in John Terry Should Not Be England’s Captain on EPL Talk
Michael:
"Sure, Terry can command men and give a good speech or whatever, fine, but that’s not all that being captain is about."
Hmm, really!?
With regard to the Croatia game. Terry's presence is enough to lift a team, to pick up the tempo, yeah, to ruffle some feathers. He's in your face and a lot of the time, he ends up making the difference. In fact, he epitimises everything that is great about the english game, the bulldog spirit and passion.
Maybe that's what's missing in the glitz, glamour and showbiz of the MLS.
JLay:
I just had a look at the official FIFA World Rankings. The table only shows the top 25, England are 14th. USA aren't on there. A little bit of digging later and you're at no.31. Well done. Also had a look at that tricky qualifying group you're in. Is there a football pitch in Barbados?
Oh, and thanks for saving the world.

But if Michael Jordan didn't play- would they have won? Hence, if JT would have played in the final qualifier, there is every chance we could have won and made the Euros.
The Olympics!? England actually qualified by making the semis of the European U21 championships. But England doesn't compete in the Olympics, Great Britain does. Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland don't want to be part of a Team GB olympic football team as it would threaten their existence in terms of having an independent national team in the eyes of FIFA.

Great character assassination of John Terry. I don't think he should apologise for displaying his passion and commitment (a trademark of many great captains).
And he shouldn't get it because he missed what would have been the deciding penalty in the Champions League final!? Lets forget that he had the balls to step up and take that penalty- and if it wasn't for one slip he would have won Chelsea their first European Cup.
Need i mention that he captained his country at Wembley and scored the opener against USA just ONE WEEK after the champions league final. That is testament to the man that is Englands' born leader.
As for Gerrard, he didn't perform when given the opportunity to captain the side. He didn't pick up the team when that was required. If an injured John Terry would have played against Croatia at Wembley then England would have been represented at the Euros.
Poor predictably biased article, why not try another sport that you might understand a little better? Netball is good at this time of year.

If we're looking at young players that could make an impact this year i would include Ben Sahar (on loan at pompey), Di Santo (2 goals in preseason), Gael Kakuta and Miraslav Stoch (youth team stars), those chelsea boys got skills! Mark my words...

It's good to look back at all that history. But is the future still going to be as good?

in Why Manchester United Should Let Cristiano Ronaldo Go on EPL Talk
It’s not just Cristiano Ronaldo that lacks loyalty and commitment (Ian Wright correctly stated as a footballer he has bundles of class, but as a man he is still found wanting). They should just try and get as much $ as possible for him.
