BAD,BAD DAY AT THE ENGLAND OFFICE BUT ITS NOT OVER YET

One England goal in the easy looking Group C leaves two draws,two points and a must win final group stage match against Slovenia on Wednesday afternoon.I stated England would beat Algeria but I never thought the team would play so badly.I am pretty sure they will beat Slovenia but how can you be confident at present about England or their highly paid coach Fabio Capello.He picked the wrong goalie to start against the USA..and that is not just hindsight...he persists with Emile Heskey and 4-4-2,he won't play Joe Cole,he plays people out of their best position and he needs to find another way to get the best out of Rooney,Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard. Capello may yet have a good run in the World Cup but this will be the acid test.He does not pick the opponents or make the draws but England had an easy qualifying group and at this stage they have opponents ranked 14th,25th and 30th in the World compared with England at 8.We are entitled to expect England to comfortably make the knock-out stages.Capello needs to relax on the bench.Easier said than done but that anger cannot be helping the players who are quite obviously frightened of him in the first place.There is a lot resting on Wednesday..If we can't qualify from this Group C...well its not worth thinking about.Hope? The Germans missed their first World Cup finals penalty since 1982..( including shoot-outs)!Anything is now possible......
