I'm just not sure yet,...

ok, so I haven't done this in a long time, so turn away if you need to. but last nights international friendly between England & the Czech Republic has raised a few questions from this lad. (keep in mind things are going to start counting soon) Is Capello getting this? I know it's still early days yet, very early days, I mean the international scene is so short & sweet that most countries only have a few weeks a year to really gel & be able to play together as a team. but 2010 world cup qualifying starts in like 2 weeks, & I swear to you I'm not going to go through what I did with the European finals (not qualifying & all).

why does this england team seem strangely similar to McClaren's fiery crash england team? Well because it is. I'm sorry but some weight needs dropped. David Beckham, Frank Lampard, David James, Emile Heskey thank you all for your hard work & dedication but your services are no longer needed. At one time, you were the past of the England national team, you are not the future. Step away.

England squeaked a messy 2-2 draw in the 3rd or 4th minute of stoppage time last night at home in Wembley stadium in London. they easily enjoyed the lion's share of possession in the 1st half, & also quite a bit of it in the 2nd as well. the Czechs struck first on a cheeky little counter attack goal that took a quite generous deflection off of Ashley Cole's right foot. Wes Brown equalized a few minutes before break on a quality header off a corner. At the beginning of the 2nd half, England were soon caught stuck in a little mess as Beckham fouled someone I can't pronounce at the edge of the box setting up a quality free kick goal by yet another Czech player beyond my literary grasp. Cole's snatch & grab equalizer came off another England corner, & the 3 Lions were safe (barely) to continue rebuilding for a few more weeks until meanigful qualification games between Andorra & Croatia in September.

But what I am most concerned about is Fabio Capello's selection of his team. why are so many players considered the future of England absent? Those young legs carry a lot of pace, & are proven goal scorers in the Premier League for their clubs. David Bentley can do pretty much everything Beckham can, but with pace. To me, it's obvious. Wouldn't right now be the time to get some of these younger players some much needed international experience against quality opposition?

Why is this genius Italian coach so afraid to try some new players? & can someone tell me what role Wayne Rooney is playing. He played well, don't get me wrong, but he was everywhere. is he allowed to roam, unchallenged & unchecked creating space for Gerrard bombing up the middle of the pitch? Oh wait, Capello stuck Gerrard on the left. (his out of position, position) It's obvious England lack the same thing Manchester United does, an out & out striker. Someone for Rooney to play directly off of. A bigger stronger target than Defoe or the oft-injured Owen. & someone quicker than the bean pole Crouch or ageing Heskey. (are we sure a name like Fernando Torres is Spanish?)

Without further ado, (since I am an expert on the matter) I'll provide you with my opinion on what the England team Should be. Thanks for listening!!

OK, he's young & doesn't have a lot of International experience, but Ben Foster gets the start in goal. You gotta start him sometime. The back 4 of England (when organized) is solid, & will remain Brown, Terry, Ferdinand, & Ashley Cole. the midfield may look a little different. But it must be: Joe Cole on the left, Gerrard & Barry in the middle, & a new DB on the right, David Bentley. Now Wayne, listen to me. You keep your starting position, but only if you promise not to roam like a stray dog. You will partner Gabriel Agbonlahor up front.

Cheers!
