There's an excuse for that at club level, but not at international level

I don;t believe that if we replaced Capello with Jo Lurrrv we would start to play like Germany. Capello has shown that he can build a club side, but as an international manager he doesn't have the freedom to go out and acquire the players he needs. The other side of that deal is that the players he does have will be motivated to play as a team because they represent something even bigger than a football club - a nation. In Germany, they always do: in England, they almost always don't. Fucking chest-thumping by players makes me sick - Tony Adams, I'm talking to you - the results tell the truth.
