Only 12 hours to go before England's most important game in 4 years, two pretty dismal performances have seen us go into the final group game needing a win against Slovenia.
England Vs Slovenia should have been an easy game to predict but for some reason our players seem to have forgotten the basics and are likely to make Slovenia look like world beaters so take nothing for granted.
I'm getting the impression that some of our star names want to see the back of Capello and there is no better way of hastening his departure than an early exit from the world cup, hopefully I'm wrong.
I still think England have the ability to go a long way in this competition but not with what we've seen so far, one goal in two games (and I missed that thanks to ITV HD) is nowhere near good enough.
Every major tournament you get a call to change formation when it works perfectly well in qualification, the biggest problem we always seem to have is that Gerrard and Lampard can't play together so surely one or the other should be dropped rather than keep tinkering to fit them in somewhere, Gerrard is a fine player but I don't think he should be England captain, his words are about as inspiring as a speech from Steve "interesting" Davis, give Terry back the armband now before it's too late, the guy may be an arsehole but he's the only one who seems to have any leadership qualities, Although as England will be wearing an all red kit for the match maybe Stevie G will rise to the occassion?
Nine months ago we beat Croatia 5-1 with this team - Green, Johnson, Terry, Upson, Ashley Cole, Lennon, Barry, Lampard, Gerrard, Rooney, Heskey, so what has changed so drastically?
the obvious reason for me is that Terry was captain for the qualifying competition.
