Fantastic – You have to wonder exactly where the moral compass of this country is going.

Every day in every way the England football team becomes more of a joke.

Considering the majority of these guys fool around on the side, Im sure the wives are thrilled that the husbands all have access to young blond poon.
Its not the screwing around that tires you out, its the going out to get some taht does it.
By having whores on the spot, it keeps the exertion to a minimum.

I love how they talk about JTs leadership.

Was it visible in the US game? Or how about when Algeria outplayed them like they were canadian football players? Was his leadership visible during the ass whooping against Germany?

This JT thing is a godsend, it keeps the media from asking how a player with half a season of EPL play is going to be a starting striker.
Half a season.
Yeah, no pressure.

Jack Wilshere is too young for that responsibility. Also sometimes his temper gets the better of him and goes double for Rooney. Joe Hart is the natural leader in that younger generation. He is good with the press and has more composure than the other younger ones. He also appears to have a nurturing/mentoring side to him when dealing with younger people.

I’m tired of John Terry and his lot. Time for new blood.

Said it before & will say it again. Don’t care what they do off the pitch, it’s on the pitch that counts. And if we’re going to throw stones, what about Rio’s involvement in the infamous Christmas party? We still dont’ know what went on with Terry & Bridge’s ex, yes ex. She says nothing happened, Terry doesn’t speak about it. If the News of the World is your moral bible, you’re in trouble.

Hard to say who should be captain. Terry is in a tricky spot since it was his teammate’s ex-fiance. But when it comes to affairs, boy oh boy, England have their fair share.

Rio’s too busy manning the treatment table to be of any (consistent) good. There’s not a whole lot in the way of (good) leadership in that older group. No wonder Capello’s already looking forward to Jack Wilshere!

I say Joe Hart for captain. John T represents the soon to be past.

Faye White is towering over Rooney in that pic…..
Maybe JT isn’t as douchy as he seems, but all we can go by are his public words and actions. He has led on the pitch but his off-field actions are not to standard. Would a short, humble apology for past transgressions be so difficult? In addition, leadership really matters when the chips are down and there was precious little of it in South Africa. If England can’t make progress with the Euros, Capello shouldn’t be the only casualty. What is progress? Playing well, not giving up brainless fouls that hurt your side, winning a shootout, being able to hold your head high even when you lose.
