RIO BLOW FOR ENGLAND

Not a good start for England with our World Cup captain Rio Ferdinand ruled out through injury.He is,when fully fit,a class act but he does spend too much time on the injury list.Obviously a big disappointment for Rio and England but while you do not want any fitness problems ,an injury to Wayne Rooney would be more crucial.Meanwhile which team will coach Fabio Capello start against the USA on Saturday evening?Will he play in form Joe Hart in goal for go for Robert Green or maybe David James? Will Emile Heskey really start with Wayne Rooney before Jermain Defoe or Peter Crouch?You have to believe that Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard can play together and who will play centre-half?.Sadly I cannot see England winning the World Cup.AS in previous years all England believes this is THE World Cup when England will emulate the 1966 team who played all their matches at Wembley.We are good but not good enough in realistic terms.Managers make a difference and Fabio Capello is doing well but the real test for all comes in the various knock-out stages.
