ready to play” for England. I’d rather stick with Ashley Cole and Wayne Bridge for World Cup 2010, thanks Arsene, but after watching Gibbs play in Arsenal’s 4-1 win over Wolves today, I think we can ...

When Will Rio Be Back?
If you had asked me six months ago who was England’s best centre back I would have undoubtedly said Rio Ferdinand. However posed with the same question now I would be a little less sure. I think that the talk that he’s “over the hill” is overly dramatic, but ...

Aaron Hunt for England? He Says Nein, Danke.
Interesting story in Bild recently, suggesting that Fabio Capello has been asking Stuart Pearce to keep an eye on Werder Bremen’s 23 year old attacking mid/forward Aaron Hunt , who you can see above scoring twice for Werder Bremen (in white) this weekend. The second goal (which tied ...

Why Friendlies are Important and Alex Ferguson is Wrong
Sir Alex Ferguson has always enjoyed a good moan. Especially when it comes to England friendlies. So it wasn’t a huge surprise to hear him complain about England’s upcoming game vs Brazil in Doha, Qatar on November 14th. Ferguson doesn’t mention the Brazil game specifcially. ...
