That's exactly what I said last night. I struggle to understand Capello when he's giving media interviews so how is it possible for the players to understand him when he let's out his fury during the half-time team-talk?

It was diabolical and Rooney's attitude stinks tbh. He was probably the worst player on the field last night and I really felt sorry for Heskey when he was subbed - it should have been the out-of-form Rooney that came off since he gave away everything that was passed into feet. You could see Heskey was giving it everything he had and looked upset at being brought off.

He might not be able to finish that well which he desperately needs to work on but he was more of a threat than the spoilt, temperamental little brat Rooney.

I think the majority are so wrapped up in the fear of losing that they forget they have to win. I can see them crumbling against Slovenia who will smell blood after last night's game and in all honesty, it's no less than they deserve. Overpaid, pampered wannabes. I've never believed they were world-beaters but they're fast proving they're borderline mediocre at best.

Yeah! I'm so proud of the team of my country

Someone from the team or the staff told the press that Anelka insulted the coach...something like "F*ck you! Son of a *itch". And this was on the cover of the most popular sport newspaper. Once it was in the paper, the coach (or staff) asked for public apologies, Anelka refused so the coach fired him. The team wasn't agree with this decision so they decided not to practice for the match with South Africa. Basically, the French team is on strike right now.
And now on TV: the captain of the team had a fight with the "physical" assistant (not sure of the vocabulary...too specific for me)

So after the cheating for the qualification, the prostitute's affaire and this, the French team should win the World Cup

[SexxAtraxxion]

ARGENTINA will win this cup.

The best current player (Messi)

Three wonderful forwards (Milito, Higuain, Tevez)

Three ****ing strong defenders (Demichelis, Samuel, Burdisso)

One of the best "5" (Mascherano)

The best player ever coaching the team (Maradona)

Best regards,

Probably true, but you need to remember that we are in a WC and also that Messi never played for Argentina as good as he plays for Barcelona (something similar to what used to happen with Ronaldinho).

Argetina defensive system is a mess, it's really really bad.

I like Mascherano since his time in Corinthians but he's not THE player that will make Argentina win...

The best player ever is Pele and that's it.
Maradona was one of the best for sure but you can't make this kind of connection about he being a good coach. Because he's simply not.

About Brazil's game today, what a game!!
And I still can't believe Kaka got a red card and the two "serial killers" from Ivory Coast didn't !!

The entire team wasn't doing well between mid '08 and '09. Let's see what happens now.

Argetina defensive system is a mess, it's really really bad.

So do you think these three players are bad? Two of them played the Champions League's final match...

We don't have a great "3" and "4" like in the previous years, but Heinze is decent at least. I still can't understand how Zanetti wasn't included

The best player ever is Pele and that's it.
Maradona was one of the best for sure but you can't make this kind of connection about he being a good coach. Because he's simply not.

lol

That's only your opinion. Luckily the general opinion says it's Maradona. I don't even remember Pele doing the best goal ever.

And by general opinion you mean Argentinian opinions ?? lol

Btw, leaving Zanetti and Cambiasso out was probably Maradona's biggest mistake.

Samuel is very good. Heinze is too slow and Demichelis is, well, ok.

But, you know, everybody is failing, maybe it's time for Holland finally win their first WC, they deserve it!
Even though I'm still confident in Brazil, specially after today's match. This team won everything they played last years (including one great game and one final against Argentina :P )

[Savvi]

Geez could my two teams make it any harder for themselves!!

Australia need to win against Serbia and Germany need to lose against Ghana for the Aussies to go through.

Italy need to beat Slovakia and Paraguay need to beat New Zealand for the Italians to go through.

Not the best World Cup this year for me. Cmon Australia! Forza Italia!
