It is not very often that one is proved so spectacularly right after just a few hours. Yesterday I wrote that England's draw with the USA in the World Cup was mainly because of their midfield and forwards all of whom are highly paid and regularly eulogized as the best in the world. Indeed if English tabloids were to be believed Wayne Rooney or ' our Roo ' as he is so affectionately called was supposed to be the best player the world has ever seen except, perhaps, Pele and certainly better than Maradonna whose infamous ' hand of God ' goal has never been forgotten or forgiven. There were reports of London officials consulting with the various borough councils about arrangements for celebrating the return of the English team with the famous cup. Yesterday the goalkeeper, David James kept a clean sheet but at the other end the Algerian goalkeeper had to do nothing except getting down smartly to one effort from Frank Lampard. Mr. Capello, the English coach used all his front players without any improvement in their display. The only player he did not use was Joe Cole so now English journalists are moaning about his absence. Perhaps they are forgetting that the coach is allowed only three substitutes and anyway even if Mr. Capello had twelve players on the field it would hardly have affected the outcome. Of course, everyone knows more than the coach about what team to put out so I do not want to go there. Still in all the years of watching the Premier League I am yet to be convinced by Emile Heskey. Perhaps Mr. Capello could start with Peter Crouch up front with Rooney. The group being balanced England could still go on and win the World Cup but they would have to improve by 100% to do that.
