ENGLAND V HOLLAND
Gerrard out of England squad, Young to start
Soccernet - August 11, 2009

http://www.stevengerrard.net/images/steven_gerrard_injury.jpg

Steven Gerrard has pulled out of the England squad for Wednesday night's friendly against Holland because of a groin injury.

The FA confirmed on Tuesday morning the Liverpool captain would return to his club due to concerns over a "tight groin" and that Ashley Young would start in his place.

"I cannot clone Stevie,'' observed coach Fabio Capello. "Every player has a different style and Ashley Young is really important because he is one of the English players who can dribble and take people on one-on-one.

"He has only played twice for me. The first time it was so-so. The second he played very well.

"Now he needs the confidence to perform against one of the best national sides in the world.

selengkapnya:
"Holland do not have the same quality as Spain but they have had some really good results, so it is a really important test.

"It gives us an opportunity to understand what we will have to do if we play against a team with the same style in South Africa.''

For Capello, Theo Walcott's likely absence will not present a problem, just as he is not concerned about the transfer speculation swirling around Joleon Lescott, who has learned an official request to leave Everton has been rejected.

"I remember speaking with Gareth Barry before an England game when a similar thing happened and he played well,'' recalled Capello.

"I hope players like Lescott and Matthew Upson are not distracted either.''

Coming just four days ahead of his side's opening Premier League fixture at Tottenham, Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez will no doubt welcome the decision to adopt a cautious stance over Gerrard's fitness.

The midfielder is a key component of the Reds' attempts to end a 19-year league title drought. However, his injury record is patchy and Gerrard has been plagued by muscular problems in the past.

Benitez will desperately hope to have his talisman available at White Hart Lane, especially as he also has defensive problems with doubts over Jamie Carragher, Daniel Agger and Martin Skrtel.

The same sentiment might also be expressed by Sir Alex Ferguson in relation to goalkeeper Ben Foster - who pulled out of the squad on Monday - given Edwin van der Sar is missing until the end of September with broken fingers.

If anything, Foster's injury record is even worse than Gerrard's and there must now be serious doubts over the former Stoke man's chances of forcing his way into Capello's thoughts as potential number one at the World Cup in South Africa as Ferguson has predicted.

Joe Hart's recall was an obvious move given the youngster won a full cap in Trinidad last year and was a regular member of the England squad until Shay Given arrived from Newcastle to take his place at Manchester City.

Now on loan at Birmingham, Hart is at least guaranteed to start the new season as a Premier League regular. It is little wonder though that talk is once again surfacing about the availability of Manuel Almunia.

The Arsenal keeper is now eligible to play for England on residency grounds and there are some who think the Spain-born star should be catapulted over the current crop, including Robert Green, who is set to make his third consecutive appearance.

But Capello has ruled out any chance of Almunia being called up during his time as England manager.

"Almunia, for me, is Spanish,'' he said. "He is Spanish and he plays for the Arsenal team.''

HOLLAND U-21 0-0 ENGLAND U-21
Entertaining draw in Holland
Soccernet - August 12, 2009

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2009/08/11/article-0-0607D11C000005DC-662_468x327.jpg

England Under-21s came under sustained pressure but escaped with a goalless draw against their Dutch counterparts.

In a game with plenty of chances for both sides it was the goalkeepers who came out smiling at the end as a combination of some fine saves and a handful of bad misses kept the sheets clean at both ends.

There was a 30-minute run out for hotly-tipped Jack Wilshere - mentioned as a possible senior call-up for the World Cup - but the Arsenal teenager struggled to make an impact.

The introduction of Wilshere was one of eight changes that manager Stuart Pearce made through the course of the game as he looks to replace a number of stars who graduated from the team following the European Championships.

England were restricted to long-range efforts in the first half, but neither Jack Rodwell nor Michael Mancienne could do much to worry Newcastle's Tim Krul in the Dutch goal.

Micah Richards had the best chances of the first half for England but he headed over and then his low shot was held by Krul.

The Dutch, meanwhile, were creating plenty of chances, with another Arsenal youngster, Nacer Barazite, at the centre of most things they did.

However, Watford's Scott Loach stood firm in the England goal before being replaced by Blackburn youngster Frank Fielding, on loan at Rochdale, at half-time.

The game became disrupted as the substitutes piled on early in the second half, but once the changes were made, Barazite resumed to terrorising the England defence, forcing Fielding into a good parried save in the 69th minute.

And it was Fielding who England could thank for a draw as he pulled off an outstanding save to deny Vurnon Anita with two minutes left in the match.

Capello tak tertarik pakai Almunia
August 12, 2009 by bola

Pelatih tim nasional Inggris, Fabio Capello, menyatakan, ia tak akan memanggil kiper Arsenal, Manuel Almunia, dalam skuadnya. Sebab, di mata Capello, Almunia tetaplah bukan orang Inggris.

Almunia memang berasal dari Spanyol. Namun, sekalipun punya kemampuan bagus, ia sulit masuk timnas Spanyol yang sudah memiliki Iker Casillas, Victor Valdes, dan Pepe Reina.

Dia juga belum pernah membela negaranya sehingga ada kemungkinan dipakai Inggris atau negara lain, jika punya kewarganegaraan.

Kenyataan itu membuat Almunia membuka diri untuk mengabdikan diri pada timnas Inggris, apalagi, secara administratif, ia berhak membela "The Three Lions" karena sudah mengantongi paspor Inggris.

Toh, keputusan final berada di tangan Capello dan ia punya pandangan sendiri mengenai status Almunia. "Almunia bagi saya adalah orang Spanyol. Ia orang Spanyol dan ia bermain untuk tim Arsenal," ungkap Capello.

Goalkeeper
Ben Foster (Manchester United) Age 26 Caps 2
Seven days ago, Ben Foster seemed on the verge of finally making his breakthrough, yet the biggest week of his career was a crushing disappointment. A nervous display for Manchester United in the penalty shoot-out defeat to Chelsea in Sunday's FA Community Shield did little to convince anyone that he is the heir apparent for both club and country. He subsequently pulled out of the England squad for Wednesday's friendly against the Netherlands with a knee injury, a further blow to his chances of establishing himself as the leading candidate to replace David James, 39, as England's first-choice keeper. Foster will, however, get his chance this season. Sir Alex Ferguson recently showed his faith in Foster, a player he spotted while watching son Darren play for Wrexham, with a four-year contract. With Edwin van der Sar out for two months, Foster is set for a protracted run in the side, including playing in the Champions League, which is a vital benchmark for Capello. At the age of 26, it is a chance he has to take.
http://www.independent.co.uk/multimedia/archive/00233/foster_233698s.jpg

Defence
Micah Richards (Manchester City) Age 21 Caps 11
This is a crucial moment for Richards, who has been a disappointment for the last two seasons. Great things were predicted for the powerful defender when he won his first cap in November 2006 under the former England head coach Steve McClaren. Yet Richards has all but disappeared from the international scene since Capello took charge and he can have few complaints. His form nosedived at City, where his love of flashy jewellery and fast cars earned him the tag "Mr Bling." Richards has been given another chance by his City manager, Mark Hughes, but this will be his last as the owners' impatience will not tolerate another mediocre season. Richards' summer started badly, with a dose of swine flu while on holiday in Cyprus that he initially mistook for alcohol poisoning. However, his composed performances for the Under-21s in the European Championship in June will have earned him a few brownie points with Capello. The ultimate bling ? the World Cup trophy ? beckons.

Defence
Gary Cahill (Bolton) Age 23 Caps 0
The Aston Villa manager, Martin O'Neill, has assembled a fine crop of young Englishmen, but Cahill is the one that got away. Not even an internet campaign from Villa fans urging him to be retained could prevent the young centre-half signing for Bolton for £5m in January 2008. His aerial strength and ability on the ball has since prompted his manager Gary Megson to claim: "He's the best young centre-half in the country by an absolute street." The OTT assessment gained some credibility, however, when Capello called Cahill into the England squad for the qualifier in Kazakhstan in June in place of the injured Rio Ferdinand. Capello has been keeping an eye on Cahill for some time, and is understood to be impressed with the Yorkshire-born player's measured approach when in possession, a legacy of his earlier incarnation as a midfield player.

Defence
Ledley King (Tottenham) Age 28 Caps 19
It seems far-fetched but the biggest crock in English football could yet have a part to play in South Africa. King has no need to impress Capello with his ability, as the Italian is a confirmed admirer of the Spurs defender's pace, composure and versatility. But King's fitness could rule him out, just as it did in 2006. The cartilage in his left knee is effectively wrecked and the bones rub together when he runs, causing fluid which requires time to drain away. The injury means he spends lonely hours in the gym or pool between games instead of training with his team-mates. King's participation for South Africa would be totally unthinkable were it not for Capello's shock decision to call him into the squad in March. King, of course, withdrew with injury but Capello kept the door open, saying: "We hope he has an international future because he's a very interesting player ? one of the best centre-backs."

Defence
Kieran Gibbs (Arsenal) Age 19 Caps 0
Capello has been impressed with the manner in which Arsenal's teenage left-back coped in the aftermath of his catastrophic mistake in last season's Champions League semi-final with Manchester United. The second leg at the Emirates Stadium was only minutes old when Gibbs lost his footing and Park Ji-sung scored a vital away goal to knock the stuffing out of the Gunners. Gibbs did not hide, and bounced back with impressive displays in the remainder of Arsenal's Premier League fixtures and later on England Under-21 duty at the European Championships in Sweden. His coach at that level, Stuart Pearce, described Gibbs as having crammed "two years' worth of experience into two months" and paid tribute to the teenager's mental toughness. If Gibbs gets the chances to play at Arsenal this season he could yet put pressure on the likes of Wayne Bridge and Leighton Baines for the role of understudy to the former Arsenal left-back Ashley Cole.

Midfield
Jack Wilshere (Arsenal) Age 17 Caps 0
His Premier League experience amounts to six minutes as a substitute, but Jack Wilshere is a genuine contender for the World Cup squad, according to Capello. The 17-year-old's precocious talents may only have been witnessed in brief glimpses but they have been enough to suggest here is the kind of player we have been waiting for. His composed performances against Atletico Madrid and Rangers in the Emirates Cup earlier this month, under Capello's watchful eye, mean every time he appears this season he will have the burden of expectation thrust upon him. It may not be fair for such a young man to carry such a load, but evidence suggests Wilshere could be up to the task. With an upright gait and a classy left foot, 5ft 5in Wilshere has been likened to both Paul Gascoigne and Liam Brady. Hopefully, his career will more closely resemble that of the latter.

Midfield
Owen Hargreaves (Manchester United) Age 28 Caps 42
It is almost a year since Hargreaves last played a competitive match ? 21 September against Chelsea. Since then he has undergone surgery on both knees in an effort to cure tendinitis and his comeback is continually being delayed. But, before he was injured it was clear that Hargreaves was at the heart of Capello's plans. The truth is that no English midfielder does what he does better than him ? and that is winning the ball. United might not been outplayed so comprehensively by Barcelona in the Champions League final last season had Hargreaves been fit. The player will have to demonstrate to Capello he is strong enough to cope with the demands of an international tournament, on the back of a long lay-off. But lest we forget, he was England's best player in Germany, in 2006, and his tenacity in midfield could be decisive against the best nations in the world.

http://www.independent.co.uk/multimedia/archive/00233/hargreaves_233689s.jpg

Attack
Danny Welbeck (Manchester United) Age 18 Caps 0
The Old Trafford youth system has produced a stream of talent such as David Beckham, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and the Neville brothers ? but no leading strikers. In fact, the last top-class forward to emerge from the United youth system was Mark Hughes more than 25 years ago. That could be about to change if local boy Danny Welbeck delivers on his potential. Welbeck's lanky, languid style has seen him likened to both Kanu and Emmanuel Adebayor. He marked his Premier League debut with a spectacular goal in the 5-0 thrashing of Stoke last November. Sir Alex Ferguson is convinced of his talents. In May Ferguson said: "Danny's a certainty to make it at the highest level. I've told England coach Fabio Capello the boy will be in his World Cup squad next year. Wide left or right or through the middle, he has the intelligence, guts, athleticism and talent to do the job. When he completes his growing, he'll really be something." Now Ferguson just has to give Welbeck the chance to prove him right.

http://www.independent.co.uk/multimedia/archive/00233/welbeck_233685s.jpg

Midfield
Fabian Delph (Aston Villa) Age 19 Caps 0
The England midfield is a hard nut to crack for young players, but Fabian Delph could be the man to do it. At least he should get the chance at Aston Villa after Gareth Barry's departure to Manchester City. Villa's manager, Martin O'Neill, spent £6m of the Barry money on taking Delph from Leeds, and intends to play him at the centre of his midfield. Delph ? a product of Bradford City's youth programme ? is only a teenager but he has already played two full seasons as a professional at Leeds, where he excited numerous Premier League scouts with his pace, power and goalscoring threat. The TV pundit Jamie Redknapp has likened Delph's all-action, energetic style to that of a young Steven Gerrard. O'Neill certainly believes he has picked up a gem, and it will not have escaped Delph's attention that O'Neill signed Ashley Young from Watford in 2007 and helped to turn him into an England international.

Midfield
James Milner (Aston Villa) Age 23 Caps 1
James Milner has to show he can make the transition from Under-21s, where he has a record 46 caps, to the senior side but did well when coming on against the Netherlands. Historically, players with plenty of Under-21 experience, such as Scott Carson, David Prutton, David Dunn, and Jermaine Pennant, fail to step up a level. In addition, when Joe Cole returns to fitness in a few weeks' time, Milner's place in the full England squad may be in jeopardy but Capello has faith in him, describing him as "the future". The England manager loves pace and width, which is why he is so impressed with Milner who is quick, hard-working and has a wonderful touch with both feet. Also in his favour is Milner's level-headedness. He is mature beyond his years, shunning alcohol in favour of extra practice.

Attack
Michael Owen (Manchester United) Age 29 Caps 89
England could owe Sir Alex Ferguson an enormous debt of gratitude next summer. The Scot gave Owen the chance to revive his sinking career at a time when few managers would touch the striker with a very long bargepole. Owen's free transfer to Old Trafford means that his every goal and every miss will be assessed with an England recall in mind. It is almost two years since Owen took his international goal tally to 40 with a pair of goals against Russia in September 2007. The last time Owen appeared for England was 16 months ago when he was an ineffectual half-time substitute for Wayne Rooney in a 1-0 defeat by France. Yet Capello knows that Owen performing again at his best would be a certainty for the squad for South Africa. The pressure is certainly on the striker now, after four miserable seasons with Newcastle United. But already his arrival at Manchester United has marked a change in attitude from Capello. "The door is open," the England manager said about Owen last week.

Tipis, Inggris Tekuk Slovenia
Arya Perdhana - detiksport

London - Inggris tampil tidak terlalu meyakinkan dalam laga ujicoba menghadapi Slovenia di London. Meski lebih menguasai pertandingan, pasukan Fabio Capello 'cuma' menang 2-1.

Dua gol yang membawa Inggris bersukacita di Stadion Wembley, Minggu (6/9/2009) dinihari WIB, dicetak oleh Frank Lampard dan Jermain Defoe. Satu gol tim tamu dicetak Zlatan Ljubijankic.

Pertandingan ini menjadi pijakan terakhir Inggris sebelum menghadapi Kroasia dalam laga krusial penyisihan Piala Dunia 2010 menghadapi Kroasia di tempat yang sama, Rabu (9/9).

Jalannya pertandingan
Inggris kali ini tampil dengan kekuatan penuh, termasuk John Terry yang kebugarannya sempat diragukan. Di lini depan, Wayne Rooney berpasangan dengan Emile Heskey jadi ujung tombak The Three Lions.

Menit ketiga pertandingan, para pendukung Inggris dibuat deg-degan ketika sebuah serangan balik Slovenia memaksa kiper Robert Green memegang bola di luar kotak penalti. Ia beruntung karena wasit tak melihat dan ia lepas dari hukuman.

Slovenia kembali mengancam di menit ketujuh. Zlatko Dedic mengirim umpan kepada Milivoje Nonakovic yang kemudia lari melebar saat Green menerjang. Sayang bagi tim tamu karena tendangan Nonakovic melambung tinggi.

Serangan Inggris nyaris menemui hasil di menit 22. Sebuah tendangan sudut disambut Terry dengan sundulannya tetapi si kulit bundar melabrak mistar gawang Samir Handanovic.

Sembilan menit berselang, Inggris akhirnya membuka skor melalui penalti Frank Lampard. Penalti dijatuhkan wasit setelah Bostjan Cesar didakwa menarik baju Rooney. Putusan itu mengundang protes pemain Slovenia.

Inggris kembali digagalkan gawang saat mendapatkan peluang di menit 35. Dari tendangan sudut, bola disundul Matthew Upson ke arah Rooney, tetapi tendangan kaki kiri Roo melabrak tiang gawang.

Di babak kedua, Inggris sudah tidak seleluasa menguasai pertandingan seperti di babak pertama. Masuknya Jermain Defoe, Aaron Lennon dan Michael Carrick di masa jeda tak terlalu membantu pasukan Capello.

Walau begitu, Inggris akhirnya memetik gol kedua di menit 63. Kerjasama Lennon dengan Defoe diakhiri oleh yang terakhir ini dengan tendangan terarah dari luar kotak penalti yang menembus jala Handanovic. 2-0 bagi tuan rumah.

Menit 72, Rooney berkesempatan menyumbangkan gol untuk timnya saat umpan Lennon diteruskannya dengan tendangan dari jarak dekat. Sial baginya, bola dibuang Matej Mavric di garis gawang.

Setelah terus mencoba menyerang, Slovenia akhirnya mendapatkan gol hiburan di menit 84. Sebuah umpan dari Nejc Pecnik dimanfaatkan dengan sempurna oleh Zlatan Ljubijankic dengan diving headernya untuk jadi gol.

Saat wasit meniup peluit panjang, skor akhir tetap berkedudukan 2-1 bagi kemenangan Inggris.

Susunan pemain
Inggris: Green, Johnson, Upson (Lescott 64), Terry, A, Cole, Wright-Phillips (Lennon 46), Lampard (Carrick 46), Barry, Gerrard (Milner 46), Rooney (C. Cole 80), Heskey (Defoe 46)

Slovenia: Handanovic, Brecko, Suler, Cesar (Mavric 34), Jokic, Radosavljevic (Krhin 77), Koren, Kirm (Stevanovic 78), Dedic (Pecnik 71), Birsa (Komac 65), Novakovic (Ljubijankic 55).

Capello Sedih, Konsentrasi Inggris Melemah

LONDON, KOMPAS.com - Pelatih Inggris, Fabio Capello mengaku sedih melihat konsentrasi timnya yang melemah di 10 menit terakhir, pada pertandingan persahabatan lawan Slovenia di Stadion Wembley, Sabtu (5/9). Apalagi, gara-gara itu, Inggris kebobolan.

Inggris kurang tampil memuaskan lawan tim kecil itu. Inggris sempat unggul lewat tendangan penalti Frank Lampard di menit ke-31 dan tendangan jarak jauh Jermaine Defoe menit ke-63. Namun, pertahanan Inggris kurang konsentrasi, hingga Slovenia mampu memperkecil kekalahan pada menit ke-85.

"Saat Defoe mencetak gol, saya merasa bahagia. Saya mendapat banyak pelajaran. Ini pertandingan yang sulit, karena Slovenia bermain bagus," aku Capello.

"Namun, konsentrasi kami di 10 menit terakhir sangat buruk. Saya juga tak suka bola panjang. Dalam beberapa hal, saya bahagia. Tapi, hal lain seperti miskinnya konsentrasi di 10 menit terakhir, membuat saya sedih," keluhnya.

Rabu (9/9), Inggris akan menghadapi Kroasia di Zagreb. Pada pertemuan pertama, Inggris menang 4-1. Saat ini, Frank Lampard dkk memimpin klasemen Grup 6 dan kemenangan atas Kroasia akan memastikan mereka lolos ke Piala Dunia 2010.

"Saya yakin akan bermain bagus saat lawan Kroasia, asal konsentrasi kami tetap terjaga. Saya mendapat banyak pelajaran dari para pemain saya," katanya.

Di sisi lain, Capello senang dengan penampilan Emile Heskey. Meski mulai kehilangan tempat utama di Aston Villa, Heskey tampil bagus di timnas dan serasi dalam kerja sama dengan Wayne Rooney.

"Hesekey bermain bagus dan selalu membahayakan lawan dengan aksi individunya. Saya menariknya di babak kedua, hanya ingin mencari perbandingan bagaimana permainan pemain lain," jelasnya. (AP)

lagi2 di tuduh diving rooney :nohope:

Pemain Slovenia Kecam "Diving" Rooney

LONDON, KOMPAS.com — Kapten Inggris John Terry mungkin harus menarik pernyataannya soal pemain Inggris yang selalu jujur dalam bermain. Kemenangan Inggris dalam laga uji coba lawan Slovenia dinodai oleh aksi diving Wayne Rooney yang berbuntut gol pembuka lewat titik putih.

Inggris mendapatkan hadiah penalti melalui Frank Lampard setelah Rooney terjatuh saat berebut bola dengan Bostjan Cesar di kotak terlarang. Rooney yang sebelumnya menyatakan bahwa dia adalah pemain jujur yang tak suka diving tampak bersinggungan badan dengan Cesar. Rooney jatuh saat tangan Cesar tampak mengenai lengannya. Namun, Cesar berhasil menyentuh bola lebih dulu dan Rooney menendangnya hingga Cesar pun cedera dan keluar lapangan.

Adegan itu membuat para pemain Slovenia berang karena Cesar bakal absen dalam laga kualifikasi Piala Dunia 2010 lawan Polandia, Rabu (9/9). Gelandang West Bromwich Albion, Robert Koren, nyata-nyata menyebut Rooney bertindak berlebihan. "Banyak kritik soal diving pekan ini. Menurutku, Rooney jatuh dengan mudah. Lihat nanti apakah dia mendapat kritik," katanya.

Kiper Slovenia, Samir Handanovic, dan bek Aleksander Radosavljevic juga meragukan pelanggaran tersebut. Handanovic bahkan mengklaim bahwa pelanggaran itu semestinya berbuah tendangan bebas untuk timnya.

"Mereka mengejar bola, dan ketika dia terjatuh, Rooney menendang Cesar," kata penjaga gawang Udinese tersebut. "Itu sama sekali bukan penalti, itu pelanggaran untuk kami, dan Rooney semestinya mendapat kartu kuning."

"Itulah ganjaran bagi negara kecil," ujar Radosavljevic. "Kita semua melihat Rooney berduel dengan Cesar. Kami harus berjuang dengan cara itu, tapi yang lebih buruk dari penalti adalah Cesar absen pada laga hari Rabu."

Rooney sendiri tak mau menanggapi hal tersebut sehingga kejelasan soal insiden itu masih menyisakan tanda tanya.

Yah... Rooney mang lagi apes. Sebenernya menurutku banyak penyerang-penyerang yang melakukan hal yang sama saat kondisi seperti itu. hanya saja Rooney lagi sial karena melakukannya saat isu tentang DIVING lagi hot-hotnya. Memang sih pas nggak dalam situasi saat ini hal yang dilakukan Rooney kemaren juga bakalan jadi kontroversi, tapi karena diving saat ini lagi disorot habis jadinya apa yang dilakukan Roo jadi meledak berkali-kali lipat dari biasanya. Apalagi sebelumnya Roo dah bilang dia pemaen bersih, trus kejadian MU vs Arsenal kemaren yang panas jadi dah apa yang dilakukan Roo dapet sorotan lebih gede dari biasanya...

Apes bener si Roo... mending sekarang jangan diving-divingan dah.... jangan bikin kontroversi lagi, terutama yang ada hubungannya tentang diving. cukup tutup mulut dan lakukan tipe permainanmu yang ngotot seperti biasanya tanpa bumbu-bumbu diving.

Gerrard : Rooney Tidak Diving
Mohammad Resha Pratama - detiksport

London - Wayne Rooney kembali mendapat kecaman soal aksi diving-nya, kali ini protes muncul dari para pemain Slovenia. Namun pembelaan datang dari Steven Gerrard yang mengatakan kalau rekannya itu benar-benar dilanggar.

Kejadian itu bermula kala The Three Lions melakoni laga friendly melawan Slovenia akhir pekan lalu. Memasuki menit ke-32, Rooney yang mendapat umpan lambung dari Gerrard lalu beradu dengan Bostjan Cesar di dalam kotak penalti. Sesaat kemudian Rooney pun jatuh dan wasit langsung menunjuk titik putih.

Penalti tersebut sukses dikonversi jadi gol oleh Frank Lampard dan Inggris unggul 1-0 untuk kemudian menang 2-1 di akhir laga. Keputusan wasit tersebut mendapat protes dari kubu lawan. Mereka anggap Rooney hanya berpura-pura jatuh meski wasit anggap Cesar menarik baju Rooney dalam duel satu lawan satunya.

Ini berarti dalam sepekan, Rooney dua kali dituduh melakukan diving setelah minggu lalu ia dianggap melakukannya saat melawan Arsenal. Gerrard seketika menghampiri Rooney usai insiden tersebut dan striker Manchester United itu mengaku kalau dia ditarik kausnya dan bukan berakting hanya untuk mendapat keuntungan penalti.

"Wayne (Rooney) sepertinya berpikir kalau kaosnya ditarik. Aku langsung bertanya kepadanya apakah ada kontak dan Rooney mengatakan kalau dia didorong dari belakang," tutur Gerrard kepada Sky Sports.

"Aku sendiri tidak melihatnya dengan jelas karena saat itu posisiku sedang mengumpan. Namun, Wayne mengatakan bahwa telah terjadi kontak badan," pungkas skipper Liverpool itu.

Usai melawan Slovenia, pasukan Fabio Capello ini akan melakoni laga Kualifikasi Piala Dunia 2010 melawan Kroasia di Wembley pertengahan pekan ini. Tiga poin di tangan berarti juara dunia 1966 itu berhak tampil di Afsel tahun depan

Jelang Inggris vs Kroasia
Terry: Lawan Kroasia, Inggris Harus Agresif

Achmad Firdaus - Okezone
LONDON - Inggris akan menghadapi duel penuh emosi saat menjamu Kroasia pada lanjutan babak kualifikasi Piala Dunia 2010, Rabu (9/9/2009). Kapten The Three Lions John Terry pun sontak meminta rekan-rekannya untuk bermain lebih agresif.

Kemenangan atas Kroasia memang memiliki makna ganda bagi Inggris. Pertama, membalaskan dendam atas memori kelabu saat Inggris gagal berlaga di Euro 2008 setelah takluk 2-3 atas Kroasia di Wembley pada babak kualifikasi. Kedua, kemenangan akan mengantar skuad asuhan Fabio Capello ini mengikuti jejak Belanda dan Brasil memastikan satu tempat di Piala Dunia 2010, Afrika Selatan.

Fakta inilah yang membuat Terry sangat berharap timnya bisa tampil lebih baik dari penampilan saat menundukkan Slovenia 2-1 di laga persahabatan, akhir pekan lalu. Kapten Chelsea ini meminta rekan-rekannya tampil all-out sepanjang pertandingan.

"Saya kira, pentingnya menampilkan permainan apik di 10-15 menit pertama tak bisa dijadikan patokan," papar Terry sebagaimana dikutip Goal, Senin (7/9/2009).

"Dari sudut pandang pribadi, pertandingan terakhir menghadapi Kroasia di Zagreb merupakan pertandingan yang sangat mengusar fisik. Mereka telah mengatur tempo pertandingan sejak laga dimulai. Hal itulah yang harus kami lakukan nanti," tambahnya.

"Saya rasa, kami harus bermain agresif sejak 15 menit pertama laga," tandas bek yang siap mematikan pergerakan bomber-bomber ganas Kroasia macam Eduardo Da Silva dan Mladen Petric.

Defoe Siap Beri yang Terbaik buat Inggris
Achmad Firdaus - Okezone

LONDON - Jermain Defoe terus menunjukkan performa mengesankan bersama Timnas Inggris dalam beberapa pertandingan terakhir. Untuk itu, ia mengaku siap memberikan yang terbaik demi mendapat peran vital di Timnas pada Piala Dunia 2010 di Afrika Selatan.

Sejak dipanggil Fabio Capello di Timnas Italia, Defoe memang hanya mendapat peran sebagai pelapis dua bomber utama Wayne Rooney dan striker veteran Emile Heskey. Namun, meski kerap tampil dari bench, bomber Tottenham Hotspur ini tetap mampu membuktikan ketajamannya. Terakhir, Defoe menyumbang satu gol kala The Three Lions menundukkan Slovenia 2-1, akhir pekan lalu.

Dengan gol tersebut, Defoe pun berharap dirinya bakal mendapat jaminan satu tempat dari Capello di skuad utama Inggris. Jika nantinya mendapat kepercayaan penuh, maka bomber 26 tahun ini pun berjanji bakal memberikan yang terbaik.

"Setiap orang pasti ingin bermain. Tak ada pemain yang rela duduk di bench cadangan," papar Defoe sebagaimana dikutip The Sun, Senin (7/9/2009).

"Tapi, jika pada akhirnya saya mendapat kesempatan untuk menunjukkan kemapuan, maka saya akan melakukan yang terbaik," tambahnya.

"Untuk saat ini, saya harus terus bekerja keras dan melihat apa yang terjadi nanti. Saya bermain dengan para pemain hebat. Jadi, saya pasti akan mendapat kesempatan untuk mencetak gol atau bahkan berada di posisi mencetak gol. Kini, saya berada di posisi yang menguntungkan dan saya bahagia dengan hal ini," tutup Defoe.

Capello Tidak Marah dengan Johnson
Fetra Hariandja - Okezone

LONDON - Timnas Inggris kembali mendulang kemenangan setelah bermain 2-2 melawan Belanda dan dikalahkan Spanyol 0-2. Hasil sempurna The Three Lions dibukukan dengan menundukkan Slovenia 2-1 pada laga ujicoba, akhir pekan kemarin.

Meski mendulang kemenangan, media massa melayangkan kritik kepada bek kanan Glen Johnson. Punggawa Liverpool ini diklaim tidak mampu menunjukkan penampilan terbaiknya.

Menyikapi komentar media massa ini, pelatih Timnas Inggris Fabio Capello pun membeberkan penilaian sendiri tentang Johnson. Dia mengaku tidak merisaukan atau mempermasalahkan penampilan Johnson.

"Jangan khawatir, saya tidak memiliki masalah dengan Johnson," kata Capello kepada skysports, Senin (7/9/2009).

Menariknya, pelatih Slovenia Matjaz Kek justru memuji penampilan Johnson. Pemain 25 tahun tersebut dinilai sebagai ancaman nyata lini belakang lawan, kendati menjadi bek.

"Johnson adalah pemain yang sangat berbahaya," tegas Kek.

"Menghentikan dirinya sangat penting. Tapi ketika Anda bermain dengan terbuka, tentu meninggalkan banyak celah di barisan pertahanan," kilahnya.

Inggris Bidik Kemenangan Sempurna
Achmad Firdaus - Okezone

LONDON - Timnas Inggris membutuhkan tiga kemenangan lagi untuk menorehkan hasil sempurna pada babak kualifikasi Piala Dunia 2010. Namun, Inggris bakal meladeni tim tangguh di pertandingan kedelapan, saat menghadapi mush bebuyutannya Kroasia di Wembley, Rabu (9/9/2009).

Sejak ditangani Fabio Capello, Inggris kembali menjelma sebagai salah satu tim yang menakutkan dunia. Bersama arsitek Italia itu, John Terry dkk mencatatkan rekor gemilang, yakni menyapu bersih kemenangan di tujuh laga dari 10 pertandingan pada babak kualifikasi yang harus dilakoni.

Inggris membutuhkan satu kemenangan untuk lolos dan tiga kemenangan atas Kroasia, Ukraina dan Belarusia untuk mencatatkan rekor sempurna. Namun, Terry menilai laga menghadapi Kroasia bakal sulit karena skuad besutan Slaven Bilic itu bakal tampil habis-habisan untuk mengamankan satu tiket ke Afrika Selatan.

"Memenangkan 10 pertandingan di babak kualifikasi merupakan situasi yang sangat ideal bagi kami," papar Terry sebagaimana dilansir Goal, Senin (7/9/2009).

"Kami sadar, kami belum memastikan diri lolos dan laga menghadapi Kroasia pasti bakal berlangsung sengit," tambahnya.

"Mereka (Kroasia-red) harus menang untuk terus membuka peluang. Mereka pasti bakal tampil menyerang sejak pertandingan dimulai. Untuk itu, kami harus memastikan kami bermain dengan organisasi yang baik dan jeli dalam memanfaatkan peluang," tutup skipper Chelsea itu.

Capello: Saya yang Pilih Tandem Rooney
Azwar Ferdian - Okezone

LONDON - Beragam spekulasi dan saran media bermunculan menyoal siapakah striker yang pantas menjadi tandem Wayne Rooney, pada laga melawan Kroasia, Kamis (10/9/2009). Fabio Capello menegaskan bila keputusan mutlak di tangannya.

Kemenangan atas Kroasia adalah target utama Inggris, demi mendapat tiket lolos ke Piala Dunia 2010. Permasalahan yang ada saat ini adalah siapa partner Rooney di lini depan. Capello punya dua pilihan antara striker Aston Villa Emile Heskey dan bomber Tottenham Hospur, Jermain Defoe.

"Heskey dan Defoe adalah dua pemain yang penting bagi saya. Keduanya punya gaya berbeda, tapi sama-sama bagus. Kita akan lihat besok. Saya sudah punya gambaran yang pas soal masalah ini," jelas Capello seperti disitat reuters, Rabu (9/9/2009).

"Keputusan ada di tangan saya. Heskey dan Defoe bukanlah masalah yang harus diperdebatkan," lanjutnya. Merujuk pada laga persahabatan melawan Slovenia, Heskey adalah pilihan utama, dan Defoe menjadi cadangan. Defoe bisa diandalkan sebagai supersub, seperti yang dilakukan ke gawang Slovenia.

Capello juga meminta kepada pasukannya untuk tidak berpuas diri dengan situasi terakhir. "Kami masih memiliki tiga laga tersisa. Besok adalah yang pertama, dilanjutkan melawan Ukraina dan terakhir melawan Belarusia. Kami harus memenangkan salah satunya atau semuanya meraih hasil imbang."

Inggris ke Afsel dengan Gilas Kroasia 5-1
Arya Perdhana - detiksport

London - Inggris menyegel tiketnya ke putaran final Piala Dunia 2010 dengan gaya. John Terry dkk sukses menggilas tamunya, Kroasia, dengan skor 5-1 dalam laga di Stadion Wembley.

Duet motor lini tengah Frank Lampard dan Steven Gerrard menjadi protagonis kemenangan Inggris, Kamis (10/9/2009) dinihari WIB, dengan sumbangan masing-masing dua gol. Wayne Rooney menambahinya dengan gol terakhir dan Kroasia hanya bisa membalas lewat Eduardo da Silva.

Hasil ini mengantar Inggris tak terkejar di posisi teratas Grup 6 zona Eropa dengan nilai 24. Kroasia masih setia menguntit di posisi kedua dengan nilai 17, tetapi Ukraina mula mengancam.

Jalannya pertandingan
Pertandingan baru berusia tujuh menit ketika Inggris telah dihadiahi penalti oleh wasit akibat Aaron Lennon yang tengah berakselerasi menuju kotak penalti Kroasia dijegal Josip Simunic.

Lampard yang bertindak sebagai eksekutor dengan mulus melesakkan bola ke sisi kanan kiper Vedran Runje. 1-0 bagi The Three Lions.

Runje berhasil menyelamatkan Kroasia dari kebobolan kedua di menit 13. Dari umpan Lennon di kanan, Gareth Barry menyambar bola dengan tendangan keras tetapi Runje melompat ke kanan menepis si kulit bundar.

Tapi senyum Runje hanya bertahan lima menit karena di menit 18, gawangnya kebobolan lagi. Gerrard membagi bola ke Lennon di kanan dan umpan silang Lennon ditanduk Gerrard ke tiang jauh Runje dan Inggris pun unggul 2-0.

Runje menyelamatkan gawangnya sekali lagi di menit 28. Tendangan bebas Lampard yang deras meluncur dari luar kotak penalti ditipnya untuk jadi tendangan sudut.

Dua kans Inggris di menit 35 dan 43 kembali gagal membuahkan hasil karena Lennon dan Emile Heskey tidak sanggup menaklukkan Runje. Babak pertama pun ditutup dengan keunggulan 2-0 Inggris.

Saat Kroasia mencoba mengejar, Inggris justru menjauh lewat gol kedua Lampard di menit 59. Glen Johnson mengirim umpan silang yang dengan mudah ditanduk Lampard yang tak terjaga. 3-0 Inggris melaju.

Serangan dari sayap kanan kembali membawa Inggris mendapat gol. Rooney yang bergerak di sayap mengirim umpan lambung dan Gerrard dengan jitu menyundulnya menembus gawang Runje untuk kali keempat.

Kroasia sempat mendapatkan harapan saat Eduardo mencetak gol balasan di menit 71. Dari kemelut di mulut gawang Robert Green, Eduardo menyambar bola muntah untuk memperkecil skor jadi 1-4.

Namun hanya sampai di situ perlawanan Kroasia. Inggris akhirnya memetik gol kelima melalui kaki Rooney. Gol ini bermula dari kegagalan Runje membuang bola back pass dan Rooney dengan tenang menyodok masuk bola ke gawang Kroasia.

Kemenangan 5-1 Inggris ini lestari hingga peluit panjang berbunyi dan seisi Wembley pun merayakan kelolosan tim 'Tiga Singa' ke Afrika Selatan tahun depan.

Susunan pemain
Inggris: Green; Johnson, Terry, Upson, Ashley Cole; Lennon (Beckham 81), Barry, Lampard, Gerrard (Milner 81); Rooney, Heskey (Defoe 60)

Kroasia: Runje; Srna, Krizanac, Simunic, Pranjic; Mandzukic, Vukojevic, Pokrivac (Rakitic 46), Kranjcar; Eduardo (Klasnic 73), Olic (Petric 46)

'20 Menit Awal yang Fantastis'
Mohammad Resha Pratama - detiksport

http://www.detiksport.com/images/content/2009/09/10/73/capello-i.jpg

London - Inggris berhasil lolos ke Piala Dunia 2010 usai memetik kemenangan atas Kroasia. Disebut Fabio Capello kalau kunci kemenangan timnya ketika 'Tiga Singa' bermain fantastis di 20 menit awal laga tersebut.

"20 menit terbaik di sebuah pertandingan kualifikasi, fantastis," seru Capello usai laga yang dimenangi Inggris dengan skor 5-1, Kamis (10/9/2009) dinihari WIB yang dikutip Reuters.

Inggris yang berambisi ingin lolos ke Afrika Selatan tahun depan langsung tancap gas begitu laga dimulai. Alhasil dalam kurun waktu di atas, Inggris pun langsung unggul 2-0 lewat penalti Frank Lampard dan Steven Gerrard. Serta merta ketertinggalan itu membuat mental Kroasia jadi jatuh dan mereka pun tak mampu bangkit di waktu tersisa.

Di babak kedua pun, Inggris tetap tampil dominan dan menambah dua gol lagi lewat Lampard dan Gerrard sebelum ditutup oleh Wayne Rooney. Kroasia mendapat gol hiburan dari kaki Eduardo da Silva.

Sebuah penampilan yang berbeda kala Inggris menghadapi Slovenia akhir pekan lalu di mana mereka hanya mampu menang 2-1 dari tim yang secara kelas di bawah Kroasia.

"Kami terus menekan ketika lawan memegang bola dan passing kami sangat, sangat bagus ketika memegang bola. Kami berlatih dengan baik kemarin dan wajah para pemain pun berbeda," analisa Capello mengenai kemajuan pesat yang dialami timnya.

Untuk itu pun, Capello tak segan mengutarakan rasa bahagianya dapat mengantarkan Inggris menuju perhelatan sepakbola paling akbar di dunia itu, setelah dua tahun lalu terpuruk usai kegagalan ke Piala Eropa.

"Semangat, konsentrasi di setiap waktu, pergerakan para pemain. Aku sangat puasa dengan semuanya itu," tutur pelatih berjuluk Don Fabio itu.

Meski berasal dari Italia yang dikenal sebagai penganut sepakbola defensif, Capello berhasil menyulap St George Cross menjadi tim yang terproduktif di PPD 2010 Zona Eropa dengan 31 gol dari delapan laga yang telah dijalani.

Inggris pun memastikan lolos juga ketika laga tinggal tersisa dua lagi, karena nilai mereka sebagai pemimpin Grup 6 tak akan terkejar oleh Kroasia maupun Ukraina.

Dengan fakta tersebut, apakah Capello yakin kalau timnya berpeluang besar untuk merebut titel juara dunia keduanya setelah tahun 1966?"Itu tidak akan mudah, aku tahu bagaimana sulitnya bermain di Piala Dunia."

"Tapi kami punya waktu. Yang terpentin adalah kondisi fisik pemain saat itu sama dengan sekarang dan kami harus bermain dengan semangat seperti malam ini. Tapi harapan Inggris untuk itu bakal selalu sama," tuntasnya.

Fantastis, Inggris Calon Juara Dunia
Rossi Finza Noor - detiksport

http://www.detiksport.com/images/content/2009/09/10/73/InggrisGolLampardAFP-isi.jpg

London - Pelatih Kroasia Slaven Bilic menggambarkan permainan Inggris kala menumbangkan timnya 1-5 dengan satu kata; fantastis. Oleh karenanya tak heran jika The Three Lions jika menjadi juara dunia tahun depan.

Pada pertandingan yang dihelat di Stadion Wembley, Kamis (10/9/2009) dinihari WIB, pasukan Bilic dihancurkan lewat dua gol Frank Lampard dan Steven Gerrard, serta satu gol dari Wayne Rooney. Atas kemenangan ini, Inggris pun mengantongi tiket ke Piala Dunia 2010.

Bilic mengaku dirinya tak mempredkisikan bisa kalah seperti ini, tidak di dalam mimpi buruk sekali pun. Ia menilai tim arahan Fabio Capello itu memang tampil sempurna sejak awal pertandingan.

"Kami tak membayangkan hal ini di dalam mimpi buruk kami sekali pun. Mereka benar-benar fantastis sejak awal. Mereka bermain dengan cara mereka sendiri dan mereka terlihat tajam, sebuah tim yang lebih agresif bahkan sebelum gol pertama terjadi," ujarnya di situs resmi FIFA.

"Kami senang karena di babak pertama hanya tertinggal 0-2 karena bisa saja kami kebobolan lima. Kiper kami (Vedran Runje) tampil bagus. Ketika kami kemasukan gol ketiga, kami sudah tak bisa mengejar lagi."

Ketika ditanya apakah Inggris bisa menjadi juara dunia tahun depan, pria yang semasa bermain berposisi sebagai bek ini mengatakan, "Melihat permainan mereka malam ini, tentu saja. Tetapi tak gampang bermain seperti malam ini di setiap pertandingan."

"Mereka baru gagal melakukan operan setelah setengah jam. Operan satu-dua mereka sempurna. Jika mereka bisa terus bermain seperti ini, tentu saja mereka bisa jadi juara," tukasnya. ( roz / mrp )

Inggris Lolos, Terry Diludahi
Doni Wahyudi - detiksport

http://www.detiksport.com/images/content/2009/09/10/73/Terry-AFP150.jpg

London - Lewat kemenangan besar 5-1 atas Kroasia, Inggris mendapat tiket lolos ke Piala Dunia 2010. Di saat bersamaan, John Terry mengaku dapat perlakuan buruk dari pemain lawan karena dia diludahi.

Adalah Ivan Klasnic yang dituduh Terry telah meludahinya dalam laga yang berlangsung di Stadion Wembley, Kamis (10/9/2009) dinihari WIB. Klasnic, yang musim panas kemarin meneken kontrak dengan Bolton Wanderers, masuk di menit 73 menggantikan Eduardo da Silva.

Diberitakan DailyMail, kejadian tersebut berlangsung tak lama setelah Klasnic masuk ke dalam lapangan. Soal apa yang menyebabkan sang striker melakukan tindakan tidak sportif itu, tak diketahui dengan jelas.

"Pemain bernomor 17 meludahi saya. Itu bukan reaksi yang baik. Dia mungkin frustasi, tapi itu sama sekali bukan sesuatu yang baik," ungkap Terry usai pertandingan.

Buat Terry kejadian tersebut mungkin masuk kategori luar biasa buatnya mengingat baru sekali ini dia diludahi lawan. Namun karena di saat bersamaan Inggris menang besar dan mem-booking satu tempat di Afrika Selatan, sang kapten tak mau memperpanjang masalah tersebut.

"Sepanjang karir saya, dia adalah orang pertama yang meludahi saya. Sangat mengecewakan melihat kejadian tersebut, tapi itu tak akan merusak malam yang luar biasa ini," ungkap Terry kemudian.

Saat disinggung soal kejadian tersebut, pelatih Slaven Bilic memilih untuk meredam ketegangan yang terjadi. Pelatih 40 tahun itu mengaku sudah berbicara dengan Terry untuk membahas masalah tersebut.

"Saya pikir pertandingannya berjalan cukup adil. Saya tak tahu. Tapi saya sudah berbicara dengan terry dan dia baik-baik saja," tegas Billic. ( din / a2s )

'Tiga Singa' Bisa Lebih Baik Lagi
Doni Wahyudi - detiksport

http://www.detiksport.com/images/content/2009/09/10/73/Inggris-AFP285.jpg

London - Delapan kemenangan dari delapan pertandingan plus agregat gol yang surplus 26 membuat Inggris jadi tim dengan statistik terbaik di Eropa. Dengan catatan tersebut, The Three Lions diklaim bisa lebih bagus lagi.

Kedatangan Fabio Capello ke Inggris benar-benar membawa perubahan besar buat tim negara tersebut. Setelah dua tahun lalu gagal lolos ke Euro 2008, malam tadi mereka sudah memesan tiket ke Piala Dunia 2010 usai memetik kemenangan besar dengan skor 5-1 atas Kroasia.

Skor besar sesungguhnya cuma bumbu penyedap karena di balik itu John Terry cs menunjukkan performa luar biasa sepanjang babak kualifikasi. Bersama Belanda dan Spanyol, Inggris menjadi salah satu tim di Eropa yang meraih hasil 100% kemenangan hingga matchday kedelapan dinihari tadi.

Namun anak asuh Capello punya catatan yang lebih baik dibanding skuad besutan Bert van Marwijk. Dengan 31 gol yang dilesakkan, Inggris menjadi tim paling produktif di zona UEFA. Mereka unggul jauh atas Jerman (24 gol) serta Spanyol dan Slovakia yang masing-masing membukukan 21 gol.

Dengan seluruh raihan tersebut, beberapa pengamat menyebut kalau Inggris di bawah Capello bahkan lebih hebat dibanding skuad tahun 1966, di mana mereka untuk kali pertama dan terakhir menjuarai Piala Dunia.

Kalau kemudian Slaven Billic menjagokan Inggris jadi juara dunia, itu mungkin cukup beralasan. Yang jelas, menurut klaim John Terry, performa rekan-rekannya saat ini masih bisa lebih baik lagi.

"Kami masih ingin terus berkembang dan membuat banyak kemajuan di skuad ini. Inilah tempat yang kami ingin-inginkan, berkompetisi dalam level dan standar seperti ini," ungkap sang kapten di TheSun.

Jalan Inggris menjadi juara dunia jelas masih sangat panjang. Dan untuk di Kualifiksi Piala Dunia 2010 ini mereka harus membuktikan klaim Terry di atas dengan meraih kemenangan atas Belarusia dan Ukraina di dua laga terakhirnya.

'Singa-singa Capello Tak Punya Tandingan'
Kris Fathoni W - detiksport

http://www.detiksport.com/images/content/2009/09/10/548/Ing6-isi.jpg

Jakarta - Euforia melanda Inggris usai menggasak Kroasia, tim yang menggagalkan 'Tiga Singa' ke Piala Eropa 2008, dengan skor telak 5-1. Skuad Fabio Capello saat ini bahkan digadang sebagai tak punya tanding.

Berkat kemenangan luar biasa Inggris memastikan tiket babak utama Piala Dunia di Afrika Selatan tahun depan. Selain itu puja-puji juga membanjiri, menerbitkan optimisme tinggi.

Tengok secuplik pujian Slaven Bilic, pelatih tim Kroasia yang baru saja diterkam Inggris. "Mereka benar-benar fantastis sejak awal. Operan satu-dua mereka sempurna. Jika mereka bisa terus bermain seperti ini, tentu saja mereka bisa jadi juara (Piala Dunia)," simpul Bilic.

Mendapat pujian semacam itu siapa yang tidak bangga? Pada dasarnya, racikan Capello memang terbilang layak menuai pujian. Faktanya mereka sudah mengamankan tiket Piala Dunia dengan rekor selalu menang dari delapan laga, di mana puncak performanya dinilai sudah ditampilkan saat lawan Kroasia.

"Kami menang 5-1 dan penampilan tim amat sangat penting. Saya pikir kami memainkan 20 menit pertama terbaik dalam laga kualifikasi Piala Dunia kami sejauh ini," aku Capello di Sky Sport.

Meski demikian, Capello belum mau kepedean. Kalau Bilic sudah bilang Inggris bisa saja jadi kampiun di Afrika Selatan, Capello masih belum mau memberi janji apa-apa. "Kami pastinya belum jadi tim terbaik di dunia, kami harus menanti sampai Juni nanti saat kami bermain di Afrika Selatan."

Capello boleh masih mengusung kewaspadaan atau tak ingin memberi prediksi dulu, tapi euforia niscaya sudah kadung menjalari negara yang baru sekali menjadi Juara Dunia, pada tahun 1966 silam, tersebut.

Silakan lihat kolom Harry Redknapp di The Sun, misalnya. Manajer klub Tottenham Hotspur itu tampak amat sangat optimistis dengan kans negaranya menjadi tim terbaik di dunia usai melihat performa lawan Kroasia.

"Fase pertama sudah tuntas dan tak diragukan lagi kita semua akan disuruh jangan pede-pede amat mengenai kans Inggris di Piala Dunia nanti. (Tapi) Kenapa kita tidak boleh membicarakan tentang skuad terbaik Inggris sejak 1970?"

Sudah sekian tahun Inggris memang harus terpuruk dalam kekecewaan mendalam karena sudah lebih dulu menaruh kepercayaan diri berlebih, hanya untuk menemui hasil yang hadir kemudian malah jauh dari harapan. Tapi sekali lagi Redknapp menekankan bahwa 'Singa-singa Inggris' yang ada saat ini tidaklah sama.

"Kami punya sekumpulan pemain yang tak bisa disamai oleh siapapun. Kita sering mendengar tentang Spanyol si juara Eropa, tapi bahkan mereka tak punya bek yang lebih baik ketimbang John Terry dan Rio Ferdinand."

"Inggris bisa menandingi negara manapun di dunia dan tim ini dibimbing manajer top Fabio Capello. Ini adalah skuad yang lebih baik, lebih seimbang dan lebih matang dibandingkan saat di Jerman 2006," analisa Redknapp.

Sejauh ini, Inggris adalah satu dari tiga tim yang masih mencatat hasil sempurna alias selalu menang di kualifikasi zona Eropa. Dua tim lain adalah Spanyol dan Belanda.

"Saya tidak melihat kenapa kami tak bisa menjadi juara dunia seperti tahun 1966 saat Bobby Moore mengangkat Jules Rimet di Wembley. Kini Inggris punya seorang manajer hebat yang bisa memaksimalkan bakat pemainnya, saya melihat tak ada yang bisa menghalangi laju Inggris," seru Redknapp.

Akan sampai ke puncak atau malah kecewa lagi? Kita tunggu saja aksi Singa-singa Capello tahun depan.

Capello 'Kekang' WAG's
Narayana Mahendra Prastya - detiksport

http://www.detiksport.com/images/content/2009/09/11/73/istripemain.jpg

London - Musim panas tahun depan, WAG's dipastikan akan melancong ke Afrika Selatan usai Inggris dipastikan lolos ke Piala Dunia. Namun, kebebasan seperti empat tahun silam tak akan didapatkan, karena pelatih Fabio Capello 'mengekang' WAG's.

Inggris memastikan lolos ke Piala Dunia 2010 usai menekuk Kroasia 5-1 dalam laga yang digelar Kamis (10/9/2009) dinihari WIB.

Itu berarti, untuk tahun depan para WAG's akan melakoni liburan musim panas ke Afrika Selatan sembari menemani suami atau kekasih mereka berjuang merebut juara dunia.

Namun, WAG's harus siap-siap sedikit lebih repot ketika menjalani liburan di Afrika Selatan. Pasalnya, pelatih timnas Inggris Fabio Capello tidak ingin mereka berada terlalu dekat dengan para punggawa 'Tiga Singa' selama turnamen berlangsung.

"Kami ke Afrika Selatan untuk bertanding, bukan liburan," seru Capello seperti dilansir dari Telegraph.

"Selama di Afrika Selatan, para pemain harus tinggal bersama. Mereka akan saya izinkan untuk bertemu dengan istri, pacar, atau keluarga sehari setelah kami menjalani pertandingan," lanjut Don Fabio.

Pria asal Italia itu boleh jadi teringat peristiwa empat tahun silam. Saat itu, kamp latihan Inggris dan hotel tempat WAG's menginap jaraknya cukup dekat. Kondisi tersebut membuat sorotan media terhadap mereka cukup kencang, dan dinilai membuyarkan konsentrasi pasukan 'Tiga Singa'.

"Ketika itu saya bagaikan menyaksikan pertunjukan teater dan sepakbola menjadi hal yang dikesampingkan," demikian kenang bek Rio Ferdinand. ( nar / roz )

Beckham Rela Posisinya Direbut Lennon

http://www.kompas.com/data/photo/2009/09/11/0427304p.jpg

LONDON, KOMPAS.com - Mantan kapten Inggris, David Beckham, harus mengakui bahwa kariernya bersama "Three Lions" sudah nyaris habis. Posisinya di sayap kanan mulai banyak penggantinya. Kini, Aaron Lennon menunjukkan kemampuan terbaiknya, saat membela Inggris untuk menggilas Kroasia, 5-1.

Beckham terus memperbaiki performanya untuk bisa masuk skuad inti timnas. Bahkan, musim lalu, ia rela mengisi waktu libur kompetisi MLS (Major League Soccer) dengan bergabung bersama AC Milan. Namun, pelatih Fabio Capello tampaknya cukup menempatkan Beckham sebagai pemain cadangan.

Dia lebih memercayai Lennon untuk berada di sayap kanan. Strategi Capello tepat. Saat Inggris menjamu Kroasia, Lennon tampil trengginas. Pergerakannya yang cepat membuat barisan belakang "Tim Papan Catur" kalang-kabut. Puncaknya, ketika gol Steven Gerrard tercipta. Lennon yang menjadi kreator dengan memberikan umpan silang kepada Gerrard.

Walau begitu, Beckham menujukkan sportivitas dengan memuji Lennon. Menurut dia, Lennon lebih baik daripada dirinya karena mempunyai kemampuan luar biasa. "Seorang pemain yang memiliki kecepatan. Dia (Lennon) memberi kontribusi lebih besar daripada diriku," aku Beckham.

"Aaron adalah pemain luar biasa. Ketika bermain untuk Inggris, dia selalu tampil bagus. Dia juga bermain bagus untuk klubnya Tottenham dan penampilannya saat latihan selama sepuluh hari juga mengesankan. Dia mempunyai kesempatan berharga dan telah mengambilnya.

Wenger Favoritkan Inggris di Afrika Selatan

http://media.vivanews.com/thumbs/68988_arsene_wenger_thumb_300_225.jpg

VIVAnews - Arsene Wenger memfavoritkan Inggris akan berjaya di Piala Dunia 2010. Itu bukan karena Manajer Arsenal itu telah lama mencari nafkah di Inggris.

Wenger meyakini bahwa Inggris punya kapasitas untuk menjadi salah satu kandidat juara PD 2010. Penilaian Wenger didasarkan kepada kemampuan skuad Fabio Capello usai menghajar Kroasia 5-1 dan memastikan lolos ke Afsel.

"Inggris layak menjadi salah satu favorit kuat," sebut Wenger di situs Arsenal. "Mereka punya segalanya untuk itu."

Menurut Sang Profesor, skuad The Three Lions saat ini sangat percaya diri. Itu didukung persiapan bagus di bawah asuhan salah satu pelatih terbaik di dunia, Fabio Capello.

"Generasi (Steven) Gerrard, (Frank) Lampard, (Rio) Ferdinand dan (Wayne) Rooney berada dalam usia emas. Mereka juga punya manajer hebat," lanjut Wenger.

"Semua elemen itu akan mendukung kesuksesan Inggris," tutup Wenger.

Dilihat dari hasil selama kualifikasi PD 2010, Inggris memang sangat perkasa. The Three Lions memuncaki Grup 6 dengan nilai sempurna: 24 dari delapan laga alias Inggris selalu menang.

Poin sempurna ini hanya bisa disaingi juara Eropa, Spanyol di Grup 5 dan Belanda di Grup 9. Kebetulan, tiga negara ini juga telah lolos ke Afrika Selatan mewakili Eropa.

Rooney Diving, Fans Inggris Bersorak

http://bola.okezone.com/images-data/content/2009/09/11/45/256663/s8hBl47ZXB.jpg

LONDON - Gelandang serang Arsenal Eduardo da Silva terus diserang petinggi Manchester United. Aksi kubu The Red Devils ini rupanya membuat muak pelatih The Gunners Arsene Wenger. Arsitek asal Prancis tersebut melancarkan serangan balasan yang dialamatkan kepada striker Wayne Rooney.

Seperti diketahui Eduardo diklaim berbagai pihak melakukan diving ketika Arsenal menggilas Celtic 2-0 pada babak kualifikasi Liga Champions. Sedangkan, publik sepakbola dunia menyaksikan Rooney melakukan diving yang berbuah penalti saat menjegal Slovenia 2-1 pada laga persahabatan.

Wenger menegaskan penggemar Inggris akan bersorak-sorai dari atas atap bila Rooney diving untuk memenangkan Piala Dunia.

"Eduardo membuat sedikit lebih dari itu tapi menonton di televisi dan itu adalah bagian dari permainan," kata Wenger seperti disitat reuters, Jumat (11/9/2009).

"Hal ini menjadi beda tipis antara cerdas dan menipu wasit. Anda tidak bisa membuktikan maksud dari orang yang disentuh. Dia terjatuh dan memperlihatkan kepada wasit bahwa itu adalah penalti," tegas Wenger.

"Ini situasi yang sangat emosional. Menjadi seorang pahlawan atau seorang penipu sangat tergantung pada sisi apa Anda berada di lapangan. Inggris ada di Piala Dunia dan bila Rooney melakukan itu di menit terakhir pertandingan maka Inggris memenangkan Piala Dunia. Setelah melakukan diving, apakah Anda benar-benar yakin Rooney akan 'disembelih' keesokan harinya?," papar Wenger.

Piala Dunia 2010
Mengintip Markas Inggris Senilai Rp 329 M di Afsel
Doni Wahyudi - detiksport

http://www.detiksport.com/images/content/2009/09/11/73/Inggris-Reuters285.jpg

Jakarta - Inggris menunjukkan keseriusan untuk mewujudkan target jadi juara dunia. FA kabarnya sudah menyiapkan markas berfasilitas mewah senilai Rp 329 M buat The Three Lions di Afrika Selatan.

Hingga kini FA sebenarnya belum mengumumkan daerah mana yang akan dipilih sebagai markas Inggris saat Piala Dunia resmi dimulai pertengahan tahun depan. Namun Dailymail mengindikasikan kalau sebuah propinsi di bagian selatan negara tersebut bakal jadi tempat menetap John Terry cs selama mengikuti Piala Dunia.

Disebutkan kalau lokasi yang nantinya jadi markas timnas Inggris itu adalah di Rustenburg, persisnya di kaki gunung Magaliesberg. Fabio Capello sendiri yang memilih tempat tersebut lantaran lokasinya yang berada di dataran tinggi akan banyak membantu Inggris mengasah kondisi fisik demi mengulang sukses jadi juara seperti di tahun 1966 silam.

Bukan hanya letak geografis saja yang membuat Inggris memilih Rustenburg. Soalnya Rustenburg selama ini dikenal dengan keberadaan Royal Bafokeng Sport Campus. Sebuah kompleks olahraga yang terdiri dari hotel mewah yang lengkap dengan kolam renang, beragam fasilitas medis dan 14 lapangan untuk menggelar latihan.

Berdiri di atas tanah seluas 150 are (sekitar 60,7 hektar), komplek yang masih dalam tahap penyelesaian itu disebutkan bernilai 20.000.000 poundsterling atau sekitar Rp 329 miliar.

"Kami berharap menemukan lokasi latihan yang bagus di Afrika Selatan. Kami akan berlatih di dataran tinggi, 1.300 meter (di atas permukaan laut). Dengan begitu kami tak akan punya masalah saat bertanding," ungkap Capello seperti diberitakan Timesonline.

Berbeda dengan markas Inggris di Piala Dunia 2006, Piala Eropa 2004 dan Piala Dunia 2002, yang berada di wilayah bersuhu panas, skuad The Three Lions kali ini akan mendapat camp yang jauh lebih sejuk. Ini juga demi membiasakan pemain untuk berlaga dalam temperatur Kota Johannesburg yang suhu maksimalnya di Bulan Juni dan Juli hanya 17 derajat celcius.

Meski begitu, Inggris dikabarkan tak akan mudah untuk bisa menjadikan Rustenburg sebagai pusat kegiatan mereka sepanjang Piala Dunia nanti. Timesonline menyebut kalau setidaknya ada lima negara lain yang mengincar lokasi yang sama yakni Prancis, Jerman, Italia, Brasil dan bahkan Argentina yang peluangnya lolos kini terbilang kecil.

Disebutkan kalau FIFA akan turun tangan langsung jika keenam negara tersebut tetap pada pendirian untuk menjadikan komplek Royal Bafokeng Sport Campus.

Capello Larang Pemain Mengumbar Asmara

http://www.kompas.com/data/photo/2009/09/06/0417148p.jpg

LONDON, KOMPAS.com — Seusai membawa timnas Inggris ke putaran final Piala Dunia 2010, pelatih Fabio Capello kembali memperingatkan para pemainnya untuk tidak menebar kepuasan. Ia meminta agar pemainnya tak terlalu sering bertemu dengan kekasih mereka pada saat pertandingan nanti.

Ini bukan pertama kalinya Capello membuat peraturan ketat terhadap para pasukannya. Begitu ditunjuk sebagai pengganti Sven Goran tahun lalu, pelatih asal Italia itu langsung memberlakukan disiplin keras untuk John Terry dkk. Media massa bahkan menyebutnya sebagai diktator dan selalu menunjukkan muka serius di hadapan pemain.

Hal itu bisa dimaklumi karena Capello tak ingin pemainnya dibuai oleh gaya hidup serba mewah sehingga mengundang gadis-gadis cantik untuk mendekati mereka. Gaya hidup seperti itulah yang dianggap menghancurkan "The Three Lions" dalam kualifikasi Piala Eropa 2008 silam.

Jauh hari sebelum Inggris memastikan diri lolos ke Afrika Selatan, media di sana sudah memberitakan soal tempat penginapan yang akan digunakan Terry dkk di benua Afrika itu. Tempat ini sangat mewah dan pasti akan menyenangkan para pemain dan kekasihnya.

Namun, Capello kembali memberikan ultimatum agar setiap pemain menjauhi senang-senang bersama para wanita, entah itu istri, pacar, atau hubungan tanpa status mereka. Ia hanya memperkenankan pemain bertemu dengan pasangannya pada hari seusai pertandingan, sama seperti yang pernah diterapkan Glenn Hoddle pada Piala Dunia Perancis 1998.

"Tidak, tidak, tidak, benar-benar tidak. Kami di sana untuk bermain, bukan liburan," tegas Capello.

"Pemain akan punya waktu sehari bersama kekasih atau temannya. Satu hari seusai pertandingan. Itu cukup. Jika kekasih mereka tak datang di hari itu, sebaiknya mereka tinggal di rumah," sambungnya.

Untuk persiapan Piala Dunia nanti, Inggris akan melakukan sejumlah pertandingan uji coba. Capello merencanakan untuk menantang Brasil pada November mendatang. (*)

Bonus Besar Menanti Capello dan Pemain Inggris

http://www.kompas.com/data/photo/2009/09/11/0621247p.jpg

LONDON, KOMPAS.com - Bonus besar sudah menanti pelatih Fabio Capello jika ia berhasil membawa Inggris juara dunia 2010. FA menyiapkan dua juta poundsterling atau lebih dari Rp 33 miliar untuk bonus sang pelatih.

The Times mengungkapkan, saat ini Capello menjadi pelatih termahal di dunia dengan gaji pokok 4,8 juta pounds atau Rp 80 miliar per tahun. Dalam kesepakatannya dengan FA pada Desember 2007, pelatih asal Italia itu akan menerima bonus hampir separuh gaji tersebut jika "The Three Lions" mampu memenangi gelar juara dunia kedua kalinya.

Jumlah itu bukan akumulasi bonus selama Inggris tampil di Afrika Selatan mulai dari fase grup sampai final. Kontrak tersebut menyebutkan bahwa Capello akan menerima sejumlah imbalan tambahan jika berhasil meloloskan Inggris dari babak kualifikasi. Namun, Capello menolak bonus untuk setiap jenjang turnamen baik itu babak fase gugur, perempat final, maupun semifinal. Bonus baru diberikan jika Inggris memang bisa mencapai babak puncak dan menang.

Selain bonus untuk pelatih, FA juga menyiapkan imbalan kepada pemain-pemain senior Inggris yang sudah membela tim tersebut sejak 2006. David Beckham, John Terry, dan pemain lain bisa mendapatkan tambahan 300.000 pounds asalkan mereka juara.

Secara total FA akan menggelontorkan 10 juta pounds untuk bonus pemain dan pelatih. Jumlah ini masih sedikit jika dibandingkan pemasukan yang akan mereka dapatkan. Dari sponsor seperti Nationwide, National Express, Carlsberg, dan Umbro, otoritas sepak bola itu bisa mendapatkan pemasukan puluhan juta pounds. Carlsberg, misalnya, baru sepakat dengan kontrak empat tahun senilai 50 juta pounds dengan FA.

Jika juara, Inggris sudah pasti menerima hadiah dari FIFA. Pada Piala Dunia 2006 lalu, Italia mendapat 16 juta pounds usai menjadi kampiun di Jerman.

Blatter: Inggris akan Untungkan Piala Dunia

http://www.kompas.com/data/photo/2009/09/23/0225307p.jpg

LONDON, KOMPAS.com - Keberhasilan Inggris lolos ke putaran final Piala Dunia 2010 disambut gembira oleh Presiden FIFA, Sepp Blatter. Inggris akan memberikan banyak keuntungan bagi Afrika Selatan selaku penyelenggara turnamen.

Inggris yang mengklaim diri sebagai tempat asal sepak bola menjadi negara yang memiliki liga sepak bola terpanas di jagat ini. Pesona tim-tim Premier League telah menarik penggemar dari seluruh dunia. Diperkirakan 50.000 pendukung "The Three Lions" akan datang ke Afsel pada Juni 2010 nanti.

"Penting ketika negara asal sepak bola lolos ke Piala Dunia. Inggris akan membawa banyak suporter dan dunia senang tim ini berada di sana. Penduduk Afsel juga senang," katanya.

Lolosnya John Terry dkk juga disambut baik oleh pihak sponsor. Coca-Cola sebagai salah satu sponsor terbesar FIFA merasa kehadiran mereka bakal memuluskan pemasaran produk-produk sponsor.

"(Inggris) masih menjadi salah satu tim terbesar dan terpenting, baik dalam sepak bola maupun dari segi pemasaran," ujar Jo Tripodi, Kepala Pemasaran Coca-Cola.

Coca-Cola dan FIFA rencananya akan melakukan tur dengan membawa trofi Piala Dunia melalui 86 negara. Inggris menjadi salah satu lokasi tujuan tur pada bulan Maret 2010 mendatang. Dua bulan sebelumnya, trofi itu akan mampir ke Indonesia, yang mencalonkan diri sebagai calon tuan rumah 2018 dan 2022.

Inggris Tantang Brasil di Qatar
Narayana Mahendra Prastya - detiksport

(AFP/ Carl de Souza)
London - Asosiasi sepakbola Inggris FA mengkofirmasikan pertandingan persahabatan kontra Brasil di Qatar, November mendatang. Apa tujuan yang ingin dicapai pelatih Fabio Capello lewat ujicoba ini?

Diberitakan AFP, The Three Lions akan menjajal kekuatan Samba di Stadion Internasional Khalifa, Doha, Qatar, 14 November mendatang.

"Bermain melawan tim sekelas Brasil merupakan sesuatu yang penting bagi kami. Dari laga ini, kami bisa mengetahui lebih jauh kekuatan kami serta level yang harus kami capai untuk menjadi tim terbaik," demikian Capello mengungkapkan tujuan dibalik dipilihnya Brasil sebagai lawan tanding.

Dalam sejumlah laga uji coba yang telah dilakoni sebelumnya, Wayne Rooney dkk. pernah menghadapi melawat ke markas negara-negara kuat seperti Spanyol, Prancis, Jerman, dan Belanda. Kali ini, Inggris juga akan melakoni partai persahabatan di luar kandang.

"Di laga-laga tadi, serta laga melawan Brasil, kami bermain tandang. Ini sangat penting sebelum terjun ke Afrika Selatan," lanjut pelatih berjuluk Don Fabio itu.

Juni 2007, Inggris pernah berhadapan dengan Brasil di laga persahabatan. Ketika itu skor akhir sama kuat 1-1.

Sementara untuk tahun depan, Inggris juga sudah mengagendakan beberapa uji coba namun belum ditentukan lawan-lawannya. Uji coba itu akan digelar pertengahan Maret dan pada akhir musim kompetisi liga. Foto: Laga Inggris vs Brasil, Juni 2007 (AFP/ Carl de Souza) ( nar / nar )

Walcott and Bent miss out on England recall
Soccernet - October 4, 2009

http://img.thesun.co.uk/multimedia/archive/00611/FABIO_CAPELLO_280x3_611436a.jpg

Theo Walcott and Darren Bent have both missed out on a call-up to the England squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Ukraine and Belarus.

Fabio Capello named his 24-man squad on Sunday evening and there was no place for Walcott - scorer of a hat-trick against Croatia last year - despite the winger marking his return to action for Arsenal with a goal in a 6-2 rout of Blackburn Rovers.

Sunday's match was his first of the season as a result of fitness problems originating in a summer in which he was called up by both the senior and Under-21 England sides - a situation that angered Arsene Wenger.

Sunderland striker Bent has also been overlooked despite scoring seven goals in eight Premier League games for his new club, while Aston Villa's Ashley Young has also been excluded despite featuring in a number of squads under Capello.

Manchester United goalkeeper Ben Foster is not included following a shaky run of form at Old Trafford but his absence has been attributed to a fitness problem. Tottenham striker Jermain Defoe is also out due to a hand injury.

Gabriel Agbonlahor, David James and Rio Ferdinand have all been recalled for the two fixtures which are relatively meaningless for England given they secured their place at the World Cup finals with a victory over Croatia in their last fixture.

England travel to Ukraine on Saturday and then welcome Belarus to Wembley four days later as they conclude what has been a hugely-successful campaign under Capello.

England squad: Robinson (Blackburn), Green (West Ham), James (Portsmouth); A Cole (Chelsea), Terry (Chelsea), Johnson (Liverpool), Bridge (Manchester City), Lescott (Manchester City), Brown (Manchester United), Ferdinand (Manchester United), Upson (West Ham); Milner (Aston Villa), Lampard (Chelsea), Beckham (Los Angeles Galaxy), Gerrard (Liverpool), Barry (Manchester City), Wright-Phillips (Manchester City), Carrick (Manchester United), Lennon (Tottenham); Agbonlahor (Aston Villa), Heskey (Aston Villa), Crouch (Tottenham), C Cole (West Ham), Rooney (Manchester United).

http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/images/2009/0929/garycahill20090929_275x155.jpg

England boss Fabio Capello has called up Joe Hart and Gary Cahill into his squad for the World Cup qualifiers against Ukraine and Belarus following injuries to Paul Robinson and Joleon Lescott.

Blackburn goalkeeper Robinson will return to his club following a hip problem, while Lescott heads back to Manchester City after a calf problem he picked up in the Barclays Premier League draw at Aston Villa last night.

With Ben Foster's omission explained as a chest injury, Hart has been rewarded for a solid start to his loan period at Birmingham.

Centre-back Cahill has produced a series of impressive performances for Bolton and travelled to Kazakhstan in June with the seniors, though he is yet to make his England debut.

Both qualifiers are meaningless for England, who have alreadys secured their passage to the World Cup finals in South Africa next summer. But with opportunities to stake a claim for a place on the plane proving elusive, fringe players like Cahill and Hart will be desperate to make an impression on Capello.

Setengah Juta Orang Tonton Inggris di Internet
Andi Abdullah Sururi - detiksport

London - Untuk pertama kalinya pertandingan internasional Inggris disiarkan langsung juga melalui internet. Setengah juta orang diperkirakan menonton kekalahan "Tiga Singa" dari Ukraina secara online.

Berdasarkan kalkulasi Times, Minggu (11/10/2009), sebanyak 250 ribu orang berlangganan layanan tersebut, dan estimasi total orang yang menikmatinya sekitar 500 ribu.

Pertandingan Inggris di kandang Ukraina itu, yang dimenangi tuan rumah dengan skor tipis 1-0, tidak disiarkan secara langsung oleh stasiun televisi manapun di Inggris Raya, walaupun belakangan BBC sempat ingin membeli hak siar itu.

Hak siar pertandingan itu seyogya telah dibeli Setanta, tapi setelah ada perkembangan administrasi kepemilikan oleh Kentaro, yang membeli hak siar dari PSSI-nya Ukraina, mereka memutuskan tidak menerima pembelian dari perusahan-perusahaan televisi, tapi menyediakannya lewat jalur online.

User yang subscibre sebelum hari Kamis dikenakan biaya hampir lima poundsterling atau kurang dari Rp 75 ribu, sedangkan yang mendaftar lebih dari hari itu diharusnya membayar 10-12 pounds.

Inggris dalam laga itu kalah oleh gol tunggal Serhiy Nazarenko di menit 29. Tim asuhan Fabio Capello itu memang telah dipastikan menjuarai Grup 6 kualifikasi Piala Dunia dan telah lolos ke putaran final. Hanya saja mereka akhirnya merasakan kekalahan setelah selalu menang dari delapan pertandingan sebelumnya

Underfire Ben Foster earns late England call-up after Robert Green's red card

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2009/10/11/article-0-05F9F152000005DC-829_306x423.jpg

Ben Foster has been called up into the England squad for the final World Cup qualifier against Belarus on Wednesday.

The Manchester United goalkeeper replaces the suspended Robert Green who was shown a straight red card in Saturday's clash in Ukraine for bringing Artem Milevskiy down in the box.

Foster originally missed out on Fabio Capello's squad for the double header with a chest injury.

At the time the decision was seen as little more than a convenient excuse for England boss Fabio Capello to sideline the 26-year-old, who is under-fire over a string of high-profile errors for Sir Alex Ferguson's men.

But, with Green ruled out of Wednesday's Wembley clash following his dismissal in the Ukraine defeat, Capello has recalled Foster.

Rooney withdraws from England squad
Soccernet - October 11, 2009

http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/images/2009/0909/fabiocapello&waynerooney_412x232.jpg

England striker Wayne Rooney will miss Wednesday night's World Cup qualifier with Belarus because of a calf injury.

The Manchester United forward picked up the injury during Saturday's 1-0 defeat away to Ukraine in the Dnipro Stadium and has withdrawn from the England squad.

After having the injury assessed at the Three Lions' training base in Hertfordshire, he has been sent back to Old Trafford for treatment. Rooney will now face a race to be fit for United's Premier League encounter with Bolton.

Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard will remain with the England squad after having his groin injury assessed. Gerrard only lasted until half-time in Ukraine.

Unless injury hits one of his other four strikers, Capello is unlikely to call in a replacement for Rooney.

The Italian has the option of pushing Gerrard into a more advanced position, which he plays in so successfully for Liverpool.

Alternatively, he could pair Carlton Cole with Emile Heskey, or possibly Aston Villa's Gabriel Agbonlahor, who was an unused substitute on Saturday.

Kualifikasi Piala Dunia
Rio Didakwa, Rio Dibela
Doni Wahyudi - detiksport

London - Rio Ferdinand jadi penyebab kekalahan Inggris atas Ukraina di Kualifikasi Piala Dunia 2010. Meski kerap bikin blunder yang berujung fatal, bek tengah Manchester United itu masih dapat pembelaan.

The Three Lions dipaksa menelan kekalahan pertamanya di kualifikasi Piala Dunia 2010 setelah ditundukkan Ukraina 0-1. Dalam laga tersebut Inggris dipaksa bermain dengan 10 orang setelah kiper Robert Green dikartu merah di babak pertama.

Atas kartu merah tersebut, Rio Ferdinand lah yang kemudian jadi pesakitan. Green terpaksa menjatuhkan Artem Milevskiy di kotak terlarang karena pemain tuan rumah itu sebelumnya berhasil mencuri bola dari kaki bek Manchester United itu.

Ini bukan kali pertama Ferdinand membuat kesalahan fatal yang berujung lahirnya gol ke gawang Inggris. Beberapa waktu lalu dia juga membuat blunder fatal saat melakukan backpass lemah pada kiper saat Inggris menghadapi Belanda.

Bola yang saat itu dipotong Dirk Kuyt kemudian membuat Inggris sempat ketinggalan 0-2. Wayne Rooney dkk beruntung karena bisa menyelesaikan pertandingan dalam posisi imbang 2-2.

Atas dua kesalahan tersebut, banyak yang menganggap posisi Ferdinand sebagai pendamping John Terry di pusat pertahanan layak dipertimbangkan. Namun mantan pemain Leeds United itu masih dapat pembelaan dari Don Fabio.

"Rio hanya membuat satu kesalahan. Bolanya memantul dan dia salah memprediksikan arahnya, tapi setelah itu dia bermain dengan baik, sama seperti rekan-rekannya. Rio membuat beberapa kesalahan, tapi Anda tak bisa mempertanyakan kualitasnya," sahut Capello di TimesOnline.

Pembelaan serupa datang dari rekan Ferdinand di The Red Devils, Wayne Rooney. Menurut top skorer sementara zona Eropa itu, beberapa penampilan buruk Rio disebabkan cedera yang sempat dia derita beberapa waktu terakhir

"Rio adalah bek yang tangguh, hanya belakangan ini dia kerap dapat cedera. Saya pikir dia melakukan pekerjaannya dengan baik, tapi setiap orang pernah membuat kesalahan tapi dia tahu kalau dirinya adalah pemain top. Dia akan melupakan itu dan terus melangkah ke depan," bela Rooney.

Soal buruknya lini belakang Inggris dalam beberapa laga terakhir, John Terry tak menyangkal hal tersebut. Soal kesalahan rekannya itu, sang kapten mengaku bisa memaklumi.

"Dia pemain kelas dunia, salah satu yang terbaik di dunia menurut saya, tapi kita semua adalah manusia. Kita membuat kesalahan. Satu yang bagus dari Rio adalah dia tak lantas menghilang setelah membuat kesalahan tersebut. Dia punya kepribadian yang besar, kadang pemain muda bisa belajar dari pemain seperti dia," tutup Terry.

Rooney: Inggris Dirugikan Defisit Pemain

LONDON - Inggris menelan kekalahan pertama sepanjang babak Kualifikasi Piala Dunia 2010. Skuad asuhan Fabio Capello tumbang 0-1 oleh tuan rumah Ukraina, Sabtu (10/10/2009).

Ya, Andriy Shevchenko dkk secara mengejutkan menghentikan laju sempurna The Three Lions di babak kualifikasi. Gol semata wayang Sergiy Nazarenko di menit ke-29 membawa Ukraina unggul satu angka (18) atas Kroasia yang sama-sama memperebutkan tiket play-off.

Hasil itu memang tidak mempengaruhi nasib Inggris yang sudah lolos ke Afrika Selatan. Meski demikian, bintang Manchester United Wayne Rooney tetap menyesalkan keberhasilan Ukraina menghentikan rekor delapan kemenangan beruntun Inggris.

Ditanya seputar pertandingan itu, Rooney berkeras jika timnya sudah bermain maksimal. Menurutnya, Inggris hanya kurang beruntung karena harus berlaga dengan 10 pemain setelah kiper Robert Green mendapat kartu merah di menit ke-14.

"Rasanya tidak banyak tim yang tampil maksimal dengan 10 pemain seperti yang kami lakukan, meski kami sebenarnya sudah lolos kualifikasi. Saya pikir, kami layak dipuji karenanya," ungkap bomber 23 tahun itu.

"Jelas bahwa kami kesulitan setelah hanya memiliki 10 pemain di lapangan. Saya pikir kami bertahan dengan bagus di babak pertama, meski harus kebobolan. Di babak kedua, kami menyerang balik dan mendapat sejumlah peluang. Kami mungkin bisa menyamakan kedudukan, tapi sulit melakukannya hanya dengan 10 pemain," imbuh Rooney kepada Daily Mirror, Senin (12/10/209).

Tengah pekan nanti, Inggris akan menjamu Belarusia pada laga terakhir babak kualifikasi. Rooney sendiri sudah dipastikan bakal absen karena mengalami cedera betis.

Diserang 'Misil', Inggris Adukan Ukraina ke FIFA
Doni Wahyudi - detiksport

London - Inggris dibuat kesal bukan hanya karena kekalahan atas Ukraina dan kartu merah Robert Green. Serangan 'misil' fans tuan rumah yang sempat mengenai David James bakal diadukan ke FIFA.

Punya target meraih hasil sempurna di babak kualifikasi, Inggris dipaksa pulang dengan membawa kekalahan 0-1 dari lawatannya ke Ukraina. Gol semata wayang yang bersarang di gawang The Three Lions datang dari eksekusi penalti menyusul pelanggaran yang dilakukan Robert Green.

Satu hal yang membuat Fabio Capello sulit menerima hasil pertandingan tersebut adalah kartu merah yang diterima Green di babak pertama. Don Fabio pun sempat menggugat keputusan wasit menyusul pengusiran kipernya itu.

Kedongkolan The Three Lions atas hasil pertandingan tak berhenti sampai di situ. Karena jalannya laga sempat terhenti sampai dua kali akibat serangan misil berupa kembang api ke dalam lapangan, pihak FA berencana melaporkan Ukraina ke FIFA.

"FIFA harus mengambil tindakan atas kejadian tersebut. Kondisinya tak baik untuk memulai kembali pertandingan (setelah sempat dihentikan akibat serangan kembang api). Itu membuat sulit berkonsentrasi," ungkap Capello seperti diberitakan Dailymail.

Saat masuk menggantikan Green yang dikartu merah, David James dikabarkan terkena lemparan salah satu kembang api tersebut. Untungnya kiper Portsmouth itu tak sampai mengalami cedera serius. "Saya sudah katakan kalau saya terkena," cetus kiper Portsmouth itu usai pertandingan.

Laporan Inggris pada FIFA bisa membahayakan status Ukraina sebagai salah satu tuan rumah Piala Eropa 2012. Dailymail menyebut negara tersebut bisa kehilangan haknya yang akan membuat Polandia jadi satu-satunya host event empat tahunan tersebut.

Muchamad Syuhada - Okezone

http://bola.okezone.com/images-data/content/2009/10/13/51/265004/th2JPS7rt9.jpg

LONDON - Gelandang Timnas Inggris Frank Lampard memaknai positif kepastian absennya penyerang Wayne Rooney dalam laga terakhir timnya di babak kualifikasi Piala Dunia 2010 melawan Belarusia tengah pekan ini.

Menurut Lampard kondisi itu membuat awak The Three Lions mulai belajar tidak selalu mengandalkan bomber Manchester United tersebut. Sebagaimana diketahui selama ini, Rooney adalah pilar utama Inggris di lini depan dan tidak tergantikan sama sekali.

Super Lamp (julukan Lampard) juga menyebut ketidakhadiran Rooney kali ini membuka jalan bagi pemain lain untuk menunjukkan kemampuanya.

"Dia (Rooney) tentu saja luar biasa, penampilannya di lapangan sungguh fantastis. Dia adalah penyerang utama kami selama pegelaran kualifikasi, sungguh disayangkan dia tidak bisa tampil di laga berikut," ujar Lampard.

"Tapi, masih banyak pemain bagus lain yang menanti sebuah kesempatan. Saya rasa ini adalah waktu yang tepat, jika kita bisa menemukan pemain hebat lagi, maka itu sangat baik untuk Inggris," tandasnya seperti disitat Sky Sport, Selasa (13/10/2009). (msy)

England v Belarus: Fabio Capello wanted Scott Carson over Ben Foster
Ben Foster has slipped down the England goalkeeping pecking order after reports claim Fabio Capello tried to call up West Brom's Scott Carson before contacting the Manchester United No 2.

Snubbed: a series of blunders this season has seen Ben Foster slip down the pecking order for club and country

Foster, who was not included in Capello's squad to play Ukraine at the weekend, has been criticised for a series of errors this season but following Robert Green's sending off on Saturday was called up as a stand-in.

But according to the Mirror, Capello wanted Carson to become David James' stand-in for England's final qualifier against Belarus at Wembley tomorrow, but the 24-year-old is unavailable due to a lingering ankle injury.

The news will come as a further blow for Foster who stands to lose his place as Sir Alex Ferguson's No 1 choice stopper as veteran Edwin van der Sar looks set to make his first Premier League appearance of the season this weekend when United host Bolton.

Which three goalkeepers Capello will name to join him on the plane to South Africa next summer remains a topic of debate with Foster, James, Carson, Green, Joe Hart and Paul Robinson all vying for a spot.

And former England goalkeeper Nigel Martyn believes that 39-year-old James' experience and fitness levels gives him the edge over the others.

“It’s a difficult one. I don’t think we have a stand-out number one at the moment," Martyn said. "Rob Green has been wearing the jersey but his sending off puts that in a little bit of jeopardy.

“I don’t think age is a problem for David James, given his fitness levels. He is an incredibly fit guy, he steers clears of injuries and I don’t think age is going to be a problem at all.

"I don’t think him playing at Portsmouth is going to worry him that much. As long as he’s playing and playing well, that puts him in the frame.

“He is getting a lot of practice at Portsmouth! But then a lot of our goalies are getting practice at clubs, like Paul Robinson at Blackburn, Rob Green at West Ham and it would be nice to see an English goalie in the top four and playing and everyone saying what a great job he’s doing.

“Obviously Ben Foster is doing that, but with Van der Sar coming back you worry about his position a little bit.”

================================================== =====================

Waduh.. malang bener nasib Foster. "hanya" karena beberapa kali blunder tapi efeknya parah banget. Fergie pasti lebih milih VDS yang dah sembuh, bahkan klo belum sembuh pun bisa-bisa TK lebih di utamakan. Eh, Capello juga ikut-ikutan nggak percaya ke Foster. Kasihan...

Terry: Semua Pemain Timnas Terancam

http://www.kompas.com/data/photo/2009/10/14/0542035p.jpg

LONDON, KOMPAS.com - Pelatih timnas Inggris, Fabio Capello, tak pernah memberi jaminan kepada siapa pun dalam daftar 23 pemain yang akan dibawa ke Piala Dunia 2010 di Afrika Selatan nanti. Menurut kapten John Terry, semua pemain terancam, termasuk dirinya.

"Semua terancam, termasuk para pemain yang tampil reguler dan masuk skuad timnas secara rutin. Kami semua merasa tempat kami terancam," jelas Terry.

"Jika kami tak mampu tampil di level klub dengan baik, maka cukup alasan buat Capello untuk mencoretnya. Itu berlaku buat siapa saja. Pemain lain yang belum masuk skuad timnas sudah selayaknya memiliki semangat dan rasa lapar untuk menunjukkan kemampuan agar masuk timnas," tambahnya.

Inggris sudah memastikan lolos ke Piala Dunia 2010. Rabu ini, mereka akan melakukan pertandingan terakhir lawan Belarusia. Meski sudah tak berpengaruh, Inggris bertekad tampil maksimal.

Namun, pada pertandingan itu Inggris tak diperkuat oleh Steven Gerrard yang cedera. Sementara striker Wayne Rooney masih meragukan.

"Kami sudah menyaksikan betapa Rooney pemain besar. Dia termasuk andalan dalam pernjuangan kami menuju putaran final. Dia selalu dalam kondisi bagus. Gerakan dan keinginannya untuk menang sangat berpengaruh. Maka, akan menyedihkan jika dia absen," terang Terry.

Meski begitu dia menambahkan, "Ini justru kesempatan bagus buat pemain lain untuk mengisi posisinya. Pelatih mendapat kesempatan untuk memikirkan masa depan tim." lanjutnya. (AP)

Capello dan Gaya Baru Inggris

http://www.kompas.com/data/photo/2009/05/28/0010288p.jpg

LONDON, KOMPAS.com - Pelatih Inggris Fabio Capello menjanjikan permainan gaya baru saat melawan Belarusia di kualifikasi terakhir Piala Dunia 2010. Seperti apa permainan tanpa striker Wayne Rooney dan gelandang Steven Gerrard tersebut?

Bagi "The Three Lions", bermain bersama Rooney dan Gerrard adalah suatu keniscayaan. Keduanya sudah menjadi satu kesatuan dalam detak jantung Inggris. Dalam sistem 4-2-3-1 yang biasa diterapkan oleh Capello pada laga yang sudah-sudah, Rooney biasa menempati sektor kiri di lapis kedua serangan tim. Gerrard berdiri di tengah, tak jauh dari Rooney.

Kini keduanya absen karena cedera. Capello tak ingin ambil pusing soal ketiadaan mereka. Inggris tetap harus berjalan mengincar kemenangan meski mereka sudah pasti lolos ke putaran final di Afrika Selatan. Bagi Don Fabio, justru sekarang ini merupakan waktu tepat baginya untuk menjajal sistem anyar, 4-4-2, format konvensional dan sudah baku dalam sepak bola.

"Mungkin saja Anda akan terkejut besok (nanti malam, Red). Anda harus menunggu 24 jam," ungkap mantan pelatih Real Madrid itu. "Besok kami akan memainkan gaya berbeda, kami memainkan sejumlah pemain berbeda dan itu akan menjadi laga yang sangat menarik bagi saya."

Melihat susunan baru ini, bisa dipastikan tak ada perubahan di kuartet pertahanan. Lampu hijau yang diberikan Capello untuk Rio Ferdinand menjamin kesertaan bek tengah Manchester United tersebut pada laga Rabu (14/10) malam nanti. Ferdinand akan menemani kapten John Terry.

Di sayap belakang, Wayne Bridge akan mendapat kesempatan menggantikan Ashley Cole. Bridge sudah hampir setahun tak mengisi sektor ini, sehingga keberadaannya baru pasti jika Cole tak kunjung pulih dari cedera engkel. Adapun sayap kanan sudah pasti menjadi milik bek Liverpool, Glen Johnson. Pertahanan plus daya dobrak Johnson akan sangat pas untuk menunjang laju Aaron Lennon di kanan luar lapangan tengah.

Lennon menjadi pilihan utama di sayap kanan karena untuk saat ini dialah yang paling aktif di antara Theo Walcott, David Beckham, maupun Shaun Wright-Philips. Bersama James Milner di kiri, Lennon akan mengapit gelandang sentral Frank Lampard dan Michael Carrick.

Kini tinggal menyisakan teka-teki siapa yang bakal mengisi di lini depan. Selama ini Capello selalu menunjuk Emile Heskey sebagai ujung tombak. Namun, untuk tombak kembar, pilihannya bisa jadi berubah. Kesempatan terbuka bagi pasangan Gabriel Agbonlahor dan Peter Crouch. Inipun masih bisa ditawar karena Heskey dan Carlton Cole juga masih berhak mendapat kesempatan main sejak menit pertama.

Masih kurang satu, yakni penjaga gawang. Setelah absennya Robert Green, Capello tidak dapat menurunkan David James. James yang menjadi pengganti Green pada laga versus Ukraina dinilai masih belum bisa tampil seratus persen. Harapan Ben Foster untuk kembali ke posisi utama di bawah mistar juga tertunda menyusul cedera yang dialaminya dua pekan lalu.

"James tidak bagus. Dia semakin baik, tapi jika dia tak seratus persen, dia dapat duduk di bench," kata pelatih asal Italia tersebut.

"Kami tidak memilih Foster karena kami sudah bicara dengan United dan mereka bilang dia baru bisa berlatih pada Kamis (15/10). Kami pilih pemain yang bugar," tambahnya.

Bisa jadi Capello akan memainkan kiper Manchester City yang dipinjamkan ke Birmingham, Joe Hart. Kiper muda Inggris ini sudah lama tak diturunkan bersama Terry cs dan ini bisa melengkapi eksperimen Capello malam nanti. (*)

Sukses Capello Berawal dari Video

http://www.kompas.com/data/photo/2009/02/11/0201145p.jpg

LONDON, KOMPAS.com — Apa rahasia sukses Fabio Capello saat melatih Inggris di kualifikasi Piala Dunia 2010? Ternyata tak sulit-sulit amat. Kapten Inggris John Terry mengungkapkan, sukses itu berawal dari video.

Inggris saat ini sudah memastikan satu tempat di putaran final Piala Dunia di Afrika Selatan. Keberhasilan itu berkat 8 kemenangan di kualifikasi dan hanya sekali kalah lawan Ukraina. Kekalahan itu pun tak berarti bagi "The Three Lions" karena sebelumnya tiket ke Afsel sudah di tangan.

Bagi pemain dan pendukung Inggris, pembaruan yang dilakukan Capello terhadap juara dunia 1966 itu sungguh melegakan. Mereka menganggap Capello telah membuang semua kecemasan yang pernah mereka alami dalam kualifikasi Piala Eropa 2008 di bawah pelatih Steve McClaren. Inggris yang tadinya masih kurang percaya diri atas kegagalan di Euro tahun lalu kini bermain lebih yakin.

Terry mengisahkan, kesuksesan itu sebetulnya berawal ketika Capello baru menginjak tanah di Inggris dua tahun silam. Don Fabio meminta sejumlah rekaman ulang dari beberapa laga Inggris sebelumnya. Pelatih asal Italia itu menggunakan pointer laser dan langsung menunjukkan kesalahan-kesalahan yang dilakukan oleh pemain dalam tayangan tersebut. Kebodohan-kebodohan pemain pun diungkapkan secara terang-terangan di hadapan semua orang yang menyaksikannya.

"Ketika pelatih pertama kali datang, dia menyaksikan beberapa video dan setelahnya dia sangat ingin agar pemain bekerja jauh lebih keras," kata Terry.

"Jika defender ikut menyerang, bukan jalan mundur, tapi berlari mundur untuk kembali ke posisi dan membentuk formasi. Kukira itu cara itu sangat Italia. Kini pemain bekerja sangat keras satu sama lain," ungkap bek tengah tersebut.

"Ketika pelatih menghentikan video dan Anda berjalan mundur ke lapangan belakang, itu membuat perubahan. Dia menghentikannya dan menggunakan senter ke arah Anda," tambahnya.

Sikap Capello itu awalnya membuat malu para pemain. Namun, lambat laun kedisiplinan tersebut membuat Terry dkk semakin yakin bahwa mereka mampu berbuat lebih baik.

"Itu akan selalu Anda ingat. Itu bagus. Kini hal itu terpatri dalam benak kami dan setiap orang melakukannya dengan benar. Pelatih sangat pintar melakukan hal tersebut," lanjut Terry.

Meski mengalami kemajuan di bawah Capello, Terry mengakui bahwa tim "Tiga Singa" masih sering melakukan kesalahan dalam bertanding. Namun, setidaknya blunder itu sudah jauh berkurang. "Kami masih perlu meningkatkan lagi hingga 20 atau 30 persen di seluruh lapangan," tegasnya.

Meski dikenal sebagai pelatih berdisiplin keras, bukan berarti Capello tak memiliki rasa welas asih. Mantan pelatih Juventus dan Real Madrid itu masih memberikan kepercayaan kepada Rio Ferdinand, yang membuat kesalahan dalam beberapa laga terakhir untuk Inggris maupun Manchester United. Ia juga tetap memberi kesempatan kepada David Beckham meski gelandang 34 tahun itu kalah bersinar dibanding pemain lain yang lebih muda. (AP)

Capello Tunjuk 24 Nama Hadapi Brasil
Marco Tampubolon

VIVAnews - Pelatih Inggris, Fabio Capello memanggil 24 nama untuk memperkuat timnya saat bertemu Brasil di Doha, Qatar, Sabtu, 15 November 2009. Namun David Beckham terancam ditinggal bila LA Galaxy lolos ke final Western Confrence.

Beckham memang kembali menjadi pilihan Capello. Namun gelandang berusia 34 tahun itu tak bisa memenuhi panggilan karena harus membela klubnya, LA Galaxy di pentas Western Confrence.

Ya, LA Galaxy merupakan semifinalis kejuaraan ini. Galaxy akan bertanding lawan Chivas USA, untuk memperebutkan tempat di final yang digelar bertepatan dengan jadwal uji coba kontra Brasil.

Capello sendiri tidak akan membawa Steven Gerarrd ke Qatar. Pelatih asal Italia itu memenuhi permintaan pelatih Liverpool, Rafael Benitez untuk memberikan waktu bagi Gerrard memulihkan cedera paha yang dideritanya.

Dua langganan timnas lainnya, Emile Heskey dan Carlton Cole juga masih cedera. Namun tempat kosong itu belum menjadi milik striker Manchester United, Michael Owen. Sebaliknya, Capello justru memanggil Darren Bent.

Skuad Inggris
Kiper: Ben Foster (Man Utd), Robert Green (West Ham), Joe Hart (Man City, on loan at Birmingham)

Belakang: Wayne Bridge (Man City), Wes Brown (Man Utd), Gary Cahill (Bolton), Glen Johnson (Liverpool), Joleon Lescott (Man City), John Terry (Chelsea), Matthew Upson (West Ham), Stephen Warnock (Aston Villa)

Tengah: Gareth Barry (Man City), David Beckham (LA Galaxy/USA), Michael Carrick (Man Utd), Tom Huddlestone (Tottenham), Jermaine Jenas (Tottenham), Frank Lampard (Chelsea), James Milner (Aston Villa), Shaun Wright-Phillips (Man City), Ashley Young (Aston Villa)

Depan: Darren Bent (Sunderland), Peter Crouch (Tottenham), Jermain Defoe (Tottenham), Wayne Rooney (Man Utd)

Cedera Terry Rezeki Rooney

http://www.kompas.com/data/photo/2009/11/13/2229001p.jpg

DOHA, KOMPAS.com - Penyerang tim nasional Inggris (timnas), Wayne Rooney, akan menjadi satu-satunya orang yang diuntungkan dengan cedera pergelangan kaki kapten Inggris, John Terry. Pasalnya, bila cedera itu sampai membuat Terry batal tampil melawan Brasil dalam laga persahabatan, Sabtu (14/11), Rooney akan didaulat menjadi kapten.

Pelatih Inggris Fabio sudah mengonfirmasi hal itu. Namun, ia tetap berharap, Terry pulih dan bisa tampil. Pasalnya, Inggris sudah kehilangan sejumlah pemain utama dan absennya Terry akan semakin mengurangi daya saing Inggris. Padahal, Capello ingin menjadikan duel itu sebagai barometer kesiapan pasukannya menghadapi putaran final Piala Dunia 2010 Afrika Selatan.

"Bila John Terry tidak bermain, (bak kapten) akan menjadi milik Wayne Rooney. Ia (Rooney) bugar dan siap menjadi kapten," ungkap Capello.

Terry mengalami cedera itu dalam sesi latihan timnas Inggris, di Doha, Kamis (12/11). Tim dokter Inggris sedang berusaha membuat kondisi Terry lebih baik, setidaknya bisa mencapai pertandingan. Meski begitu, Capello mengaku tak ingin mengambil risiko memainkan Terry dalam keadaan tidak seratus persen.

"Saya yakin tentang (Terry). Saya sudah bicara dengan para dokter dan besok, saya pikir, akan menjadi mungkin baginya (Terry) untuk tampil. Namun, saya taka akan mengambil risiko. Bila ia tidak bugar, ia tak akan tampil," tambahnya. (DM)

Why England must take five strikers to the World Cup - including Michael Owen
-mirrorfootball.co.uk-

Fabio Capello must take five strikers to the World Cup.

England should take three keepers, seven defenders, eight midfielders and five strikers. The magic 23.

Those strikers should be Wayne Rooney, Emile Heskey, Peter Crouch, Jermain Defoe and the forgotten man Michael Owen.

What Sven did in 2006, taking just four - including Theo Walcott - was a joke. Strikers do that magical thing in football - they score goals. That's what you need to win games.

It may sound simple - and it is. You take seven defenders because, hopefully, in your midfielders you have one player who is adaptable who can play at full back. Like James Milner or Owen Hargreaves.

Or a centre back who can play full back, too. Wes Brown fits into that category. Then you also have players who are invaluable and versatile to have on the bench.

Rooney speaks for himself. He's a brilliant player. Heskey does all the work to allow Rooney to be the best player on the pitch. That should be the first choice pairing.

Peter Crouch is prolific and hard to play against. He definitely gets the nod over Carlton Cole who is not the finished article yet.

Defoe has got stronger, is quicker and makes better decisions in the box. There's a bit of devil in him and I like that. He is very sharp.

But Owen should also be in England's striker quintet. If you have 15 minutes left and are chasing the game, then Owen would get the nod every time. There are still very few better finishers in the game.

It's that little bit of extra bit of quality which Owen brings that is all important in the same manner as to why David Beckham should also get the nod.

Rooney: England can beat Brazil :-bd
-clubcall.com-

Wayne Rooney believes a full-strength England could beat Brazil despite their 1-0 loss against the South Americans on Saturday.

Rooney, who captained England in their loss to Brazil in Doha, believes if England are at full-strength they can beat anyone ahead of the World Cup in South Africa next summer.

The likes of John Terry, Rio Ferdinand, Ashley Cole, David Beckham, Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard were all ruled out of the international friendly as England slipped to a 1-0 loss as Nilmar's headed goal proved the difference between the two sides.

However, stand-in captain Rooney felt it could have been a different story if all England's stars were available to boss Fabio Capello.

He said: "Can we beat Brazil with a first XI? I think so. It was probably Brazil's strongest side bar one or two players and we had nine or ten missing.

"That is difficult for any team to overcome, especially against Brazil. At full strength we definitely would give them a better game than tonight."

Punters who feel England can go all the way in South Africa may wish to use their free bet to back Capello to lead the Three Lions to glory.

The Manchester United striker revealed he didn't think Brazil, ranked the best team in the world by Fifa, were the best side England had faced in the build up to next summer's tournament.

He added: "Are they the best we've faced at international level? I don't know. I think Spain are better. I didn't play in that game (in February), but I watched it and Spain were a bit better and created more chances."

In Betfair you can either make a back bet (bet on who's going to win) or place a lay bet (bet against something happening). Betfair matches people on either side of the bet with the odds they agree. Simple. Use this £25 free bet and give it a try.

Carrick v Hargreaves v Jenas Race For England's 2010 World Cup Squad
-footballfancast.com-

The central of midfield of England has been a topic of much debate over recent years. The tedious discussion over whether Gerrard and Lampard could play together have been put to bed by Capello as he has found a place for Gerrard on the left of the midfield four. But what of the other contenders for a central midfield berth in South Africa?

Frank Lampard (Chelsea)

Frank Lampard is one of the best attacking midfielders around; he has scored a minimum of 20 goals a season for the last five years and is one of England’s key players. He has struggled slightly this year with the change of formation at Chelsea but is beginning to adapt to the new strategy and find his form. If he is fit, he is one of the first names on the team-sheet.

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2009/10/12/article-0-06C6ED25000005DC-710_306x423.jpg

Gareth Barry (Manchester City)

For England and Manchester City, Barry has recently found a new role as a holding midfielder. For Aston Villa he was a more creative force and while he is still capable of breaking forward, his primary responsibilities are now defensive. Barry has started this season slowly; he has yet to reach the high standards we have come to expect from him. Nevertheless, he is one of the best passers of the ball in the England team and his responsible attitude to the defensie side of the game has seen him develop a strong understanding with Lampard. Barry can expect to be in the starting line-up for England’s first game in South Africa.

http://images.mirror.co.uk/upl/m4/jun2009/7/2/england-image-2-121815392.jpg

Steven Gerrard (Liverpool)

Gerrard will go to South Africa to play as a left-sided midfielder; in this position he is given license to roam and link up with Rooney. However, his natural position is central midfield, and so if Lampard is injured or suspended, it will be Gerrard that fills that central midfield role.

http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Football/Pix/pictures/2009/4/2/1238693961525/Steven-Gerrard-001.jpg

Michael Carrick (Manchester United)

Carrick started this season poorly, but is starting to find form again. A solid passer of the ball, he is competing with club-mate Hargreaves for one place in the squad. He is not as good defensively as either Barry or Hargreaves, but given the latters’ injury problems Carrick is at present likely to make the squad as Barry’s understudy.

http://m.gmgrd.co.uk/res/718.$plit/C_71_article_1156586_image_list_image_list_item_0_ image.jpg

Owen Hargreaves (Manchester United)

Hargreaves’ injury problems are well documented; he hasn’t played in over a year. However, he was England’s best player at the last World Cup and should he regain fitness, he will be a contender. Hargreaves would provide energy and drive to the midfield; he can also play right-midfield and right-back. This versatility means that if Hargreaves is chosen there would be room for a fifth striker. It may be asking too much for a player who has been out for so long to return to international duty so soon. But if Hargreaves does recover from his injuries and starts to play well for United, he could make a late bid for a spot on the plane.

http://www.footballfancast.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/OwenHargreaves.jpg

Jermaine Jenas (Tottenham)

Jermaine Jenas came under come pretty strong criticism for his performance against Brazil, but a lot of it was quite harsh. England did not have a lot of possession in that game so it was always going to be difficult for him. He actually did a lot of good work defensively, tracking back with Kaka, and he showed good energy levels in difficult conditions. There is not a lot of guile to his play, but he has pace, power and a burst of energy that could be useful as a substitute. We do not yet know what Capello made of his performance, but if he is chosen in the squad for the next friendly, a lot of people would be surprised.

http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/uploads/assets/240x359/players/jermaine_jenas/jermaine_jenas_england1.jpg

Tom Huddlestone (Tottenham)

The surprise call-up of the last squad, Huddlestone provides something different to the other contenders. His passing range is superb, and is one of the best strikers of the ball in the country. He has been criticised for his lack of mobility, and his inexperience at this level makes him an unlikely inclusion in the final group. But Capello has clearly been impressed with the Spurs midfielder, and if there are more injury problems in this area, Huddlestone could well take advantage.

Capello: Mudah tapi Bisa Ribet
Abdul Rahman - detiksport

http://www.detiksport.com/images/content/2009/12/05/73/capello.jpg

Cape Town - Orang Inggris pasti merasa senang dengan hasil undian Piala Dunia yang membuat tim kesayangannya berada di grup ringan. Meski begitu, pelatih Fabio Capello tak mau takabur.

Menjadi salah satu tim favorit juara, Inggris ditempatkan di Grup C bersama tim-tim yang tak punya tradisi bagus dan kuat di turnamen besar, yakni Amerika Serikat, Aljazair dan Slovenia. Tim terakhir

Boleh dibilang lawan terberat Inggris adalah Amerika, yang untuk keenam kalinya berturut-turut tampil di putaran final Piala Dunia. Capain terbaik skuad Negeri Paman Sam adalah perempatfinal di Korea-Jepang 2002.

Aljazair baru kembali ke Piala Dunia setelah dua kali lolos di edisi 1982 dan 1986. Adapun Slovenia, yang dulunya berada di bawah bendera Yugoslavia, akan melakoni Piala Dunia keduanya setelah tampil di Piala Dunia 2002.

"Kami tahu dua tim -- AS dan Slovenia -- tapi saya tidak tahu sama sekali Aljazair," demikian Capello dikutip The Sun, seusai acara pengundian di Cape Town, Afrika Selatan, Sabtu (5/12/2009) dinihari WIB.

"Orang-orang mungkin berpikir grup ini mudah buat kami. Tapi kita harus menghormati semua tim," sambungnya.

"Saya tahu dari pengalaman, ketika Anda bermain di Piala Dunia, tekanannya berbeda. Semuanya berbeda. Pertandingan yang akan kami lakoni tidaklah mudah. Tapi saya berharap anak-anak bisa mempersiapkan mental dengan baik untuk menghadapinya."

Dalam pandangan Capello, semua grup tidak adalah yang ringan. Semua berimbang termasuk grupnya.

"Saya ingat, banyak grup yang semula terlihat gampang, tapi kemudian menjadi sangat ribet," pungkas pelatih asal Italia itu. ( a2s / key )

Terry Bidik Kemenangan di Laga Pembuka

London - John Terry menyambut gembira keberadaan Inggris di Grup C. Namun kapten Inggris meyakini mengalahkan Amerika Serikat adalah awal yang penting bagi skuadnya.

Inggris berada satu grup dengan AS, Slovenia dan Aljazair dalam undian yang dilakukan di Cape Town, Sabtu (5/12/2009) dinihari WIB. Terry pun menyambut gembira dengan hasil undian tersebut.

"Sejauh ini mengenai Inggris kami sangat akrab dengan dua lawan kami (AS dan Slovenia), dan tahu dengan baik pemain mereka. Berharap ini akan membantu kami menghadapi laga tersebut," kata Terry.

"Inggris belum pernah bermain menghadapi Aljazair dan tentu saja mereka cukup berat untuk maju ke final karena menang play off atas Mesir," ungkap bek Inggris ini seperti dilansir Sporting Life.

Meski demikian, Terry melihat betapa penting menghadapi AS pada 12 Juni 2010. Bagi pemain Chelsea ini, bisa meraih kemenangan di laga pertama akan memuluskan jalan bagi St George Cross ke babak berikutnya.

"Namun bagi saya, itu adalah mengenai pertandingan pertama dan mendapatkan awal yang baik. Setiap tim di laga pembuka grup adalah penting dan kami juga tidak berbeda. Itu adalah pertandingan besar," tukas Terry.

Michael Owen stakes claim for place in fans' England XI for World Cup 2010
-telegraph.co.uk-

http://i.telegraph.co.uk/telegraph/multimedia/archive/01534/Fabio_Capello_1534693c.jpg

What a difference a hat-trick makes. Michael Owen's goal spree for Manchester United has captured the imagination of England fans.

The display by Manchester United star Michael Owen against Wolfsburg has resulted in a sharp increase in support for the striker to be included in Fabio Capello's squad for World Cup 2010 in South Africa.

More than one in five fans (22%) now believes he merits an England recall, compared with only 12% last month - according to "Pick Your England Team", the biggest online survey of its kind.

Latest figures for the Telegraph Fans' XI show David Beckham's popularity has also soared, following his involvement in the World Cup draw and his public show of support for England's 2018 World Cup bid.

Beckham, who rejoins AC Milan next month, is supported by more than a quarter of fans: 28%, up from 18% last month.

Let us know what you think by taking a moment to pick your own England XI.

With nearly 30,000 votes cast, John Terry and Wayne Rooney continue to be the first names on the teamsheet for the vast majority of fans (96%), followed by Ashley Cole (93%) and Steven Gerrard (91%).

Frank Lampard was chosen by 80% of fans, while Rio Ferdinand's popularity remained unchanged at 76%, even though he has been sidelined by injury.

Meanwhile, David James has strengthened his claim as the No1 goalkeeper, favoured by 46% of fans (up from 43% last month) - at the same time, Robert Green, his nearest rival, has slipped to 27% (from 30% in November). Indeed, James is the only member of last month's Telegraph Fans' XI to increase his support among England fans.

Injury to Jimmy Bullard has not prevented the Hull City star from topping the list of "wild card" candidates: players that Capello has not so far used. Close behind him are Paul Robinson and Micah Richards.

Users of Telegraph.co.uk can vote once a month for their favourite 11 England players, chosen from the 41 who have played under Capello since he was appointed England coach in December 2007.

They can also name any other player as a "wild card" entrant who they think should make it onto the plane to South Africa next summer.

Michael Owen must score more: England boss Fabio Capello's blunt message to Manchester United striker over World Cup
-dailymail.co.uk-

Michael Owen must carry on scoring for Manchester United if he is to rescue his World Cup dream, despite his stunning Champions League hat-trick.

Owen, who turns 30 next week, was United’s match-winner against Wolfsburg on Tuesday, rekindling memories of the three goals he scored when England beat Germany 5-1 in Munich eight years ago.

It took the striker’s record to a highly credible seven goals in eight starts for United since his move from Newcastle.

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2009/12/10/article-1234664-0785FE8E000005DC-128_468x286.jpg
Score more: Capello has delivered a blunt message to Owen over the World Cup

However, Fabio Capello was 6,000 miles away in South Africa at the time, working on arrangements for the World Cup finals.

The England manager has not seen Owen play live since November 8, when he came off the bench for the last five minutes in a 1-0 defeat at Chelsea.

Capello will not see him play this weekend, either. United are at home to Aston Villa on Saturday, but the Italian and his assistant, Franco Baldini, are not expected back until next week.

England do not have another game until March, a friendly against opponents to be confirmed. To win a call-up, must continue to impress for his club and hope his rivals, especially Tottenham’s Jermain Defoe, lose their way.

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2009/12/10/article-1234664-018429CE0000044D-773_468x286.jpg
Taking over: Jermain Defoe is ahead of Owen in Capello's England thoughts

Capello will only take four specialist strikers to South Africa if Arsenal winger Theo Walcott is fit and therefore able to be considered as an emergency alternative up front.

Rooney and Emile Heskey will go, while back-up for Heskey is essential because his role is vital to Capello’s preferred 4-2-3-1 formation. At the moment, Peter Crouch seems to be in prime position for that job.

The last place will go to a goalscorer, someone who can come off the bench when England are chasing a game or give Capello the option to play two up front.

First choice: Wayne Rooney and Emile Heskey (R) are near certainties for Capello

Defoe is firmly in the driving seat for this role, having scored eight goals for Capello — all since Owen’s last cap.

The England boss has called Owen his ‘tormentor’ because his haul of 40 England goals commands respect and public support.

But, in truth, the United’s striker’s club form has been far less impressive since the Italian replaced Steve McClaren as England boss.

Capello, despite not selecting Oowen since a friendly in France in March 2008, will never completely rule out the idea of the striker making a late dash for the plane to South Africa, but the onus is firmly on Owen.

Now or never for Michael Owen: Hat-trick won't impress Fabio Capello unless striker is regular starter for Manchester United
-dailymail.co.uk-

The last time Michael Owen scored a hat-trick in Germany, he would have been an automatic pick in just about any international team in the world. Eight years later, he is not even certain of a game for his club this Saturday.

As Owen endeavours to turn England coach Fabio Capello's gaze his way, this is the dilemma he faces.

If United manager Sir Alex Ferguson picks the 29-year-old regularly between now and the end of the season, he will have his opportunity to make a run at the squad for the World Cup in South Africa.

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2009/12/09/article-1234616-078650E4000005DC-740_468x286.jpg
Now or never: Owen must continue his rich vein of form to impress Capello

If he doesn't, Owen may as well book himself a holiday now. Preferably somewhere without a television.

Owen's hat-trick against Wolfsburg in Saxony on Tuesday night was reminiscent of the manner in which he played his football when he scored three times to help England demolish Germany in Munich in September 2001.

At his best, Owen was never a fussy goalscorer. From that point of view, he took us all back a few years with the treble he scored this week. For much of the game, ukit was hard to notice the United No 7. By full time, he had won the game.

However, this will not be enough to secure England's greatest modern goalscorer a place in Capello's squad for South Africa 2010.

England's Italian coach has made it clear that he will not pick those who are not playing regularly for their club. This was his rationale last season when Owen was struggling for fitness at Newcastle. Now that he is at Old Trafford, it remains the case.

Capello has not been remotely impressed by the fact that Owen is playing for a big club again. He has made it clear all along that he wants to see his centre forwards scoring goals.

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2009/12/09/article-1234616-01F68A0F000004B0-83_468x304.jpg
Start to finish: England boss Fabio Capello wants Michael Owen to be a regular for Manchester United before reclaiming his international strike spot

If there is any justice, Owen will get a start against Aston Villa in the Barclays Premier League on Saturday evening in the wake of Tuesday's efforts.

Nevertheless, he remains United's third-choice centre forward behind Wayne Rooney and Dimitar Berbatov and - for the time being at least - that is unlikely to change.

When Owen arrived at United as a free agent in the summer, it was presumed that Rooney represented one of his best chances of returning to the highest level. It was thought theirs was a partnership which could revive Owen.

So far, it hasn't worked out that way. The two players have only started together three times. Owen has actually played as many times with the raw, young Italian Federico Macheda and it is clear that Rooney and Berbatov remain Ferguson's partnership of choice.

Rooney, meanwhile, is the player the United manager turns to when he wants to field a single outright striker.

'We have sometimes played with a central striker in Rooney and three midfielders,' acknowledged Ferguson this week. 'And that has not always helped Michael.'

So far this season, Owen has started only eight games out of the 25 United have played. His partners have been Rooney (three times), Berbatov (once), Macheda (three times) and Danny Welbeck (once).

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2009/12/09/article-1234616-0789B95B000005DC-895_306x674.jpg

This illustrates Owen's problem starkly and unless it alters, he has no chance of changing the mind of an England coach who has always picked players on form rather than reputation. At least, he has if you discount David Beckham.

Owen's biggest rival in terms of an England berth is Jermain Defoe, simply because both strikers offer Capello similar weapons.

Defoe has made 15 appearances for Tottenham this season and scored 13 goals. He may never get anywhere near Owen's tally of 89 caps for his country but at the moment it is clear why he is ahead of his competitor in the queue for next summer's squad.

Owen's public stance on his international future is certainly intelligent. He has made it clear how much he would love to resume his England career but has chosen not to publicise his feelings every time he scores a goal.

'I have never liked talking about myself too much,' he said on Tuesday. 'I always prefer to talk about the team.

'You can't score a hat-trick without the team playing really well but I am enjoying playing for Manchester United.

'There are only a few teams that you can play in and expect to get chances. This is one. Scoring them is a different matter.'

In terms of his actual form since he arrived in Manchester, Owen has actually been a little patchy. He has missed a good many chances and has been rather anonymous in some games.

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2009/12/09/article-1234616-0789B7B3000005DC-245_468x286.jpg
What is interesting, though, is the quality of some of the goals he has managed to score.

His late winner against Manchester City at Old Trafford in September was superb, for example, as was a goal he scored against Barnsley at Oakwell in the Carling Cup.

When the mood takes him, he remains one of the best and if he does get another opportunity on Saturday then perhaps he will find himself facing one final stab at getting Capello to change his mind.

If Owen can use Tuesday's performance as a platform to something more significant, he may have half a chance of keeping the unpredictable Berbatov out of Ferguson's team for a while.

If, on the other hand, he allows himself to slip back into the shadows at Old Trafford, then fresh international fulfilment may never come.

Owen will wake up to his 30th birthday on Monday. One way or the other, it is going to be a defining year.

Venables: England NEED Man Utd striker Owen
-tribalfootball.com-

http://web.uni-plovdiv.bg/stu0705661039/Mitaka/images/Michael_Owen_394753a.jpg

Former England boss Terry Venables says Manchester United striker Michael Owen has to be on the plane to South Africa.

Reflecting on Owen's hat-trick against Wolfsburg in midweek, Venables wrote in his column for The Sun: "There has to be room for him in the squad if he continues that kind of form and maintains his fitness.

"People say he has not done much at United but he has still managed seven goals in eight starts for the Red Devils in all competitions.

"Owen has shown throughout his career he can score goals at the highest level - and he did it again in Germany on Tuesday.

"His first two goals were excellent and his third was simply outstanding. The way he ran clear of the home defence and cut across the last defender before dinking the ball over the keeper highlighted his class.

"He knew the only way he could be stopped was if the defender brought him down, a crime for which he would surely have given away a penalty and earned a red card.

"It was slightly reminiscent of the goal Owen got for England against Argentina at the 1998 World Cup.

"And on this week's evidence, there is no reason to suggest why he could not be just as effective at the 2010 event."

Perselingkuhan Terry
Menteri Olahraga Inggris pun Ikut Berkomentar
Rossi Finza Noor - detiksport

London - Kabar mengenai perselingkuhan John Terry akhirnya mengundang Menteri Olahraga Inggris Gerry Sutcliffe ikut berkomentar. Sutcliffe menyebut, jika kabar itu terbukti benar, maka jabatan Terry sebagai kapten Inggris patut dipertanyakan.

Belakangan terungkap bahwa bek Chelsea tersebut memiliki affair dengan Vanessa Perroncel, seorang model yang juga merupakan mantan kekasih Wayne Bridge, mantan rekan Terry di Chelsea. Bridge dikabarkan geram lantaran perselingkuhan itu terjadi ketika Perroncel masih menjalin hubungan dengannya.

Jika Bridge saja geram, maka demikian pula dengan istri Terry, Toni Poole. Wanita yang telah memberikannya dua orang anak itu merasa dibohongi dan akhirnya dikabarkan meminta cerai.

Yang berguncang tak hanya kehidupan pribadinya saja. Karir Terry di lapangan pun demikian. Banyak yang menyebut bahwa sudah selayaknya ban kapten Inggris dicopot dari lengannya. Ia dianggap tak memberikan imej yang baik sebagai seorang kapten tim nasional.

Sejauh ini belum ada komentar resmi dari FA mengenai wacana pencopotan ban kapten Terry. Namun demikian, federasi sepakbola Inggris itu didesak olhe Sutcliffe untuk segera menyelesaikan masalah ini.

"Di lapangan, John Terry adalah pemain yang fantastis dan kapten Inggris yang baik. Tetapi sebagai kapten Inggris Anda harus memiliki tanggung jawab yang lebih luas kepada negara," ujar Sutcliffe seperti dilansir ESPN Star.

"Dan jelas, jika tuduhan ini terbukti, jabatannya sebagai kapten Inggris patut dipertanyakan."

"Saya sudah melakukan temu bicara dengan FA. Saya menunggu sudut pandang mereka mengenai masalah ini dan mari kita lihat bagaimana penyelesaiannya," tukasnya.

Capello Diminta Cepat Putuskan Status Terry
Okdwitya Karina Sari - detiksport

Kasus perselingkuhan John Terry dianggap bisa mengancam keharmonisan timnas Inggris. Supaya masalah tersebut tak berlarut-larut, Fabio Capello diminta cepat mengambil tindakan.

Isu perselingkuhan yang dilakukan Terry dengan mantan kekasih Wayne Bridge menjadi pemberitaan panas di Inggris. Akibat skandal ini, posisi kapten timnas Inggris yang kini dimiliki Terry ikut terancam.

Menanggapi masalah ini, Fabio Capello selaku arsitek timnas Inggris, belum memberikan keputusan terkait pangkat kapten Terry. Dikabarkan, Capello baru akan membuat keputusan pada 1 Maret, saat Inggris menggelar laga ujicoba dengan Mesir.

Sikap mengambang yang ditunjukkan Capello disoroti Ince. Mantan kapten Inggris tersebut mendesak agar Don Fabio segera menyelesaikan persoalan ini jika tidak ingin perpecahan terjadi di skuad The Three Lions. Pertimbangannya adalah pernyataan Wayne Brigde yang tidak sudi berada di tim yang sama dengan Terry.

Pasalnya, Ince merasa kasus ini bukan sebatas pada kasus seorang pemain yang khilaf. Mantan pemain internasional Inggris itu menilai Terry telah melakukan pengkhianatan terhadap jalinan persahabatan.

"Tidak ada dasar bagi Fabio Capello menunggu hingga 1 Maret saat Inggris menghadapi Mesir untuk membuat keputusan terkait John Terry, dia harus meredam kecauan ini," kritik Ince dalam tulisannya di News of The World.

"Dia (Capello) seharusnya menghubungi Terry dan Wayne Bridge untuk mendapatkan versi cerita dari mereka, mengukur perasaan keduanya dan imbas apa yang akan terjadi kepada skuad jika mereka harus sharing di ruan ganti, hotel dan tempat latihan selama Piala Dunia."

"Secara normal, cerita seperti ini biasanya akan memudar begitu saja setelah satu minggu. Tapi cerita ini sepertinya akan terus bergulir."

"Ini bukan sebuah kasus tentang seorang pesepakbola yang keluar dari batas, tertangkap dan mengadapai konsekuensi. Ini mengenai penghianatan sebuah persahabatan, pelanggaran batas yang seharusnya tidak boleh dilakukan."

"Jika Capello tidak bertindak cepat, dampak kasus ini akan menggerogoti kesatuan timnas Inggris," pungkas Ince.

sejak kasus perselingkuhannya terungkap, jabatan Terry sbg kapten timnas Inggris terus dipertanyakan. jika nanti ban kapten Terry di timnas dicopot, kira2 sapa yg cocok/layak menggantikannya? kalo bisa disertai alasannya

mods, tolong dibuatkan polling dunk kira2 sapa pengganti Terry di timnas kalo ban kaptennya dicopot

Terry Siap Lepas Ban Kapten Timnas

John Terry siap melepas ban kapten tim nasional Inggris. Kasus perselingkuhannya dengan Vanessa Perroncel, model yang mantan pasangan rekannya Wayne Bridge menjadikan Terry mendapat kecaman dari berbagai pihak.

FA mendapat desakan agar tidak mempertahankannya sebagai kapten timnas. Bahkan Menteri Olahraga Gerry Sutcliffe akan meminta penjelasan dari FA terkait kasus Terry.

"Di lapangan John Terry merupakan pemain yang fantastis dan kapten yang bagus. Tapi sebagai kapten Inggris, Anda memiliki tanggung jawab lebih besar bagi negara. Karena itu, bila tuduhan itu terbukti, tanggung jawabnya sebagai kapten Inggris perlu dipertanyakan," kata Sutcliffe.

"Saya akan meminta penjelasan dari FA. Bagaimana sudut pandang mereka. Selanjutnya, kita lihat apa yang terjadi," lanjutnya.

Sementara, tak sedikit fans termasuk mantan bek timnas Martin Keown yang mengecam perilaku Terry yang diungkapkannya melalui pesan di laman resmi FA maupun radio-radio. Dalam laman FA, fans menyebut Terry sebagai "bermoral bejat".

Terry sendiri direncanakan akan bertemu dengan manajer timnas Fabio Capello, Senin ini. Meski keputusan akhir berada di tangan Capello, namun kapten Chelsea ini sudah berniat meletakkan jabatan sebagai kapten timnas.

Menurut sumber yang dekat dengan Terry, bek andalan The Blues ini memprioritaskan untuk menyelamatkan rumah tangganya. Saat ini, istrinya, Toni, yang terpukul dengan perselingkuhan Terry memilih terbang ke Dubai bersama anak kembarnya, Georgie dan Summer

Skuad Inggris Dukung Terry Tetap Jadi Kapten

Bola.net - Sempat diminta FA untuk mundur dari timnas Inggris, John Terry tampaknya tetap menjadi kapten The Three Lions untuk pertandingan uji coba menghadapi Polandia di Warsawa pekan depan.

Bahkan, peluang Terry untuk menjadi kapten Inggris di Piala Dunia 2010 mendatang tetap terbuka setelah pemain-pemain timnas Inggris mendukung bek Chelsea itu tetap menjabat sebagai kapten di Afrika Selatan.

Terry sendiri dikabarkan telah melakukan pembicaraan dari hati ke hati dengan manajemen timnas Inggris hari Minggu kemarin.

Sejumlah media Inggris mempertanyakan kapasitas Terry sebagai kapten dan respek dari rekan-rekan setimnya pasca kasus perselingkuhannya dengan kekasih Wayne Bridge yang menghebohkan Inggris.

Fabio Capello yang terus mengikuti perkembangan berita seputar kasus Terry dari rumahnya di Swiss mengatakan, "Saya tahu semuanya, tapi saya belum bisa mengatakan apa pun saat ini dan akan kembali ke London hari Kamis,"

Apapun keputusan Capello nantinya akan didukung penuh oleh FA, "Fabio telah berbicara dengan Lord Triesman dan Ian Watmore yang mendukungnya mengambil keputusan yang terbaik di pusat latihan timnas Inggris,"

Salah satu pemain timnas Inggris yang minta dirahasiakan namanya mengatakan, "John (Terry) memimpin kami ke Afrika Selatan dan seharusnya dia tetap menjadi kapten kami di putaran final,"

"Untuk mengganti kapten saat ini bisa mengganggu keutuhan tim dan bisa merusak peluang kami untuk tampil baik di Piala Dunia,"

Meski demikian, sejumlah pemain timnas Inggris juga mengungkapkan rasa simpatinya kepada Bridge yang juga merupakan anggota timnas Inggris.

Tak Akan Mundur, Nasib Terry di Tangan Capello
Arya Perdhana - detiksport

London - Akibat kasus perselingkuhannya terungkap, jabatan kapten timnas Inggris yang dipegang John Terry jadi terancam. Nasib Terry kini sepenuhnya di tangan Fabio Capello.

Terry ketahuan berselingkuh dengan Vanessa Perroncel. Bukan sembarang selingkuh, karena Perroncel adalah mantan kekasih rekan Terry di timnas, Wayne Bridge.

Capello selaku manajer Inggris sudah berencana untuk bicara dengan Terry pada Jumat (5/2/2010). Pihak Asosiasi Sepakbola Inggris (FA) tampaknya akan menyerahkan nasib Terry kepada Capello.

Meski kini tengah berada di rumahnya di Swiss seusai menjalani operasi lutut, Capello tampaknya mengikuti dengan seksama perkembangan kasus yang membelit kaptennya itu.

Diwartakan BBC, Capello mengutus General Manager Inggris, Franco Baldini, untuk berbicara dengan empat anggota kunci Dewan Ketua FA, yakni Lord Triesman, Chief Executive Ian Watmore, Direktur Komunikasi Adrian Bevington dan Kepala Pengembangan Trevor Brooking.

Empat orang perwakilan FA dan Baldini tampaknya sepakat bahwa Terry tak perlu mundur karena nasibnya akan ditentukan oleh Capello. FA juga berpendapat kalau Capello tak perlu tergesa mengambil keputusan.

Pendapat FA ini bertolak belakang dengan keinginan sejumlah pihak di FA yang menginginkan agar persoalan Terry sudah diputus sebelum Capello berangkat ke Warsawa untuk mengikuti undian kualifikasi Euro 2012 akhir pekan ini.

Capello Bakal Minta Terry Mundur

Bola.net - Tarik ulur mengenai kelanjutan nasib John Terry bakal segera berakhir. Kemungkinan besar, Terry harus menanggalkan ban kapten "Three Lions" dari lengannya. Hal ini menyusul kabar bahwa Fabio Capello bakal "meminta" Terry untuk mundur sebagai skipper Inggris

Seperti diberitakan The Sun, Cappelo sendiri, saat ini dalam perjalanan pulang ke Inggris setelah menjalani operasi kaki di Italia. Rencananya, setibanya di London, pelatih tim Inggris ini bakal segera berdiskusi dengan Terry mengenai kelanjutan masa depannya di tim tersebut. Sebelumnya, dia hanya mendapat laporan dari asistennya, Franco Baldini, yang telah berbicara dengan Terry.

Menurut kabar yang beredar, Capello tidak keberatan apabila harus kehilangan Terry. Dalam benak Capello, kepentingan timnas Inggris harus lebih diutamakan ketimbang memaksakan mempertahankan Terry. Dia takut, sorotan media, dan beban mental bakal menghantui Terry dan justru akan membawa dampak negatif pada tim Inggris secara keseluruhan.

Memang, apabila melihat dua laga terakhir yang dilakoni Terry bersama dengan Chelsea, kekhawatiran Capello tersebut sangat beralasan. Di laga melawan Burnley, walau mencetak gol, tak bisa dipungkiri Terry sendiri nampak terbebani dengan kasusnya itu. Sementara, di laga melawan Hull, Terry nampak kikuk bermain dalam sorakan penonton yang bernada melecehkannya, terkait perselingkuhannya dengan Vanessa Perroncel.

Rencananya, hal-hal itulah yang bakal dibahas Capello saat bertemu Terry. Yang jelas, apabila Terry merasa tidak sanggup, Capello membuka pintu lebar-lebar bagi Terry untuk mengundurkan diri, sebelum terpaksa harus dilengserkan.

Sementara itu, dukungan pada Terry juga terus mengalir. Salah satunya dari Allan Mullery. Mantan kapten timnas Inggris ini menyatakan bahwa Terry tidak harus kehilangan posisi kapten karena skandal yang telah dilakukannya.

"Ada beberapa kapten timnas Inggris, sebelum Terry yang juga melakukan skandal seperti itu. Bahkan, asa yang lebih memalukan. Saya tidak akan menyebut siapa mereka. Namun, yang jelas tidak ada orang yang lebih suci, sehingga berhak menghakimi orang lain,"tegas bintang Inggris di Piala Dunia 1970 di Meksiko tersebut

Gerrard Layak Gantikan Terry
Andi Abdullah Sururi - detiksport

Skandal perselingkuhan John Terry membuat bek Chelsea itu dinilai sebagian kalangan tak pantas lagi menyandang ban kapten tim nasional Inggris. Siapa penggantinya, Steven Gerrard-lah orangnya.

Demikian hasil polling detiksport merujuk silang pendapat keberadaan Terry sebagai skipper skuad "Tiga Singa", setelah ketahuan mencurangi istri dan keluarganya dengan melakukan serong dengan perempuan lain.

Gerrard, yang saat ini adalah deputi Terry di tim Inggris, mendapat dukungan paling banyak dari pembaca detiksport. Dari 4.125 suara yang masuk per Jumat (5/2/2010) pukul 11.30 WIB, ia mengantongi 49,3 persen.

Figur kapten sebelumnya, David Beckham, dianggap masih layak menjadi pemimpin Inggris dan dia memperoleh suara terbanyak nomor dua (745, 18,05%). Tempat ketiga diduduki wakil Terry di klub Chelsea, Frank Lampard.

Tentang perkembangan kasus tersebut, pelatih Fabio Capello dijadwalkan bertemu dengan Terry akhir pekan ini untuk mencari solusi terbaik demi kepentingan tim. Sejauh ini suara-suara yang menginginkan Terry didepak sebagai kapten relatif lebih dominan. Alasan terbesarnya adalah moral.

Hasil polling detiksport
"Karena kasus perselingkuhannya, John Terry terancam dipecat sebagai kapten timnas Inggris. Menurut Anda, siapa yang pantas menggantikannya?"

Steven Gerrard: 2.035 (49,3%)
David Beckham: 745 (18,05%)
Frank Lampard: 690 (16,72%)
Wayne Rooney: 602 (14,58%)

BeritaBola.com: Jakarta - Manajer Inggris Fabio Capello telah mencopot ban kapten dari lengan John Terry. Karena pengganti tetap Terry belum diumumkan, maka kasak-kusuk pun terus berkembang.

Terry dicopot dari jabatan kapten setelah ia bertemu dengan Capello di Wembley, Jumat (5/2/2010). Pencopotan itu diakibatkan oleh perselingkuhan yang dilakukan Terry denan Vanessa Perroncel, mantan pacar Wayne Bridge.

Terry menyudahi tugasnya selama kurang dari dua tahun sejak ia ditunjuk pada Agustus 2008. Selama 15 kali memimpin The Three Lions, Terry mempersembahkan 11 kemenangan, dua seri dan dua kali kalah.

Meski Terry sudah bukan lagi kapten, Capello tidak serta merta menunjuk penggantinya. Deputi kapten Rio Ferdinand akan memangku jabatan tersebut meski banyak yang yakin itu bukanlah penunjukkan permanen.

Maka, spekulasi tentang siapa yang akan tampil sebagai kapten baru pun muncul di mana-mana. Sejumlah nama seperti Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, Wayne Rooney, bahkan David Beckham pun diapungkan.

Berikut adalah kandidat kapten baru Inggris:
1. Rio Ferdinand
Bek tengah Manchester United ini awalnya kurang diunggulkan. Namun setelah pemecatan definitif Terry dikeluarkan Capello, nama Ferdinand terkerek naik. Sang pemain sendiri tampaknya cukup berambisi menjadi kapten.

Cuma saja masalahnya, Ferdinand tengah rentan cedera. Bek berusia 30 tahun itu beberapa kali tak bermain untuk MU karena masalah kebugaran. Walau begitu, kualitas leadership Ferdinand tak perlu diragukan.

2. Steven Gerrard
Kapten dan produk asli Liverpool dan selalu menjadi jantung permainan The Reds. Seorang pemimpin alami yang disegani kawan dan lawan serta seringkali keluar sebagai pemecah kebuntuan timnya.

3. Wayne Rooney
Penyerang MU ini kian bertambah dewasa di usianya yang mencapai 24 tahun. Dengan emosi yang sudah lebih tertata, Rooney diperkirakan sudah cukup kuat diberi tanggung jawab sebagai kapten baru.

Namun masih banyak pula yang meragukan kapasitas Rooney mengingat usianya yang terhitung muda. Selain itu posisinya sebagai striker menjadi faktor minus karena berpotensi menghambat komunikasi.

4. David Beckham
Mantan kapten sebelum Terry. Meski telah berusia 34 tahun, Beckham masih sanggup bermain di level tertinggi bersama klubnya saat ini, AC Milan. Walau begitu, Beckham kesulitan untuk merebut posisi starter di timnas dan itu bisa menghalanginya jadi kapten lagi.

Kabar boleh beredar, tapi pada akhirnya, Capello-lah yang akan menentukan. Yang jelas, tugas kapten baru Inggris nanti tak mudah. Ia harus mampu menjadi pemimpin untuk 'Tiga Singa' di Piala Dunia 2010 yang akan berlangsung empat bulan lagi.

Dengan berkaca pada hasil kualifikasi, Inggris berada dalam posisi diunggulkan di Afrika Selatan. Di sana, pasukan Capello tergabung di Grup C bersama Amerika Serikat, Aljazair dan Slovenia. Inggris terakhir kali jadi juara dunia pada tahun 1966.

Fergie Bangga Jika Rio Kapteni Inggris
Rossi Finza Noor - detiksport

Manchester - Usai John Terry lengser jadi skipper timnas Inggris, ban kapten untuk sementara pindah ke lengan Rio Ferdinand. Pelatih Manchester United, Sir Alex Ferguson, merasa bangga seandainya Rio resmi mengapteni The Three Lions.

Terry dicopot dari jabatan kapten Inggris setelah skandal perselingkuhannya dengan Vanessa Perroncel terkuak. Pencopotan tersebut dilakukan setelah Terry melakukan pembicaraan dengan pelatih Inggris, Fabio Capello.

Capello memang belum memutuskan secara resmi siapa yang akan menjadi suksesor Terry. Tetapi untuk sementara jabatan tersebut akan dipegang oleh Rio, yang di level klub juga beberapa kali menjadi kapten The Red Devils.

Walau belum resmi, Fergie tetap menyambut antusias hal ini. Pelatih asal Skotlandia ini merasa bangga jika akhirnya ada seorang pemain MU yang memimpin sebuah tim nasional di Piala Dunia.

"Kami turut bahagia untuknya dan sangat bagus untuk Manchester United jika ada seorang pemainnya memimpin negaranya," kata Fergie seperti dilansir AFP.

"Pada tahun-tahun sebelumnya kami pernah melihat Gary (Neville), Bobby Charlton dan Bobby Robson yang pernah memimpin di sekitar 60 laga. Jadi, kami sangat bangga dengan hal ini."

Namun demikian, reputasi Rio bukannya bebas dari skandal. Ia pernah mendapatkan larangan tampil selama delapan bulan akibat lalai menjalani tes doping. Akibatnya, ia pun tak ikut memperkuat Inggris pada Piala Eropa 2004.

Carrick: Ferdinand Layak Jadi Kapten

Bola.net - Walau banyak yang meragukan kapasitas Rio Ferdinand sebagai kapten timnas Inggris, dukungan tetap mengalir bagi pemain belakang tangguh tersebut. Salah satu dukungan tersebut datang dari rekannya di Manchester United, Michael Carrick. Menurut Carrick, Ferdinand merupakan sosok yang tepat menggantikan John Terry.

"Rio merupakan pemimpin dan kapten tim yang sangat mengagumkan. Dia merupakan pemain kelas dunia,"papar Carrick, seperti dikutip dari The Sun.

"Dia telah menunjukkan hal itu di final Liga Champions, dan memenangkannya. Jadi, saya kira, dia sangat layak untuk mendapat kehormatan seperti itu."

"Rio merupakan pemain yang dihormati di kalangan pemain lain. dan itu merupakan hal yang sangat penting. Saya yakin, dia akan berhasil menjalankan tanggung jawab barunya tersebut."

"Saya rasa, pergantian dari Terry ke Ferdinand tidak akan berpengaruh besar pada tim ini,"tandas Carrick

Capello: Terry Tak Bakal Jadi Kapten Inggris Lagi

Bola.net - Manajer Inggris, Fabio Capello mengungkapkan kalau John Terry menjalani latihan dengan baik serta mulai terbiasa dengan situasi tak lagi menjadi kapten The Three Lions, karena kecil kemungkinan ia bakal mendapatkan kembali jabatannya tersebut.

Bek Chelsea tersebut dicopot dari jabatan kapten timnas setelah skandal kehidupan pribadinya terkuak di hadapan publik, hal yang juga membuat mantan partner b>Terry di timnas, Wayne Bridge merasa perlu untuk mengakhiri karirnya di level internasional.

"Terry tahu kalau ia tak bakal menjadi kapten lagi dan itu hal yang normal," ujar Capello pada konferensi pers. "Dia sama seperti pemain lain, berlatih dengan baik. Dia akan menjadi pemain yang sama di ruang ganti."

"Saya berbicara dengannya dan mengatakan 'Kamu harus melakukan hal yang sama seperti seorang kapten'."

Saat ditanya apakah ada kemungkinan Terry bakal mendapat kembali jabatannya, Capello menjawab, "Saya rasa tidak."

"Saya rasa kapten kami berikutnya adalah Rio Ferdinand, saat ia hadir di sini. Untuk pertandingan melawan Mesir nanti, posisi kapten akan dipegang Steven Gerrard."

Capello yang sempat bersikukuh tak memanggil David Beckham meski akhirnya mengubah pikirannya, menolak membandingkan hal tersebut dengan kasus Terry saat ini. "Itu hal yang berbeda. Keputusan saya terhadap David Beckham adalah keputusan teknis, sementara ini bukan keputusan teknis."

Pelatih asal Italia itu juga menolak mengomentari lebih jauh insiden ketika Wayne Bridge menolak jabat tangan Terry akhir pekan kemarin saat Chelsea dibekuk Manchester City. "Itu masalah pribadi dan bukan masalah saya."

Peluang Bridge kembali ke timnas Inggris, menurut Capello tetap terbuka, pun demikian dengan pemain lain.

"Pintu selalu terbuka untuk semua pemain, dan jika Wayne Bridge ingin kembali maka pintu selalu terbuka. Tak hanya untuk dia, juga untuk Michael Owen. Kami memantau semua pemain," imbuh Capello.

Review: Duo Cadangan Menangkan Inggris
http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/358/englandvegyptinternatio.jpg
Bola.net - Dua pemain pengganti Inggris, Peter Crouch dan Shaun Wright-Phillips membantu timnya bangkit dan menaklukkan Mesir dalam laga persahabatan di Wembley, Kamis (4/3) dini hari.

Tim tamu sejatinya bermain lebih baik dengan memperagakan permainan cepat dan passing akurat yang merepotkan para pemain The Three Lions, sementara Inggris kalah di lini tengah sehingga menyebabkan penyerang mereka, Wayne Rooney harus turun mencari bola.

Mohamed Zidan membuat tim tamu unggul di menit 23 setelah memanfaatkan kesalahan bek Matthew Upson, membuat publik mengolok tim asuhan Fabio Capello tersebut di babak pertama.

Namun masuknya Crouch dan Michael Carrick di paruh kedua membuat permainan Inggris jauh lebih baik. Carrick mampu memberi keseimbangan di lini tengah Inggris, sementara kegagalan Steven Gerrard memanfaatkan sisi samping serangan mampu ditutup dengan masuknya Shaun Wright-Phillips.

Crouch menyamakan kedudukan untuk Inggris di menit 56 ketika ia memanfaatkan crossing Gareth Barry dengan tendangan dari jarak dekat.

Inggris menggandakan keunggulan di menit 75 ketika tendangan James Milner bisa diblok kiper Mesir, Essam El Hadary namun bola muntah jatuh di kaki Wright-Phillips di tepi kotak penalti yang kemudian melepaskan tendangan menjebol gawang Mesir yang gagal dicegah El Hadary.

Crouch memastikan kemenangan Inggris di menit 80 kembali lewat tendangan dari tiang dekat kali ini memanfaatkan crossing Wright-Phillips.

Kemenangan yang diraih susah payah ini membuat para pemain Inggris harus waspada karena mereka akan menghadapi tim dengan karakter yang hampir sama, Aljazair di putaran final Piala Dunia nanti. (bola/row)

Heskey quits England
Soccernet - July 15, 2010

Emile Heskey has announced his retirement from international football after winning 62 caps and scoring seven goals for England.

Heskey announced his decision after a disappointing World Cup campaign for the country as Fabio Capello's side were defeated 4-1 by Germany in the second round, with Heskey making an appearance as a 71st-minute substitute in Bloemfontein.

That would prove to be the last international contribution for a player who has at times been a divisive figure amongst supporters of the national side.

"I have enjoyed every moment of my England career and worn the shirt with pride every time I have been fortunate enough to have been selected," Heskey said.

"I would like to thank every manager I have played under, everyone at the FA and the fans for all their support over the years. I wish the management team and the playing squad all the best for the future."

Heskey made his debut for England in April 1999 during a friendly against Hungary in Budapest. Perhaps the highlight of his international career came in 2001 when he scored England's fifth goal in a 5-1 rout of Germany in Munich.

The Aston Villa striker appeared at the European Championships in 2000 and 2004 and also featured in the 2002 World Cup campaign as England were eliminated by Brazil in the quarter-finals.

But although he proved an effective foil for both Michael Owen and Wayne Rooney across his international career, Heskey's contribution was often questioned by supporters who highlighted his poor strike-rate in the England shirt.

Cantona: Inggris Bakal Kesulitan
KOMPAS.com - 17/7/2010 | 00:58 WIB

LONDON, Legenda Manchester United, Eric Cantona, memprediksi tim nasional Inggris bakal menemui kesulitan lolos ke Piala Eropa dan Piala Dunia mendatang, bila aturan pemain asing di Premier League tidak segera direformasi.

Ketika Cantona merumput di MU, tak banyak pemain asing yang bermain di Premier League. Tapi sekarang, keadaan justru berbalik. Pemain lokal Inggris nyaris tak mendapat tempat di klub-klub besar Premier League. Tim-tim kecil pun memiliki banyak pemain asing. Kondisi ini sangat jauh berbeda dari Spanyol.

Menurut mantan pemain timnas Perancis ini, "The Three Lions" bisa menerima hasil yang lebih buruk di Piala Dunia Afrika Selatan 2010 lalu, bila batasan jumlah pemain asing tak dikurangi.

Federasi Sepak Bola Inggris (FA) sebetulnya telah mengeluarkan aturan baru, di mana tiap klub wajib mempunyai minimal delapan pemain lokal. Namun, Cantona tetap meragukan dampak positif dari kebijakan ini bagi timnas Inggris. Cantona menilai, pengurangan jumlah pemain asing adalah cara yang lebih efektif, ketimbang kewajiban memiliki pemain lokal dengan jumlah tertentu.

"Anda boleh memiliki pemain asing, tapi hanya tiga, empat atau lima," ucap Cantona pada harian Inggris The Telegraph. "Anda juga harus punya pemain muda Inggris yang bagus karena mereka berkesempatan untuk bermain dengan pemain asing dan berkembang bersama mereka."

"Mereka (pemain lokal) akan mendapat kesempatan bersama tim pertama dan mereka akan bermain untuk memenangkan titel Premier League, pertandingan dengan tekanan besar, mereka akan bermain di level Eropa dan mereka akan mendapat pengalaman dari pertandingan tersebut," lanjutnya.

"Jika ini terus berlanjut, dalam 10 tahun ke depan, keadaan akan semakin sulit. Saya yakin Inggris tidak akan lolos kualifikasi Piala Eropa dan Piala Dunia. Anda perlu pemain yang bermain di level tertinggi, jadi Anda harus berhati-hati dengan masalah ini," kata Cantona, mengingatkan.

"Anda mungkin masih punya generasi seperti Steven Gerrard dan pemain lainnya. Karena saat mereka muda, tak terlalu banyak pemain asing di Premier League. Sangat penting bagi timnas untuk mempunyai pemain muda yang terlibat di tim-tim terbaik karena mereka akan bermain di kompetisi yang amat kuat," tutup Cantona.

Dua tahun lalu Inggris gagal lolos ke putaran final Piala Eropa. Di Piala Dunia 2006, Inggris hanya finis di perempat final dan keok di babak 16 besar Piala Dunia 2010.

Kayaknya nyambung ama berita diatas :-?. Sebagai Fans England, saya berharap demikian apa yg diharapkan Direktur FA berikut ini.

FA Inggris Bakal 'Investasi' SDM Lokal
Viola Kurniawati - detiksport

London - Terpuruk di Piala Dunia membuat Inggris dikritik berbagai kalangan; tidak kaya akan sumber daya lokal seperti pemain dan pelatih. Oleh karenanya, mereka pun akan mulai "berinvestasi" saat ini.

Jika dibandingkan dengan tiga negara Eropa semifinalis Piala Dunia, yang kaya akan keahlian pemain lokal serta dibesut oleh pelatih yang berasal dari negaranya sendiri. Karena itulah direktur Federasi Sepakbola Inggris (FA) Sir Trevor Brooking bertekad calon pelatih berikutnya setelah Fabio Capello adalah seorang warga Inggris.

"Saya pikir dalam jangka panjang, setelah Fabio, kami akan memilih orang Inggris," ujarnya kepada BBC Radio 5.

"Kami ingin menciptakan kondisi dimana kami menunjuk pelatih berkebangsaan Inggris dan Fabio dapat membantu kami menjembatani gap yang ada dan membantu transisi kami," imbuhnya.

Brooking sendiri termasuk salah satu jajaran petinggi FA yang tetap setuju mempertahankan jabatan sang Italiano. Capello merupakan manajer kedua Three Lions yang berasal dari luar tanah Inggris setelah sebelumnya Sven-Goran Eriksson membesut tim pada tahun 2001-2006.

Tidak hanya investasi pelatih, Brooking juga memiliki rencana untuk membenahi timnas 'Tiga Singa' secara keseluruhan, baik dari segi penggalakan generasi muda hingga struktur kepelatihan. Sayangnya, hal ini berbenturan dengan kondisi ekonomi yang sedang dialami FA dengan ditinggalnya sponsor pasca terseoknya Inggris di Afrika Selatan.

"Sangat penting memiliki seseorang yang berpengalaman sekarang untuk beberapa tahun ke depan karena dua, empat atau enam tahun lagi akan menjadi tantangan berat bagi siapa pun yang terpilih jadi manajer."

"Tentu saja kami akan melihat anggaran kami sekarang karena kondisi keuangan kami yang berat. Namun, melihat pada Spanyol, Jerman dan Belanda, mereka berinvestasi pelatih dan pengembangan pemain beberapa dekade terakhir. Sekarang mereka tinggal menikmati hasilnya," jelasnya.

Green Terendah, Defoe Tertinggi

Beritabola.com London - Pelatih timnas Inggris Fabio Capello memberikan penilaian terhadap skuadnya. Kiper Robert Green mendapat poin terendah, sedang striker Jermain Defoe menjadi yang terbaik.

Penilaian itu diberikan melalui program bernama Capello Index. Seperti diberitakan Guardian, penilaian tersebut didasarkan pada penampilan The Three Lions di Piala Dunia 2010.

Kiper Green yang melakukan blunder kala melawan Amerika Serikat, mendapatkan poin rata-rata terendah yakni 51,67. Blunder teresbut menyebabkan The Three Lions harus puas bermain imbang 1-1, padahal sudah lebih dahulu memimpin lewat Steven Gerrard.

Sementara itu Jermain Defoe menjadi yang terbaik. Pengemas gol tunggal kemenangan atas Slovenia ini mendapat nilai 62,47. Berkat "jasa" striker Tottenham Hotspur itu, Inggris lolos dari fase grup.

Sedangkan Wayne Rooney yang digadang-gadang bakal sukses, hanya meraih poin rata-rata 58,87, sedikit lebih tinggi dari striker Spanyol Fernando Torres dan lebih rendah dari Jerome Boateng.

Sementara itu bila menilik pada nilai per pertandingan, maka Gerrard mencatat nilai terbaik, yakni 66,36 dalam laga melawan Amerika Serikat.

Terry place in doubt
Soccernet staff - July 18, 2010

Fabio Cannavaro believes John Terry is likely to be left out of Fabio Capello's next England squad following his actions at the World Cup.

Terry, axed as England captain in February following allegations about his private life, was said to have upset Capello in South Africa when he held a press conference about team selection and tactics.

Capello has said he is going to make changes to his England squad ahead of the Euro 2012 qualifiers and former Italy captain Cannavaro, who played under Capello at Juventus and Real Madrid, feels Terry will be among those to go.

"My thoughts are that John Terry won't be on the team sheet," Cannavaro told the Daily Star Sunday. "You don't cross Fabio and he won't want anybody disrupting his tournament again.

"It was absolutely the correct decision for the English FA to keep Fabio on. He can make this England team his own now - and I would actually make them the favourites for Euro 2012.

"When he joined Real Madrid, he brought a lot of players in the first season like myself and Ruud van Nistelrooy and the result was instant success but internationally it takes time to build your own team.

"I don't want to speak for Fabio but I'd be surprised if more than five of the players who started against Germany start the opening game of Euro 2012.

"For me, the only two players that can be guaranteed to start in 2012 are Ashley Cole and Wayne Rooney. By then, Fabio will have had enough time to build his own team and I think it will be unrecognisable compared to what it was at the World Cup.

"Spain will be there but if Fabio gets rid of egos, I think England will see exactly why it was a good decision to keep him on."

Capello made Terry the top-ranked England defender in his controversial Capello Index player-rating system.

Rooney Biang Kegagalan Inggris
KOMPAS.com/HERY PRASETYO - 19/7/2010 | 03:42 WIB

http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa130/bar_1129/2009_2010/0341475p.jpg

PARIS, Mantan arsitek Liverpool, Gerard Houllier, menyalahkan striker Wayne Rooney sebagai biang kegagalan Inggris di Piala Dunia 2010. Menurutnya, jika saja Rooney lebih tajam, mungkin nasib Inggris akan berbeda.

Rooney bermain buruk di Afrika Selatan. Ia selalu tampil sebagai starter, tapi tak mampu mencetak satu gol pun. Pada akhirnya, Inggris tak bermain tajam dan mereka tersingkir di babak perdelapan final oleh Jerman.

"Mungkin kunci untuk mengerti kegagalan Inggris di Piala Dunia adalah para pemain mereka tak bermain seperti yang diharapkan. Saya berpikiran mengenai Wayne Rooney. Dia adalah pemain yang hebat, tapi saya tak tahu apakah dia lelah atau tak fit di Piala Dunia. Jika Rooney yang bagi saya merupakan striker hebat mampu mencetak gol, mungkin ceritanya akan berbeda," kata Houllier.

"Jika Anda melihat tim dengan satu atau dua finisher hebat, seperti Jerman, Belanda dan Spanyol, mereka mampu melangkah jauh. Uruguay juga bisa melangkah jauh karena mereka punya Diego Forlan," lanjut Houllier.

Ini adalah Piala Dunia kedua Rooney. Empat tahun lalu, ia juga gagal total di Jerman. Dari lima pertandingan, tak sekali pun striker Manchetser United itu mampu membobol gawang lawan. Total, Rooney telah membela "The Three Lions" dalam 64 pertandingan dengan torehan 25 gol.

The controversial 'Capello Index' - ranking all the players at the World Cup based on their performances - has been published, though England boss Fabio Capello has demanded it be removed from the internet.

It claims to be "a statistical analysis system developed in order to offer a universal and completely objective result."

Capello was roundly criticised when the ratings system was revealed before the World Cup and at the behest of the English Football Asscoiation, it was agreed not to publish the index until after the finals.

Of the England players who saw action in South Africa, Jermain Defoe emerged with the highest rating - 62.47, while Robert Green finshed lowest with 51.67 and Peter Crouch was not adjudged to have played enough minutes to be given a mark.

Every player at the World Cup finals was rated, with Golden Ball winner Diego Forlan (65.77) ranked as the best player at the tournament according to the 'Capello Index' - ahead of Miroslav Klose (65.39) and Golden Boot winner Thomas Muller (65.36).

Capello has now demanded that the index be removed from the internet after insisting he had not seen or approved of the controversial rankings, an FA spokesman has confirmed.

_________________________________________________

Joey Barton: I'm as good as anybody in England
Soccernet - July 19, 2010

Newcastle midfielder Joey Barton says that he can force his way into the England squad after claiming that he is ''as good as anybody in the country''.

Barton appeared in the 1-0 friendly defeat to Spain in 2007, but saw his international ambitions crushed by a combination of injury and off-pitch incidents that ultimately saw him spend time in prison for assault.

However, having watched England struggle at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Barton now believes that he could be the answer for coach Fabio Capello if he can regain his form.

"For me, first and foremost I want to do well for Newcastle United," Barton told the Evening Chronicle. "But watching some of the performances in the World Cup over the summer I think that on form, I'm as good as anybody in this country.

"I don't say that lightly and I have to go out and prove that, but surely every midfielder in this country should be thinking like that? They should be looking at it and saying, 'That's where I want to be and that's where I can go'.

"That's my goal, and if I break into the England squad, it proves that I am doing fantastic for this football club. Firstly, I have to do well for Newcastle, though."

Barton struggled with injury as Newcastle sealed their place back in the Premier League for 2010-11, but thinks that he has progressed as a player since the club were last in the top flight.

"At the end of the day, I was an England international as a box-to-box midfield player," he added. "I don't say this lightly, but I'm a much more rounded footballer now than I was when I first signed for this club. Injuries have restricted my chances to show that.

"If I can sustain fitness for a long period of time, I'm very confident of finding the form that got me in the England squad."

No wholesale changes to England squad
Soccernet, Harry Harris - August 5, 2010

England coach Fabio Capello will notify clubs on Thursday of around 32 players that he will consider for his squad for the Hungary friendly on August 11, with Arsenal duo Jack Wilshere and Kieran Gibbs tipped for a call-up.

Capello will name his final 23 on Saturday evening but, while the nation is seeking a fresh start after the World Cup debacle in South Africa, wholesale changes are not expected.

The emerging talents of Wilshere and Gibbs have been left out of the England Under-21 squad along with Micah Richards, Lee Cattermole, Adam Johnson and Theo Walcott. However, while there is room for potential young stars to make the breakthrough, the spine of the old guard will remain, more out of necessity than design, for now.

Soccernet has been informed by sources close to the England camp that Capello cannot take too many risks with European Championship qualifiers at home to Bulgaria and away to the impressive Swiss, following just one warm-up game.

"It will be a long process, it cannot be done overnight, that is not possible if England need to qualify for the European Championships," said a source. "It would be dangerous to make wholesale changes to discard the best players, because they remain the best players, unless someone can suddenly come up with players who are better.

"The point is that this is the only time to get the players together to sort out the team in time for two very important European Championship qualifiers.''

Capello's pragmatic approach will not endear him to a now sceptical English public who want to see new faces involved in the set-up, and many expect the fans to be yelling for the blood of the old guard when the players walk out at Wembley on August 11.

With captain Rio Ferdinand out injured, John Terry's position in the heart of the defence has come under the microscope after his ill-advised comments in South Africa. However, Terry is unlikely to pay the price with his place in the team.

"Fabio is not disappointed with the behaviour of the players despite what has been suggested, reported and said,'' the source added. ''It might be tempting to refresh the team, but often that can affect the young players if too many come into the team all in one go.

"The reality is that the manager doesn't have much to complain about the players. They simply didn't perform, and that was the problem. However the intention is to look forward, to bring in young players and give them a chance, but it has to be a gradual process.

"Right now the job is to make the clubs aware of which of their players might be called up on Saturday evening. Some of the young players we have in mind might be better served playing for the Under-21s, than just be part of the senior squad.

"Even some of the senior players who might not be in the right condition to actually play, would need to be called up as the manager will need to go through things in the one game before the qualifiers. With all these issues the selection process is much more complicated than usual.''

Dipanggil Capello, Duo 'Gunners' Terkejut
Ini kali pertama Wilshere dan Gibbs masuk skuad timnas Inggris senior.
Haryanto Tri Wibowo

VIVAnews - Duo Arsenal Jack Wilshere dan Kieran Gibbs tidak bisa menyembunyikan kegembiraannya menyusul dipanggil Fabio Capello masuk skuad tim nasional Inggris untuk melawan Hongaria, Rabu 11 Agustus 2010.

Setelah memperkuat tim nasional Inggris di level yunior, Wilshere berhasil naik kelas. Hal itu tidak lepas dari impresifnya permainan Wilshere saat dipinjamkan Arsenal ke Bolton Wanderers musim lalu. Di laga pramusim gelandang 18 tahun ini juga tampil bagus.

Wilshere mengaku bisa masuk timnas Indonesia senior adalah salah satu mimpinya, dan mantan pemain Luton Town ini tidak menyangka bisa mendapat panggilan Capello saat masih bekerja keras mendapat posisi reguler di Arsenal.

"Dipanggil masuk tim Inggris adalah momen yang membanggakan bagi saya dan keluarga, tetapi target pertama saya adalah masuk tim inti Arsenal dan bermain rutin. Untuk mencapai itu, saya harus rendah hati, bekerja keras, dan tetap fokus," ujar Wilshere seperti dikutip Goal, Minggu 8 Agustus 2010.

Gibbs sendiri sebelumnya hanya menjadi andalan timnas Inggris U-21, dan bek kiri ini ingin menjadikannya untuk menambah pengalaman.

"Mencapai potensi maksimal penting untuk memperbaiki semua aspek dari permainan saya dan pemanggilan ini pasti akan menjadi pengalaman belajar yang hebat. Saya hanya ingin memanfaatkan semua kesempatan yang diberikan untuk memperbaiki permainan saya," papar Gibbs.

"Saya merasa ini suntikan besar bagi saya karena saya harus absen lima bulan karena cedera dan ini kesempatan yang pas untuk berterima kasih kepada dokter operasi dan dukungan medis yang saya terima untuk kembali bugar penuh," tutup Gibbs.

Wilshere dan Gibbs melengkapi tiga pemain Arsenal yang dipanggil Capello. Pelatih asal Italia itu juga memanggil Theo Walcott.

Bent forced out of England squad
Soccernet - August 9, 2010

Fabio Capello's new-look England were reduced by another player on Monday when Darren Bent was forced to return to Sunderland with a back injury.

Bent is now considered a major doubt for Sunderland's Premier League opener against Birmingham City at the weekend.

Capello began training on Monday with just 16 of the 23 players he originally selected as they began preparations for Wednesday's friendly with Hungary at Wembley.

The squad was reduced by two on Sunday when Paul Robinson and Wes Brown announced their international retirements. Capello has opted not to draft in any replacements, although it is anticipated he could bring in someone from Stuart Pearce's Under-21 squad.

In addition to the permanent absentees, five more players were unable to play a full part in training on Monday morning.

Chelsea duo John Terry and Ashley Cole both went for warm-down sessions after forming part of the initial group meeting. In addition, Bent (back), Glen Johnson and Gareth Barry (both ankle) also went for treatment.

It is not anticipated that any of the quintet will miss out on selection and are expected to train on Tuesday.

Capello looks for answers to England's fear factor
Soccernet - August 9, 2010

Fabio Capello has admitted that he is not sure how to stop England playing "with fear" after the disastrous World Cup campaign.

Capello took his first training session following the debacle in South Africa on Monday, hoping his experience in management will help the squad overcome its problems.

The coach saw the confidence of the qualifying campaign completely disappear at the finals, with the quick-tempo game replaced by a nervous, laboured level of performance.

He said: "South Africa wasn't good but we did not play at the same level that we played in qualification. When you play a World Cup competition, you have to arrive in really good physical condition. We were not so fresh as the games we played before the World Cup. We changed some things but it was not enough.

"Another thing really important thing is the mind of the players. We played not with confidence but with fear. I don't know what we have to do to improve the mind of the players.

"Every experience is important for the players, the manager - I learned a lot. When you lose something, the experience is very important, you have to understand what really happened and understand if I, or we, made mistakes and, from that, improve. Everyone makes mistakes.

"I think I can do something for this team because my experience is good and we can improve more.''

Capello insists he does not have a communication problem despite the chaotic start to preparations. Capello watched Michael Carrick complete almost all of the Community Shield for Manchester United, having previously been told the midfielder was out for a fortnight with an ankle injury, and Chelsea's Daniel Sturridge come on as a substitute even though he had been ruled out of Under-21 duty.

"I spoke with Sir Alex Ferguson after he won the trophy and he said sorry,'' said Capello. "He told me Carrick had been injured two days previously but then turned up on Saturday and said he wanted to play.

"I also had a conversation with (sporting director) Frank Arnesen at Chelsea about Daniel Sturridge. He said Sturridge had not trained for two weeks, which is why he was not selected for the Under-21s. In pre-season it is not easy to understand what really happens because you can recover from injury really quickly.''

Capello also decided to set the record straight about Scholes, confirming the view that having asked the 35-year-old about the possibility of coming out of international retirement on the eve of his squad announcement in mid-May, the midfielder indicated he would make the journey, only to change his mind the following morning.

"Scholes spoke with Franco Baldini in the evening and said yes, he would be happy to come with us to the World Cup,'' said Capello. "In the morning, he rang Franco back and told him he had changed his mind and wanted to stay with his family instead. This is really what happened.''

Capello explained the background to the international retirements of both Paul Robinson and Wes Brown.

Capello said: "I accept the decisions. Robinson called us and said he wanted to stay at home. I spoke with Brown here. I told him why I didn't select him for the World Cup because he didn't play for the last two months (of last season).

"This time I selected him because he played all the pre-season games but he said, 'thank you, but I've decided I prefer to stay at home'. You have to accept what they want to do. I think it's an honour to be with the national team and to play for England.''

Asked about the difficulties surrounding young English players struggling for first-team football, Capello said: "This happened to Joe Hart. He went to Birmingham last year and improved a lot, because players need to play. Another case is Ben Foster. I selected him but he didn't play for the last three months with Manchester United.

"It's important to play, to be able to monitor them.''

Capello Meminta Maaf Pada Rakyat Inggris

Bola.net - Setelah lama dinantikan, akhirnya keluar juga kata meminta maaf dari bibir Fabio Capello. Pelatih timnas Inggris ini memohon maaf pada seluruh rakyat Inggris atas penampilan mengenaskan yang ditunjukkan The Three Lions di Piala Dunia 2010 lalu.

"Saya ingin meminta maaf kepada fans yang pergi ke Afrika Selatan. Saya tahu mereka menghabiskan banyak waktu dan uang, dan saya sangat menyesal, tetapi kami kini harus menatap kualifikasi Euro 2012,"ujar Capello, seperti dilansir Goal.

"Ini bukan periode bagus bagi kami, tetapi saya optimis. Ini pekerjaan kami. Saya akan memahami jika fans mengejek kami Rabu depan. Mereka percaya pada tim dan hasilnya tak sesuai. Saya juga kecewa karena target saya lolos ke final, dan kami tak tampil sebagus itu."

"Saya senang dengan cara kami lolos ke Piala Dunia. Kami terakhir kali tampil Maret dan para pemain dalam kondisi bagus. Tetapi saat kami bermain di partai persahabatan sebelum Piala Dunia, para pemain tak dalam kondisi yang sama."

"Kami tahu masalah itu sebelum Piala Dunia. Kami mencoba melakukan semua yang kami bisa. Saya berbicara dengan tim dokter, tetapi tak mungkin untuk memperbaiki situasi. Saya tak ingin menyalahkan pemain, karena filosofi saya, anda menang bersama dan kalah bersama juga," tegas Capello. (goal/den)

Fabio Capello targets victory at Euro 2012
Soccernet - August 10, 2010

Fabio Capello believes England can challenge at Euro 2012.

Capello remains under intense pressure after England's dismal performance at the World Cup finals and had to face a grilling from the press on Monday about how he intends to turn things around.

Despite the question marks over the quality of the players at his disposal, Capello was insistent that he can mount a bid for glory in Poland and Ukraine in two years' time.

"I am here to win the Euros," declared Capello. "I think we are a good team. We are a good team. I have confidence in this team. I don't like to work for anyone without expectations.

"I want to win something. It is always in my mind. If I am here, it is because I have got the confidence of the FA and because I think I can do it.

"Managing England is not easy. Probably it is a little bit harder than in other countries. The money is not very important. The confidence of the FA was important for me. If they had said 'thanks very much' then fine. I don't want to stay just because I signed a contract.

"I want to try again and go forward. I want to try to win something.

"I did a good job in qualification [for the World Cup]. My record is a good one. I don't know the future but the fans should trust me.''

Capello also revealed he turned down offers from three clubs to stay with England: "They were from important clubs but I don't want to speak about them because I respect the managers who are working there now.''

Capello, however, opened himself up for more criticism by saying he was not sure how to change the mindset of a squad which players with fear in South Africa.

He said: "I don't know what we have to do to improve the minds of the players. At this moment I really don't know but we will have to change something.''

Gerrard: England deserve to be booed
Soccernet - August 10, 2010

Steven Gerrard believes England deserve to be jeered by supporters during Wednesday's friendly against Hungary - and the Three Lions captain admitted he would join in if he was in the stands at Wembley.

England are expected to be given a tough time by fans following their disappointing World Cup campaign and boss Fabio Capello earlier revealed that he will throw his underperforming players to the lions - starting the players who flattered to deceive in South Africa to take the brunt of supporters' frustrations.

Gerrad will certainly be one of those players, but he revealed he can empathise with the fans and appears to have accepted the inevitable fate that awaits him and his team-mates at Wembley.

"I'm expecting a mixed reaction," Gerrard said. "I'm sure there'll be boos but we have to take it on the chin. We deserve it, we let them down.

"Hopefully, with time, we can show them we are a good team and that we're desperate to make them happy.''

Asked if he would boo the national team, he said: "I probably would.''

Capello received a lot of criticism for his man-management and tactics during the World Cup but the Football Association chose to stick with the Italian, and Gerrard has no doubt it was the right decision.

"I've got big faith in this manager," Gerrard said. "It would be very stupid and naive not to have that moving forward. He's a fantastic manager.

"You can't shift all the blame onto the manager in these situations. We have to share the blame and take it on the chin together.

"All the players will listen very carefully over the next couple of days and looking forward. Obviously things didn't work out in South Africa so we have to listen to the man who has the experience and follow his lead.

"The manager spoke on behalf of all of us yesterday. For me there are no excuses at all. The simple message is we have to show how sorry we are by our performances on the pitch.

"We have to study where we went wrong on the pitch against Germany and try to put those things right. The mental side of things will only improve by winning games.''

Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher, Gerrard's team-mate for club and country, shared his view on Capello, refusing to blame the England coach for the failings in South Africa.

"I would never criticise Fabio because he has done too much in the game and if he stopped being a manager tomorrow he would go down in history as one of the great managers," Carragher said.

"I always find it hard when players criticise managers because we've never been managers ourselves. We all realise what comes with playing for England - it's massive - and when something goes wrong everyone jumps on it.

"Obviously the World Cup didn't go well but the players have to look at themselves and say we didn't perform as we can."

Capello replaces injured Foster with two kids
Soccernet - August 10, 2010

Injury has forced goalkeeper Ben Foster to withdraw from the England squad to face Hungary on Wednesday night and, with Paul Robinson retiring from international duty, Fabio Capello has strengthened his squad with youngsters Scott Loach and Frankie Fielding.
Foster sustained an injury in training with his country and although Fabio Capello could have called on Robert Green and David James, both of who appeared during the World Cup finals, he has opted to place his faith in youth.

Foster has been struggling with a back problem and has returned to Birmingham City. A statement from the club read: "Ben has picked up an injury and will return to Birmingham for treatment with the club's medical team."

Capello opted not to replace Robinson following his unexpected announcement that he had withdrawn himself from international consideration on Sunday, but Foster's injury meant that Joe Hart was the only available 'keeper for the visit of Hungary.

Blackburn goalkeeper Fielding, 22, represented England Under-21s in their game against Uzbekistan in Bristol on Tuesday and will travel to London to link up with the senior side.

Following their 2-0 victory, Under-21 coach Stuart Pearce said: "He's just won his first start at Under-21 level and now he will be involved with the seniors. That experience can only stand him in great stead.''

Loach, who represents Watford and is also 22, has made 12 appearances at Under-21 level. He will join up with England following his club's Carling Cup tie against Aldershot on Tuesday night.

Loach told Watford's official website: "I'm massively delighted. From watching these players week in, week out, even if it means sitting on the bench for the whole day, just to have the training session with them all tomorrow and to be involved is a big step for me.

"It's the first foot on the ladder and I'll take that because hopefully I'll have many more to come. I'm so happy to be there tomorrow. It's all exciting times. I honestly can't wait to wake up tomorrow morning and go down and have breakfast with everyone there.

"I know a few of the boys - Kieran Gibbs, Adam Johnson, Jack Wilshere and Joe Hart - so it's a bit more comfortable for me going there.''

News of Foster's withdrawal is the latest setback for Capello as he attempts to put the memory of a terrible World Cup performance behind him.

Robinson and Wes Brown promptly retired from international football after being named in the squad to face Hungary while Darren Bent has also been forced to withdraw due to injury.

World Cup flops facing a night on the boos
Soccernet - August 10, 2010

Fabio Capello will hold back his debutants until the second half of Wednesday's friendly against Hungary to allow the fans to vent their frustrations at England's fallen World Cup stars.
Capello was initially expected to hand starts to new caps Jack Wilshere, Kieran Gibbs and Bobby Zamora, but he will instead start the game with 11 players who were part of the squad in South Africa.

The England coach is wary of harming the confidence of those in his squad for the first time by subjecting them to the customary boos which will surely be aimed at the likes of John Terry at Wembley. He plans to introduce them at half-time when the supporters, he hopes, will have mellowed.

"I expect boos. Why not? We win together, we lose together,'' he said. "Always, I respect the crowd but I am the boss. They have to boo me like the players.

"The first XI will be players who were at the World Cup. This is sure because, like me, they have to take the booing.''

England 2-1 Hungary
Gerrard brace saves England blushes
Soccernet - August 11, 2010, 7:00 AM GMT

Steven Gerrard produced a captain's response to bring a smile back to English football just as it appeared it was set for more humiliation.

Trailing to a dubious goal against a Hungary team ranked 62nd in the world, that horrible World Cup hangover seemed set to linger right into the Euro 2012 qualifying campaign.

But, on the night Fabio Capello signalled the end of David Beckham's international career, the man currently wearing the armband burst forward, scoring twice in four minutes to give the Three Lions a victory they so desperately needed.

With decent performances from Theo Walcott, Kieran Gibbs and Bobby Zamora, who came agonisingly close to a debut goal, and an excellent save from Joe Hart to deny Zoltan Gera an equaliser at the death, there were enough positives to retain some optimism that the bid to atone for this summer's World Cup debacle can get off to a positive start against Bulgaria and Switzerland next month.

In ending Beckham's international career in such a low-key manner, Capello could almost have been encapsulating exactly how he sees England moving forward from this point.

There will be no blaze of glory, not even if his side go on to reach the finals in Poland and the Ukraine with eight wins from eight without conceding a goal. No-one will be building anyone up, or talking about a golden generation.

What went on in South Africa was simply too depressing to be forgotten, the well of goodwill has completely run dry.

That is not to say there is no feeling. The lack of booing - reserved mainly for John Terry, Ashley Cole and Wayne Rooney until the whole team got it in the neck after a goalless first-half - is evidence of a genuine desire for the Three Lions to succeed.

It is the trust that is missing. And as Steven Gerrard correctly pointed out yesterday, that will take weeks and months to restore, not one victory against Hungary, no matter how many pointers to the future there were.

If the goal Wayne Rooney thought he had scored inside three minutes had been given, it could have been a decent night for the Three Lions.

Detached from the target man Capello welded him to, Rooney raced onto Gerrard's through-ball and lashed the ball home from the edge of the area.

Unfortunately, unlike that fateful day in Bloemfontein, which Capello still feels now was the scene of a robbery that cost the Italian and his team their shot at glory, the officials got it right. Rooney was half a yard beyond the final man and the goal was disallowed. Thereafter it was time to take solace in individual performances.

Had Walcott produced the incisive running on show in the opening 45 minutes in those warm-up games against Mexico and Japan, he would surely not have been left in tears as the squad departed.

It was Walcott's cut-back that presented fellow winger Adam Johnson - also axed from Capello's provisional group of 30 - with a clear sight of goal. Johnson was in enough space but snatched at the opportunity and drove it over the bar.

Former Crystal Palace keeper Gabor Kiraly tipped Gerrard's curling free-kick over the bar just past the half-hour and a Rooney piledriver was deflected wide after that.

But half-time brought the second seismic shift for England following Beckham's removal from the scene.

Once Capello had made his three substitutions - giving debuts to Michael Dawson, Kieran Gibbs and Bobby Zamora, he was left with seven out of his 11 players having a grand total of 21 caps between them.

Such inexperience should render results irrelevant in a friendly. But it is never that way with England.

So, when Dawson's slip allowed Gera to set an attack in motion that ended with Phil Jagielka turning the ball into his own goal, the boos started again. Had those supporters been watching a replay of the incident, they might have turned their ire on the French officials who, in contrast to their colleagues from Uruguay this summer, saw the ball crossing the line when Dawson had in fact cleared.

Such inconsistencies could not have been lost on Capello, who sat impassively in his seat and remained there, even after Gerrard had weaved his magic.

The last time the Liverpool captain raced away after scoring for England, it was right at the start of the World Cup, when his goal against the United States had given his team the perfect start. On Wednesday night, there was real venom in his reaction after belting a dipping shot into the Hungary net.

Four minutes later, Gerrard swivelled superbly and tucked home a second. It was the kind of captain's response of which Beckham would have been proud.

Gerrard lashes out at critics

After the match, two-goal hero Steven Gerrard hit out at the "unfair" questioning of his and his England team-mates' commitment to their country.

"The players have had a lot of criticism of late, a lot of it really fair and some of it unfair," said the Liverpool skipper, who scored both England goals.

"Because, a lot of criticism had been directed at us saying that we don't care and it doesn't mean anything for us to play for England.

"So I think from my reaction for the first goal, you can see how much it means to myself and the players to be part of this group. Unfair criticism hurts as a player because there's no need for it."

After a largely insipid first 45 minutes, England were booed from the field at half time. They looked set for more jeers when Phil Jagielka was adjudged to have scored an own goal, despite television replays showing Michael Dawson had cleared the ball off the line.

Gerrard, who then came to the rescue, said: "On the back of the disappointment of the World Cup, there was a lot of pressure on the players to get a win tonight and put a performance in. I thought we showed good character after going a goal down and we stuck in there.

"We played well. I thought we passed the ball really well and we got our rewards in the end."

Gerrard added: "In games like this, when you play a team that put a lot of men behind the ball, it's important to get an early breakthrough, and it never came.

"We missed a few chances and obviously they score, so the night becomes 10 times tougher. But we never gave up, we stuck in there, the young lads that came on tonight were fantastic.

"They got thrown right in at the deep end and I think they can be really proud of themselves."

Capello Bersabar untuk Wazza
Narayana Mahendra Prastya - detiksport

London - Wayne Rooney belum menunjukkan ketajamannya bersama timnas Inggris. Pelatih Fabio Capello pun rela bersabar untuk menunggu agar pemain berjuluk Wazza itu kembali ke performa terbaiknya.

Rooney tengah berada dalam titik yang rendah dalam karirnya. Ia yang musim 2009/2010 begitu subur bersama Manchester United, tampak mengalami kebuntuan ketika berseragam Inggris.

Di Piala Dunia 2010 eks Everton itu tidak mencetak satu gol pun. Dalam laga teraktual yang dijalani Inggris tengah pekan kemarin, Wazza yang dipasang selama 66 menit juga tak membobol gawang lawan.

Capello memaklumi kondisi yang dialami oleh sang goal getter. "Saya berharap Wayne Rooney memperoleh musim yang baik namun bagaimana pun dia butuh bermain," jelas pelatih asal Italia itu seperti dikutip dari FIFA.com.

Berdasarkan pengalamannya, Capello menilai bahwa Rooney membutuhkan waktu bermain lebih banyak agar bisa kembali ke performa terbaiknya.

"Butuh minimal 500 hingga 600 menit minimal. Saat ini Wayne sudah bermain 150 menit. Untuk alasan ini, saya menilai bahwa dia butuh minimal tiga pertandingan lagi untuk kembali ke levelnya yang semestinya," tandas pria yang pernah menukangi AC Milan, AS Roma, Juventus, dan Real Madrid itu.

Dalam laga ujicoba Inggris melawan Hongaria tengah pekan kemarin, ketika Rooney diganti di pertengahan babak dua, seluruh sisi stadion Wembley memberikan tepuk tangan. Hal ini bisa dimaknai sebuah penghargaan, namun beberapa menilai bahwa ini merupakan reaksi yang 'keras' untuk menunjukkan bahwa Rooney memang tidak diinginkan berada di lapangan.

"Tak ada masalah. Saya sudah bicara dengannya dan dia baik-baik saja. Saya menilai bahwa Wayne Rooney akan berpikir soal meninggalkan timnas. Ia benar-benar pemain yang bagus dan dia ingin tetap bersama kami," tegas Capello.

"Dia tidak akan terpengaruh dengan apa yang terjadi di Piala Dunia. Kami paham bahwa dia mungkin tidak bermain bagus. Namun dia harus melupakan itu semua. Ini bagian dari pekerjaan dan Anda harus terus maju."

"Reaksi dari fans merupakan sesuatu yang normal. Mereka ingin melihat yang terbaik dari Rooney dan tim. Setiap saat mereka menginginkan yang terbaik, yang terbaik, dan yang terbaik. Namun itu tak mungkin kami lakukan di setiap waktu. Anda harus bersabar untuk itu semua," tutup suksesor Steve McClaren itu.

FA Minta Capello Belajar Bahasa Inggris

Bola.net - Kemampuan berkomunikasi merupakan syarat mutlak bagi seorang pelatih. Karena itulah, para petinggi FA mengultimatum pelatih tim nasional Inggris, Fabio Capello untuk segera memperbaiki kemampuannya berbahasa Inggris.

Seperti dikutip dari News of The World, walau menjamin dirinya bakal tetap menjabat sebagai pelatih timnas Inggris, para petinggi FA tetap meminta Capello untuk belajar bahasa Inggris dengan benar. Hal ini terkait dengan kemampuan bahasa Inggris, pelatih asal Italia tersebut, walau sudah nyaris dua tahun belajar.

Sebelumnya, para pemain Inggris kerap mengeluhkan bahwa Capello tidak bisa mengungkapkan apa yang ada dalam benaknya dalam sesi latihan maupun saat diskusi. Hal ini, menurut para pemain disebabkan kemampuan berbahasa Inggris Capello yang sangat buruk.

Sebagai contoh, menurut para pemain tersebut, Capello pernah membuat seisi ruang ganti pemain tercengang usai kemenangan mereka melawan timnas Hungaria, belakangan ini. Saat mengucapkan selamat pada para anak asuhnya, Capello hanya berkata, "Well done, good win, good win."

Pihak FA berharap dalam waktu dekat hal seperti ini tidak akan terjadi lagi. Mereka yakin, Capello bakal segera memperbaiki kemampuannya dalam berbahasa Inggris. Sebagai pembanding, kompatriot Capello, Carlo Ancelotti telah fasih berbahasa Inggris, hanya beberapa pekan setelah menangani Chelsea. (notw/den)

'Capello Adalah Kesalahan Inggris'
Okdwitya Karina Sari - detiksport

Madrid - Meski tampil meyakinkan di sesi kualifikasi, timnas Inggris gagal total di Piala Dunia 2010. Soal materi pemain, skuad Three Lions diisi para pesepakbola top dunia. Lalu apa yang salah?

Sekali lagi Inggris harus mengubur mimpinya untuk bisa mengangkat trofi Piala Dunia keduanya. Di Afrika Selatan, pasukan arahan Fabio Capello ini tidak mampu menunjukkan performa oke dan justru harus pulang cepat setelah kandas di perdelapanfinal.

Padahal dalam babak kualifikasi, Inggris tampil sangat menyakinkan. Dari 10 laga, Frank Lampard dkk. menang sembilan kali dan cuma kalah sekali. Bahkan tim 'Tiga Singa' adalah salah satu tim tersubur dengan 34 kali membobol gawang lawan.

Dari segi pemain, Inggris tidak perlu diragukan. Lampard, Steven Gerrard, Wayne Rooney, Ashley Cole dan John Terry adalah para pemain terbaik di bidang permainan masing-masing.

Dalam wawancara eksklusifnya dengan Daily Mirror, Jose Mourinho punya pendapat sendiri mengenai permasalahan Inggris tersebut. Menurut arsitek Real Madrid ini pangkal permasalahan justru pada Capello.

Mourinho bahkan menjamin bahwa Inggris tidak akan pernah juara di bawah Capello. Ia berpendapat, Capello yang juga pernah menangani Madrid ini telah menciptakan hubungan yang tidak nyaman dengan para pemainnya.

"Jelas sekali. Capello tidak akan berhasil bersama Inggris. Dia tidak mengenal para pemain. Mereka takut kepadanya dan mereka tidak bisa bermain untuk dia," nilai mantan pembesut Chelsea dan Inter Milan itu.

"Masalahnya ada pada manajer. Tidak ada hubungan timbal balik kepada pemain. Tanya saja pada para pemain Madrid. Dia tidak bisa berubah. Anda tidak akan pernah berhasil hanya dengan berteriak kepada pemain. Mereka butuh diperlakukan spesial."

Capello memang sangat keras dalam melatih Inggris. Setelah melarang WAG's terlalu dekat dengan pemainnya, ia juga dikabarkan tidak pernah mau mengumumkan starting XI bahkan kepada pemainnya sendiri hingga dua jam sebelum laga.

"Bagi saya, ini adalah bencana buat Inggris. Para pemain butuh taktik yang jelas. Mereka tidak boleh bingung tentang apa yang harus dilakukan. Ini adalah kesalahan manajer. Dan ini hal yang sangat memalukan," tutup pria Portugal itu.

Terry, Lampard out and duo doubtful for England
Soccernet - August 28, 2010

John Terry and Frank Lampard will miss England's European Championship qualifiers against Bulgaria and Switzerland after both picked up injuries in Chelsea's 2-0 win against Stoke at Stamford Bridge.

Terry has a hamstring injury, while Lampard will undergo a hernia operation on Tuesday or Wednesday next week and is expected to be out for a fortnight.

Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti said on Frank Lampard: ''It is a very easy surgery but he has started to feel pain and he needs to have the operation. We have already spoken with the national team to explain the situation.''

Fulham striker Bobby Zamora is also unlikely to be available for England after going off in the second half against Blackpool with a thigh injury.

Manager Mark Hughes said: ''Bobby went really stiff at half time. He thought it was just a bang on the muscle and went out again. But he could not shake it off.

''I think he must be a doubt (for England) unfortunately. He was really looking forward to getting a chance. I will imagine he will go and be assessed by the England medical team and we will receive the information as quickly as we can. But at the moment he looks doubtful.''

Goalkeeper David Stockdale, who is believed to be a candidate for England, is also likely to ruled out.

Hughes explained: ''David has come in and done really well. But he has gone over on his ankle. He has got to be a doubt. It will be a real shame if he cannot stay with the group if he is picked.''

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp says Peter Crouch is a doubt as he was withdrawn at half-time of the 1-0 loss at White Hart Lane.

''I think he might have done a rib; he was in agony at half-time. He's not sure if he's broken a rib or what he did but he was in pain.''

Bahas 'Naturalisasi', Capello Temui Arteta

Bola.net - Naturalisasi ternyata bukan sekedar isu yang hanya ramai dibicarakan di Indonesia saja. Bahkan, di Inggris, yang disebut sebagai gudangnya pesepak bola nomor wahid, hal ini juga ramai diperbincangkan.

Seperti dilansir The Sun, keinginan pelatih Inggris, Fabio Capello untuk menaturalisasi gelandang Everton, Mikel Arteta selangkah lagi menjadi kenyataan. Capello dikabarkan telah berbicara dengan pemain kelahiran Spanyol itu untuk mengungkapkan keinginannya.

Dalam beberapa hari ini, Capello dijadwalkan bakal menemui para petinggi FA. Dalam pertemuan ini, Capello harus mampu meyakinkan para pejabat tersebut apabila dia masih menginginkan harapannya menjadi kenyataan.

Sebelumnya, secara terbuka, Arteta tyelah mengungkapkan kesediaannya untuk bergabung bersama timnas Inggris apabila diinginkan oleh Capello.

"Saya tidak tahu apa yang sedang dipikirkan oleh Capello, jika suatu hari kesempatan datang, saya akan mempertimbangkan itu secara serius," kata Arteta.

Media Inggris santer menyebutkan bahwa pemain berusia 28 tahun itu bakal dipanggil oleh Capello sejak dia mendapat kewarganegaraan Inggris awal tahun ini.

Arteta belum pernah bermain secara penuh di tingkat internasional untuk negara asalnya Spanyol, di mana dia kalah bersaing dengan Andres Iniesta, Xavi dan Cesc Fabregas yang sudah mantap ikut memenangi Kejuaraan Eropa dan Piala Dunia (sun/den)

Defoe fit for England duty
Soccernet - August 29, 2010

Jermain Defoe has been included in Fabio Capello's England squad after the Tottenham striker shelved plans to have a groin operation that would have ruled him out of European Championship qualifiers against Bulgaria and Switzerland.

Defoe was scheduled to have surgery next Tuesday, with an expected absence of two to four weeks, but Spurs boss Harry Redknapp said earlier this week the problem had started to clear up and the 27-year-old has made himself available for England duty.

Tottenham pair Defoe and Peter Crouch return to the fold after being rested for the recent friendly clash with Hungary at Wembley due to their Champions League commitments with their club.

Matthew Upson has been handed another opportunity to impress after he slumped to number five on Capello's list of central defenders at the World Cup after the England manager controversially drafted in Jamie Carragher and Ledley King.

He eventually played twice in the dismal campaign but was then axed for last month's victory over Hungary.

However, with John Terry pulling out through injury, Carragher once again retired from England duty and Capello no longer willing to take a chance on King's questionable fitness, Upson once again finds his services are required.

Aside from Terry, Frank Lampard and Bobby Zamora have been ruled out through injury, while both Wes Brown and Paul Robinson have retired.

As youngster Jack Wilshere has been relegated back to the Under-21 squad and doubts remain over a number of players, Capello has been forced to make extensive changes.

The faces are all familiar though, including Scott Carson, who last appeared as a substitute in the friendly win over Germany in Berlin two years ago.

Looking ahead to England's qualifying double-header, Capello said: "It will be two important games. Because in this period the players are in a good situation and physically will be strong.

"Bulgaria is a dangerous team. I watched three games that they played, two before the World Cup and the last against Russia. They lost 1-0 but they played very well, it will be a tough game that we will play here at Wembley.

"On Switzerland, they played the World Cup and they are a good team with good organisation. They have a really important manager [Ottmar Hitzfeld], and when you play away in Switzerland it is not easy to beat this team."

In all, Capello has selected 13 of his World Cup 23 for the first competitive matches of what has been dubbed a new era.

Of the remainder, only Kieran Gibbs and Manchester City's Adam Johnson could truly be described as new faces, although Joe Hart now seems to be established as first choice keeper even though he does not include a competitive appearance amongst his four caps despite being included in Capello's World Cup squad.

Central defensive concerns apart, Capello should not be blaming inexperience if England fail to collect six points from two games, starting at Wembley on Friday against a Bulgaria team now lacking the retired Dimitar Berbatov, before a trip to Basle the following Tuesday to face a dangerous Swiss team that overcame eventual winners Spain in South Africa.

England squad:

Goalkeepers: Scott Carson, Ben Foster, Joe Hart

Defenders: Gary Cahill, Ashley Cole, Michael Dawson, Kieran Gibbs, Phil Jagielka, Glen Johnson, Joleon Lescott, Matthew Upson

Midfielders: Gareth Barry, Michael Carrick, Steven Gerrard, Adam Johnson, James Milner, Theo Walcott, Shaun Wright-Phillips, Ashley Young

Strikers: Darren Bent, Carlton Cole, Peter Crouch, Jermain Defoe, Wayne Rooney

Capello Tiba-Tiba Akan Panggil Beckham Lagi

Bola.net - Fabio Capello secara tidak terduga menyatakan telah membuka pintu kembali bagi David Beckham untuk kembali memperkuat Inggris.

Dalam perubahan yang luar biasa ini, manajer Inggris menelepon untuk mengatakan pada Beckham kalau dia masih catatan 115 caps-nya.

Capello sebelumnya sudah mengakhiri karir internasional Beckham sesaat sebelum laga timnya lawan Hungaria awal bulan ini dan bahkan menawarkan pertandingan perpisahan untuknya.

Dan secara luar biasa, dia sekarang menjanjikan pada mantan kapten Inggris itu kalau dia akan masuk dalam pertimbangan jika dia benar-benar kembali fit di LA Galaxy.

Capello mengatakan: "Pertama-tama Beckham harus bermain lagi, tetapi pintu baginya selalu terbuka. Kami memantau semua pemain."

"Setelah dia pulih dan berada dalam kondisi sangat baik, kami akan membicarakannya lagi nanti."

"Saya pikir masa depan memang berada pada pemain muda tetapi setelah itu, saya yang akan menentukan siapa pemain yang dipilih,"

"Kami mengetahui nilai dari pemain yang lebih tua. Masa depan berada di tangan pemain muda karena kami harus berpikir tentang Piala Eropa, tetapi tidak ada pemain yang disisihkan."

Kebimbangan Capello ini dianggap menjadi faktor kegagalan Inggris di Piala Dunia dan hanya akan memunculkan kebingungan dalam kamp. Dia bahkan melanggar aturan utamanya dalam menelepon langsung pemain tetapi itu dianggapnya menjadi suatu pengecualian karena Beckham merupakan salah satu bagian dari staf pelatih di Piala Dunia.

Capello menambahkan: "Hubungan antara saya dan David sangat baik."

"Saya berbicara dengannya di telepon karena dia adalah bagian dari staf di Piala Dunia. Biasanya saya tidak berbicara dengan pemain tetapi dalam hal ini saya berbicara dengan David." (notw/cax)

Inggris Tanpa Terry di Dua Laga

detik.com

Jakarta - Inggris bakal melewati dua laga pertama babak kualifikasi Piala Eropa 2012 tanpa John Terry. Pilar pertahanan Three Lions tersebut harus beristirahat selama 10 hari karena mengalami cedera hamstring.

Terry dipastikan akan absen di dua laga pertama Inggris karena menderita cedera yang dialaminya ketika berlaga di Piala Dunia 2010. 'Tiga Singa' akan menghadapi Bulgaria di Wembley, Jumat (3/9/2010) dan akan melawat ke St. Jakob Park, Basel empat hari sesudahnya guna melawan Swiss.

Defender Chelsea itu mengakui cedera ini sudah dirasakannya sejak tampil di laga persahabatan menghadapi Hungaria dua pekan lalu. Akibatnya, Terry minta ditarik ke luar lapangan ketika laga memasuki jeda.

"Saya berharap setelah Piala Dunia selesai saya akan libur selama dua pekan dan (cedera) itu akan pergi. Tapi kenyataannya tidak begitu. Ketika saya kembali dan mulai berlatih, cedera itu kembali lagi," ujar Terry dikutip The Sun.

"Saya telah berusaha dan mungkin butuh istirahat selama 10 hari untuk benar-benar menyembuhkannya. Cedera ini bisa saja akan berdampak pada karir saya di musim ini," tuntas dia.

Umbro Unveil New England Home Kit For Euro 2012 – The Blue Shorts Are Back!
-whoateallthepies.tv-

http://www.whoateallthepies.tv/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/4945146273_671a903f48_b1.jpg

(Top row: Joe Hart, Adam Johnson, Eric Dier, Jade Bailey, Saido Berahino, Thomas Cruise; Bottom row: Jack Wilshere, Fern Whelan, Wayne Rooney, Connor Wickham, Theo Walcott)

Here’s a first view of England’s new Umbro home kit. As much as my gut reaction was to think “Another new kit? What’s wrong with the current ‘new’ one!”, I do rather like the look of this – not because of the grandad collar, which I’m not crazy about, but mainly for the bright blue shorts, which put me in mind of England’s snazzy Admiral kit at the 1982 World Cup. I was nine at the time, and I loved that kit.

England’s senior team will debut the kit against Bulgaria at Wembley this Friday. The shirt goes on sale on October 12th.

Crouch ruled out of Euro 2012 qualifiers
Soccernet - September 1, 2010

http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/images/2010/0901/petercrouchengland_275x155.jpg

Tottenham Hotspur striker Peter Crouch has withdrawn from the England squad with a back injury and will miss the Euro 2012 qualifiers against Bulgaria and Switzerland.

Crouch was called up by manager Fabio Capello despite concerns about what club boss Harry Redknapp initially thought was a rib problem. However, Capello included an extra striker in his initial 24-man squad as cover and will not call up a replacement.

As Fulham forward Bobby Zamora was ruled out prior to the squad being announced, it leaves Capello to choose from Wayne Rooney, Carlton Cole, Darren Bent and Jermain Defoe, who has recovered from a groin complaint, amongst his striking options.

The Football Association opted not to make any further injury announcements, although the fact Crouch is the only player being released and no call-ups have been requested must be viewed as good news given England only had one goalkeeper at training on Tuesday.

There is cover for Phil Jagielka, who also sat out training with an ankle problem which David Moyes revealed made him an extreme doubt following Everton's defeat at Aston Villa on Sunday.

Barry: Players have faith in Fabio
Soccernet - September 1, 2010

http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/images/2010/0618/garethbarry20100618_275x155.jpg

England midfielder Gareth Barry insists the players are fully behind manager Fabio Capello heading into their Euro 2012 qualifier against Bulgaria.

Capello was pilloried following England's disappointing World Cup this summer and only last week the UK's biggest selling tabloid depicted the England boss with donkey's ears alongside the headline 'Jackass'.

However, with England set to play their first competitive match since the World Cup debacle - against Bulgaria at Wembley on Friday - followed by another qualifier in Switzerland on Tuesday, Barry insists the squad are united.

"Everyone is right behind the manager," said Manchester City midfielder Barry. "I firmly believe the players and manager can go on and do great things. He is still the man to take England forward."

Although it has been suggested Capello is determined to adopt a less intense approach, Barry has not detected a notable change. The midfielder says the demand remains for England to play to their strengths, even if it was precisely that which led to such a let-down in the summer.

"I have not noticed anything different," he said. "He still wants us to play at a high tempo but the whole squad is pretty relaxed. Everything is pretty chilled there so there are not too many changes.

"We just want to get the results right. That is going to be what makes people happy."

But there have been some changes. The move to Friday night internationals means Under-21 coach Stuart Pearce is not around to exert his influence.

David James and Emile Heskey are notable omissions from the men who were on duty at the World Cup, their international careers finally over.

And, even though Jack Wilshere has been relegated back to the Under-21 fold, Arsenal team-mates Theo Walcott and Kieran Gibbs bring youth to the present set-up, as does Adam Johnson, who has been hugely impressive since swapping life in the Championship at Middlesbrough for a shot at glory alongside Barry at big-spending City.

"Adam could really make his mark," Barry said. "He joined us in the middle of last season, came into the team full of confidence and hasn't stopped since. He has kept improving with every game. The more he plays at this level, the better he will become."

After making his first start against Hungary, Johnson could well be asked to make his competitive bow on Friday, especially if Capello opts to select Wayne Rooney as a lone striker and utilise two wide men.

Walcott Siap Kembali Tampil Untuk Inggris

Bola.net - Theo Walcott menolak untuk menyalahkan siapa pun atas kegagalannya terbang ke Piala Dunia 2010 namun ia siap untuk kembali menghidupkan karir internasionalnya, dimulai dengan babak kualifikasi Euro 2012.

Winger muda Arsenal itu secara mengejutkan disingkirkan manajer Inggris Fabio Capello dari daftar 23 pemain yang dibawanya ke Afrika Selatan, namun seiring kegagalan Inggris di Piala Dunia tersebut Capello kembali memanggil pemain berusia 21 tahun itu.

Walcott melewati awal yang luar biasa musim ini bersama Arsenal - mencetak empat gol sejauh ini, dan ia diperkirakan akan menjadi starter saat The Three Lions menghadapi Bulgaria pada laga pembuka kualifikasi Euro 2012 di Wembley akhir pekan ini.

"Segalanya berjalan lancar sejauh ini. Saya melewati pra-musim yang amat bagus tanpa cedera dan saya juga mendapatkan libur yang menyenangkan di akhir musim jadi kaki saya harus tetap menginjak bumi," ujar Walcott.

"Saya tak tahu apakah absen di Piala Dunia memberikan saya dorongan. Itu satu dari sekian hal yang takkan pernah kita ketahui. Namun saya tak mau menyalahkan siapa pun, saya hanya melihat diri saya sendiri."

"Saya memang kecewa tak bisa ke sana, namun saya tak menyalahkan siapa pun; saya salahkan diri sendiri dan memastikan kalau hal itu takkan terulang lagi. Saya tak mau terlalu memikirkannya," imbuh Walcott.

"Saya mendapatkan liburan mental yang bagus karena Anda pasti ingin menghabiskan waktu dengan keluarga selama Anda bisa. Senang sekali bisa kembali ke timnas dan saya berharap biarkan sepak bola yang berbicara."

Walcott juga membantah kurangnya komunikasi Capello dengan para pemainnya menjadi masalah di skuad Inggris.

"Kami, para pemain, mendapatkan pesannya; kami selalu tahu apa yang dilakukan di atas lapangan. Kami harus tampil dan menunjukkan kalau pendapat orang itu salah. Kami ingin mencoba dan melakukannya untuk Capello," lanjut Walcott.

"Ia manajer kami dan ia mendapat kepercayaan kami semua. Perjalanan kualifikasi terakhir kami berlangsung amat mulus, kami memenangkan hampir setiap laga. Kami memiliki pemain baru dan saya pikir kami memiliki keseimbangan yang bagus antara pemain muda dengan yang berpengalaman." (afp/row)

Fabio Capello embarrassed as Fifa rule confirms Mikel Arteta's ineligibility to play for England
Mikel Arteta's dreams of playing for England are destined to end in disappointment.
By Telegraph staff and agencies
Published: 5:54PM BST 01 Sep 2010

Scouser or Spaniard? Everton's Mikel Arteta has said that he would consider playing for England should he be called upon Photo: PA

In recent weeks there has been a campaign growing around the Everton midfielder, who had been led to believe he would be eligible for England after completing five years residency in the United Kingdom.

Because Arteta has never played for Spain, it appeared he would be able to switch national allegiances once he had been granted UK citizenship.

Earlier this week, the Football Association stressed they had not been asked to investigate the matter by Fabio Capello, although it was thought the England coach had spoken briefly to Arteta, who was said to be enthusiastic about the prospect.

However, it now transpires Arteta is almost certainly not eligible at all.

"Under our understanding of Fifa rules the player is ineligible to play for England," an FA spokesman said.

While world governing body Fifa are anxious not to pre-judge any request from the FA, it has been pointed out the rules on previously appearing for national sides do not cover full internationals alone.

The little known Article 18.1.a within the Fifa statutes outlines that any player who has represented their country in an official competition, at whatever level, would at that time need to have held a passport for the country they later wish to play for in order to be permitted to make the switch.

In Arteta's case, because he played for Spain in the Under-16 European Championships and then in the Fifa World Championships at Under-17 level, the only way he could satisfy the current criteria is if he held a UK passport at the same time.

It hardly seems likely a 28-year-old from San Sebastian would have gained such a document over a decade ago, which means that even if an application to Fifa was made on the FA's behalf, it would automatically be rejected.

This news is bound to come as a blow to Arteta, and maybe even Capello.

However, it does save an awful lot of controversy, not least because Scotland boss Craig Levein recently pointed out a gentleman's agreement between the four Home Nations where they have all vowed not to exploit eligibility loopholes

Fabio's options
-skysports.com-

http://img.skysports.com/10/08/218x298/Tottenham-v-Man-City-Fabio-Capello_2487509.jpg

Sarah Winterburn takes a look at England coach Fabio Capello's options ahead of the Bulgaria game.

The biggest question is probably about the formation and we reckon he'll plump for a 4-2-3-1. But who will play at centre-half? And who will partner Gareth Barry in the middle?

THE FORMATION

Fabio Capello may have stuck gamely to a 4-4-2 throughout the World Cup (even when logic strongly suggested otherwise against Germany) but for the first post-tournament friendly against Hungary, Capello started and ended the game in a 4-2-3-1, with Steven Gerrard excelling in his role behind Wayne Rooney. There's no obvious candidate for the 'other striker' role in a 4-4-2 (particularly after the withdrawal of Peter Crouch) so we expect Capello to opt for a 4-2-3-1 with - get this - his star footballers playing in the positions they occupy for their clubs. Capello's preferred 4-4-2 formation got them to the World Cup but it also helped them out of the World Cup, so we expect the Italian to acknowledge that it is time for change.

THE CENTRE-BACKS

The goalkeeper and the full-backs pick themselves (prompting the question 'who the hell would play right-back if Johnson got injured?' with the slightly scary, likely answer being 'James Milner'), but the absence of both Rio Ferdinand and John Terry, as well as the re-retirement of Jamie Carragher, means that he has an issue at centre-half. The options read as Gary Cahill, Michael Dawson, Phil Jagielka, Joleon Lescott and Matthew Upson. As Cahill is yet to play for England, Lescott has started the season at left-back and Jagielka is a massive injury doubt, that probably leaves Dawson and Upson. The former looked jittery against Hungary and then in Tottenham's Champions League qualifier against Young Boys of Berne, but Jagielka's likely absence probably gives Capello no choice but to throw him in again. Matthew Upson will be seen as a relatively safe stop-gap until the old guard return and the new guard can be trusted.

THE CENTRE MIDFIELD

Gareth Barry is a shoo-in but his usual partner Frank Lampard has been sidelined, leaving Capello with two options: Michael Carrick or James Milner. The former has not played regular football since March because of rubbishness and the latter has not played that position for his club this season because he was bought by Manchester City primarily as a winger. Carrick's inclusion in the squad at all was something of a surprise considering his lack of form and Capello's usual lack of faith in his ability, with Tom Huddlestone unlucky to miss out. So Milner looks the more likely choice to replace Lampard, though memories linger of just how poor he performed in that position against Mexico ahead of the World Cup.

THE LEFT SIDE

Along with Joe Hart and Ashley Cole, Theo Walcott is arriving for England duty in phenomenal form and will surely start as the right-sided attacker in Capello's expected 4-2-3-1 formation. That his record for England reads P12 W12 is a welcome bonus. The other side of the pitch is slightly more contentious, as both Adam Johnson and Ashley Young impressed against Hungary. History suggests he will probably veer towards Johnson - who played 90 minutes of that game - ahead of Young, who played just 45 minutes. Capello has never seemed convinced by Young (he has started only one friendly against Holland) while Johnson has been named as 'one for the future' by Capello.

Likely team to face Hungary: Hart; G Johnson, Dawson, Upson, Cole; Barry, Milner; Walcott; Gerrard, A Johnson; Rooney.

England v Bulgaria: Preview
Soccernet - September 2, 2010, 7:33 PM GMT

Fabio Capello insists he is not nursing a sense of grievance that Chelsea duo John Terry and Frank Lampard have both pulled out of England's crucial Euro 2012 opener against Bulgaria tomorrow.

After his turbulent experience at the World Cup, England need to make a solid start to their qualification campaign in order to relieve the pressure on Capello, who is under scrutiny like never before.

Yet the Three Lions must face their immediate future without two of their most senior players.

In both instances, the players featured for their clubs on Saturday, Lampard missing a penalty and Terry completing the full 90 minutes of a home victory against Stoke.

But within hours, Chelsea were confirming the pair would miss England's first competitive international, Lampard to have a groin operation and Terry because of a hamstring injury and various other aches and pains.

As both men are expected to feature for their clubs when the domestic programme resumes later this month, it hardly suggests a huge level of commitment.

However, Capello insists in both instances, the course of action that has been taken makes perfect sense.

"We know Frank Lampard needs an operation to be ready for his club and the next game with us,'' outlined Capello.

"John Terry has been playing with an injection because all the other Chelsea defenders were injured.

"He told us he had to stay at home because he cannot play all the games.

"At half-time in the game against Hungary he said he couldn't carry on.

"He was with us then. Now he needs to relax in order to be fit for the next games.''

James Milner will fill Lampard's midfield vacancy while Phil Jagielka's timely return to training this morning after he recovered from an ankle injury sustained in Everton's Premier League defeat at Aston Villa on Sunday means Capello has a ready-made replacement for Terry.

The loss of Scott Carson to a family bereavement should not cause too many headaches given Joe Hart had already been earmarked for the goalkeeping slot.

Although they can no longer count on the services of their most talented player, Dimitar Berbatov, Bulgaria are a decent team and, in Martin Petrov, have a player of extreme pace operating on the left flank who has caused a succession of Premier League defences some problems.

Bulgaria coach Stanimir Stoilov has called for referee Viktor Kassai to protect his players should England striker Wayne Rooney lose his cool at Wembley tomorrow.

Stoilov insists his players will not try to wind up Rooney as he looks to make amends for a disappointing World Cup in which he failed to score in four matches.

But he wants the Hungarian official to ensure Rooney is made to toe the line should nerves get the better of him in his desire to win over the England fans.

The Manchester United star was subject to boos from some sections of fans during last month's friendly international with Hungary.

Stoilov said: "Rooney has great skills. I have to teach my players how to stop him on the pitch, not how to provoke him.

"That is not the style of the Bulgarian national team who have come over here to play fairly.

"But if Rooney is nervous because of his lack of goals, he should be punished if he is too aggressive.''

As regards his team's tactics, Stoilov said: "We are not coming to Wembley just to defend.

"In a game like this, a win for us would be the perfect result but we hope not to lose.

"We have to fight to achieve that goal but we will try to play football and, in a game like this, you never know.''

Defoe Hat-trick, Inggris Pukul Bulgaria
Arya Perdhana - detiksport

London - Jermain Defoe menjadi pahlawan Inggris di laga pertama kualifikasi Piala Eropa 2012 mereka. Tiga gol striker Tottenham Hotspur itu mengantar Inggris melipat Bulgaria 4-0.

Di bawah tatapan mata para pendukungnya di Stadion Wembley, Sabtu (4/9/2010) dinihari WIB, Inggris mencoba menemukan penampilan terbaik mereka setelah hancur-hancuran di Piala Dunia 2010.

Hasilnya, Defoe menjadi pemain paling mencorong dalam laga itu dengan gol-gol yang ia cetak di menit ketiga, ke-61 dan 86. Satu gol tambahan The Three Lions disumbangkan Adam Johnson.

Dengan hasil ini, Inggris untuk sementara memuncaki klasemen kualifikasi Euro 2012 Grup G dengan nilai tiga. Mereka unggul selisih gol atas Montenegro yang mengalahkan Wales 1-0.

Jalannya pertandingan
Baru tiga menit laga berjalan, Defoe membuka rekening golnya. Dari umpan Ashley Cole, bola disikat dengan sepakan kaki kiri oleh Defoe dan tak mampu ditahan kiper Nikolay Mihailov.

Meski menguasai pertandingan, Inggris gagal menambah gol di babak pertama. Cuma peluang dari James Milner di menit 40 yang ditepis Mihailov yang menjadi peluang emas Inggris.

Empat menit babak kedua berjalan, Wayne Rooney nyaris mencetak gol kedua Inggris. Namun sepakan cungkil striker Manchester United itu ditepis Mihailov ke udara dan selamatlah gawang Bulgaria.

Bulgaria bukannya tanpa peluang. Di menti 53, sebuah sepakan dari Ivelin Popov gagal menemui sasaran karena menyamping dengan diiringi aksi melompat dari kiper Inggris, Joe Hart.

Inggris akhirnya menggandakan keunggulannya jadi 2-0 di menit 61. Dari sebuah serangan balik, umpan terobosan Rooney dituntaskan dengan sepakan kaki kiri Defoe untuk jadi gol.

Menit 65, Bulgaria hampir saja mencetak gol balasan. Kali ini, dalam aksi satu lawan satu, Hart dengan jitu menepis sepakan Popov. Bola muntah disepak Martin Petrov, tapi diblok dengan kepala oleh Phil Jagielka.

Defoe sudah sangat dekat dengan hattrick di menit 75 ketika sepakan Steven Gerrard gagal diamankan dengan sempurna oleh Mihailov. Namun sebelum bola muntah direbut Defoe, Mihailov membuang bola jauh-jauh dengan tangannya.

Inggris menjadikan skor 3-0 di menit 83. Kali ini, sepakan Johnson dari area sekitar luar kotak penalti menembus gawang Bulgaria tanpa bisa ditepis oleh Mihailov.

Lima menit sebelum pertandingan berakhir, Inggris menggenapkan kemenangannya jadi 4-0 lewat gol ketiga Defoe. Umpan Rooney kembali memanjakan Defoe yang dengan sekali tendang sukses menjebol gawang Bulgaria.

Susunan pemain
Inggris: Hart; Johnson, Jagielka, Dawson (Cahill 56), A. Cole; Walcott (Johnson 74), Gerrard, Barry, Milner; Defoe (A. Young 87), Rooney

Bulgaria: Mihailov; Stoyanov, Milanov, Ivanov, S Manolev (Minev 66); S. Petrov, M. Petrov Angelov, Yankov; Bojinov (Rangelov 63), Popov (Peev 79)

Joe Hart Akui Curi Teknik Kasper Schmeichel

Bola.net - Setelah berhasil menjaga clean sheet sebagai kiper Inggris, Joe Hart senang dengan penampilannya.

"Saya merasa nyaman saat ini," katanya kepada BBC Sport.

"Saya berusaha untuk terus menjaga momentum ini tapi ada begitu banyak yang harus saya perbaiki."

Kiper muda itu tidak memiliki malam yang sibuk di Wembley, tetapi dia dipaksa melakukan beberapa penyelamatan penting pada babak kedua.

"Saya mencoba untuk tampil dewasa," tambahnya, "Saya mencurinya (teknik itu) dari Kasper Schmeichel, yang bekerja sama dengan saya meski tidak begitu lama dan itu berhasil untuk saat ini."

Dan dengan pertandingan Inggris berikutnya sudah dekat, Hart langsung fokus untuk pertandingan pada Selasa malam.

"Bagus bisa menang tapi sekarang sudah berlalu. Kami akan memulai lagi pada hari Selasa lawan Swiss." (goal/cax)

City Save England
September 7th 2010 by Sam Wheatley

The major headline tonight was always going to be how Wayne Rooney coped with the revelation of his alleged illicit contact contact with ladies of the night. The truth was revealed, and the truth seems to be that Rooney is relieved. But that aside, Manchester City deserve a special mention for aiding England’s cause.

Capello’s men started brightly, using the customary English style of pressing and attacking through direct means. Wayne Rooney was vital to inducing this high-tempo performance, along with the notable contributions of full-backs Glen Johnson and Ashley Cole. Only woeful finishing got Switzerland off the hook on more than one occasion.

Jermaine Defoe’s usual hesitancy and stark lack of footballing intelligence, if such a term exists, returned to cast doubt over the authenticity of his three-goal performance against Bulgaria on Friday. Glen Johnson and Theo Walcott combined to release the right-back, whose square ball found Defoe only for the Spurs striker to smash over from eight yards. Defoe, for me, is always a yard too quick or a yard too slow.

In possibly the tabloid press’ finest hour, Wayne Rooney broke the deadlock after more good work from Glen Johnson. 967 minutes were stopped dead as Rooney swept in a low cross from the Liverpool man to break the deadlock. The freedom afforded Rooney by the removal of a dark secret was simple to read. Rooney’s no stranger to abuse – the man demands more from himself than any England fan. It’s possible that the media has for once done him a favour by releasing him from the clutches of personal trauma, and it showed on his face.

Theo Walcott was injured into the build-up to the goal and was reportedly rushed to hospital for an X-ray. Brought on his place was Adam Johnson. That made the Manchester City contingent of England’s side five, with Joe Hart, Joleon Lescott, Gareth Barry and James Milner all on the field already. Barry did concede a free-kick which became England’s biggest cause for concern for the first half, but the cross found Young Boys’ David Degen, who shinned it woefully over the bar at the far post.

Whilst Alexander Frei, for all of the hyperbole, was utterly rubbish, one Swiss that did impress was Diego Benaglio. The ‘keeper made two decent saves, one each side of half time, to deny Jermaine Defoe and Glen Johnson respectively. His opposite number, Joe Hart, was naturally in fine form. The continued graduation to international class becomes ever more impressive. Seemingly unflappable, Hart makes solid stops, good decisions and distributes well.

Stefan Lichsteiner was dismissed on 64 minutes for a second bookable offence, and five minutes later Adam Johnson scored after being put through by Steven Gerrard. Whilst I find an enormous irony to England’s only left-footed winger being better deployed on the right, he provides an interesting contrast to Theo Walcott. For Walcott’s directness and pace, Johnson is methodical, technically gifted and most of all, observant. Walcott’s three weird chipped crosses against Bulgaria, for example, would not be perpetrated by Adam Johnson. He deserved his goal.

On 70 minutes though, Hart was beaten by an absolute screamer from Shaqiri after Switzerland had been galvanised by the goal and being to down to ten men. The net scarcely rippled, such was the force of the shot that whistled in from outside the area. The former Shrewsbury Town man Hart could have done little about that one. Whilst Lescott, Hart and Barry were solid, Milner and Johnson were proving influential in the final third. City’s contingent was then again boosted by the introduction of Shaun Wright-Phillips, making it six City players to have appeared for England in that game.

By roughly the 79th minute the game had begun to fade away, but it didn’t stop Ashley Cole from feeding Darren Bent for the Sunderland man to finish with aplomb, making it 3-1. In my opinion, Bent deserves it for the work he puts in. Whilst he has never looked an international striker to me, there may be some fight in the lad to prove his doubters (me obviously included) wrong.

Ultimately, a 3-1 victory for England owes much to Manchester City’s investment in players that, when purchased, were not England regulars but have developed to become vital for club and country. They, in turn, have Aston Villa to thank for Gareth Barry and James Milner, but there seems to be something of a buzz about Eastlands these days and it showed in those that pulled on an England shirt. Perhaps some thanks ought to go out too to the tabloid press for releasing Wayne Rooney from his demons. The manacles are off, and it shows.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger facing anxious wait over Theo Walcott's ankle injury
-dailymail.co.uk-

Arsenal's medical team will today assess the extent of Theo Walcott's ankle injury, which could sideline the England winger for the rest of the month.

Walcott had been in decent form for the Gunners, scoring four goals in three games before the international break.

However, the 21-year-old - recalled by Fabio Capello after being omitted from his ill-fated World Cup squad - was taken to hospital last night for precautionary X-rays after turning his ankle in the build-up to Wayne Rooney's opening goal in the 3-1 win over Switzerland in Basle.

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2010/09/08/article-0-0B13F350000005DC-701_468x309.jpg
Waiting game: Theo Walcott is facing a spell on the sidelines

Initial fears of a break were dispelled by Capello after the match, suggesting the player felt the injury was 'not a big problem'.

However, even if it is just a bad sprain with no torn ligaments, then Walcott - who has a history of niggling injury setbacks - is almost certain to miss Saturday's Barclays Premier League visit of Bolton as well as the Champions League opener against Braga.

Walcott would be unlikely to be risked in the Carling Cup clash at rivals Tottenham, and may have to sit out the trip to Partizan Belgrade - but if all goes well could be fully match fit in time to face title rivals Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on October 3.

Initial fears: Walcott's England team-mates feared the worst

The loss of Walcott is another blow to Gunners manager Arsene Wenger, who has seen Holland striker Robin van Persie sidelined until the middle of next month with an ankle problem.

With Nicklas Bendtner also unavailable because of a groin injury, summer signing Marouane Chamakh looks set to lead the line for the next few weeks.

Midfielder Samir Nasri is recovering well from knee surgery, while defender Sebastien Squillaci made his first appearance for Arsenal following a move from Sevilla in the reserves' win over Blackburn at Underhill and could make his Premier League debut this weekend.

Reasons for optimism
Skysports.com looks at the positives after England's Euro 2012 qualifying victory in Switzerland, 7th September 2010

http://img.skysports.com/10/09/218x298/Wayne-Rooney_2499586.jpg

Two wins. Seven goals. Six points out of six. Top of the table. And the inevitable Wayne Rooney goal to write another rain forest of headlines, this time of the positive kind.

That will do for starters in England's European Championship qualifying campaign.

It does not quite tell the whole story because Switzerland were at times abject in their 3-1 defeat in Basel. Almost as inept as Bulgaria last Friday at Wembley when England smashed four without reply.

But, as the saying goes, you can only beat the opposition put in front of you and it would be churlish to deny England manager Fabio Capello any of the credit for a performance which, for long periods, was back to the dominance of those nine victories in qualifying for the World Cup.

The passing was crisp and precise. Players in white shirts actually passed the ball to other players in white shirts, which was not always the case in South Africa.

There was movement and flexibility, too, plus a willingness to work hard, pressing and harrying.

And, of course, there was Rooney showing a remarkable capacity to concentrate in the public glare when all the talk was of his alleged private shenanigans.

Not that Rooney was England's star man. Not this night. That accolade, until he limped off midway through the second half, was Jermain Defoe, the hat-trick hero of Wembley showing again that he can lead an international strike force despite his lack of inches.
Rooney freedom

That is key for Capello because it allows Rooney to slot into that slightly withdrawn role. Allows England's most creative player time and space to pick out a pass or to turn and shoot.

In short it gives Rooney freedom, the sort he used to get into the six-yard box for the most straightforward of opening goals.

Theo Walcott showed his strength on the ball before feeding it to Glen Johnson down the right and when the cross was whipped in there was Rooney to slide the ball home from close range.

It was no more than a tap-in, but Rooney will not forget it in a hurry. Not just because it came in a week in which the Manchester United star has hit the front pages, more the fact that it was his first international goal in 12 matches and 12 months.

That is an age for a player of Rooney's quality.

Pride

Yet it was not just Rooney and Defoe who impressed. There were England players all over the pitch who appeared to be putting in the sort of shift necessary to restore pride and confidence after the World Cup debacle.

Men such as Gareth Barry and James Milner, the latter whose name has become synonymous with industry in a white shirt.

Ashley Cole and Glen Johnson surged down the flanks, Steven Gerrard was the pivot in central midfield, Joleon Lescott and Phil Jagielka were solid in central defence. Accomplished and assured.

And Adam Johnson, who came on after 10 minutes when the unfortunate Walcott was injured, proved that England have a real talent, rounding the Swiss goalkeeper with aplomb for England's second goal.

True, England had a few hairy moments in a second half in which Switzerland's Stephan Lichtsteiner was sent off for a foul on Milner and in which Switzerland teenager Xherdan Shaqiri demonstrated his precocious talent with a 25-yard swerving shot which fairly shot past goalkeeper Joe Hart.

But substitute Darren Bent, having replaced Rooney, eased the pressure, drilling home the third late on.

It brought a rare smile to the face of Capello. No-one could say he had not earned it.

Suksesor Capello Harus Orang Inggris

LONDON - Fabio Capello sudah bertekad menanggalkan jabatannya sebagai pelatih Timnas Inggris. Menurut Harry Redknapp, suksesor pelatih asal Italia harus orang pribumi.

Ya, Capello sudah menyatakan kesanggupan mendampingi Iggris hingga 2012, tepatnya setelah gelaran Euro di Polandia dan Ukraina. Tentunya, Asosiasi Sepakbola (FA) Inggris perlu bersiap mencari penggantinya.

Redknapp menilai, suksesor Capello harus berkebangsaan Inggris. Menurut pelatih Tottenham Hotspur, tak sedikit sosok pribumi yang mampu mengemban tugas sebagai arsitek The Three Lions.

“Saya lebih suka melihat pria Inggris yang menjadi pelatih, saat Capello memutuskan berhenti,” cetus Redknapp, seperti dilansir Tribalfootball, Jumat (10/9/2010).

“Ya, banyak sekali pelatih yang ada di luar sana. Contohnya saja Steve Bruce,” tandasnya, seraya menyebut nama pelatih Sunderland.

“Mereka pasti akan melaksanakan tugas dengan baik dan cerdas, sepanjang diberi kesempatan. Saya sangat meyakini itu. saat ini, Capello memang pelatih hebat. Jika Anda melihat perjalanan kariernya, dia pelatih kelas atas.”

“Tapi, sejauh ini belum berjalan dengan baik terutama di Piala Dunia. Saya ingin melihat seorang pria Inggris yang menggantikannya,” tutup pelatih kelahiran London, 63 tahun silam. (far)

Beckham Ogah Duduki Kursi Capello

LONDON - Timnas Inggris tengah mencari sosok pelatih tangguh untuk menggantikan Fabio Capello yang akan mundur usai perhelatan Euro 2012 nanti. Namun, tampaknya David Beckham tak tertarik melanjutkan kinerja Capello mengemban tanggung jawab itu.

Diketahui, Capello memang telah menyatakan bakal mundur usai mengantar The Three Lions berjuang di Euro 2012 (jika lolos kualifikasi). Mundurnya Capello pun sontak memunculkan sejumlah spekulasi terkait calon suksesornya.

Beckham, yang telah memegang 115 caps bersama timnas dan dikenal merupakan salah satu pemain yang paling mengenal karakter permainan Inggris disebut-sebut menjadi kandidat kuat pengganti Capello. Sayang, isu ini langsung sirna setelah Becks menegaskan bila dirinya belum siap untuk beralih profesi menjadi arsitek tim.

“Saya tak bertaruh untuk itu (jadi pelatih Inggris),” papar Beckham seperti dikutip Sky Sports, Sabtu (11/9/2010).

Lebih lanjut, Becks memberikan apresiasi khusus kepada Capello kendati gagal mengantar John Terry dkk berprestasi di Piala Dunia 2010 kemarin. Gelandang veteran 35 tahun ini berharap, mantan mentornya di Real Madrid bisa memberikan kado perpisahan manis dengan membawa Inggris berjaya di Ukraina-Polandia (tuan rumah Euro 2012).

“Pelatih (Capello) sudah menangani tim ini sejak beberapa tahun lalu dan kini dia merasa, ini adalah waktu yang tepat untuk meletakkan jabatannya,” tambah punggawa LA Galaxy ini.

“Saya sangat berharap Capello bisa mengakhiri masa baktinya dengan memberikan gelar juara,” tandas pemain yang gagal tampil di Piala Dunia 2010 lantaran dibekap cedera tendon achilles. (acf)

Rooney to miss England's Montenegro clash
ESPNsoccernet - September 28, 2010

England have been dealt another injury blow with Wayne Rooney set to miss the next three weeks with an ankle injury.

Rooney has not travelled to Valencia for Manchester United's Champions League game on Wednesday and manager Sir Alex Ferguson confirmed that the striker will almost certainly miss England's game with Montenegro in two weeks' time.

''It will be two to three weeks,'' said Ferguson. ''But it depends because Wayne has done quite well with his recovery from injury in the past. It is a straightforward ankle injury. And it is not the same one he did in Munich. Nobody likes to be injured but he is. There is nothing you can do about it.''

England will already be without Tottenham striker Jermain Defoe, Fulham's Bobby Zamora and Arsenal's Theo Walcott, while Fabio Capello must also cope without midfielders James Milner and Frank Lampard.

ENGLAND SQUAD
Davies lands shock England call up, Green returns
ESPNsoccernet - October 4, 2010

http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/images/2010/1004/kevindaviesclap20101004_275x155.jpg

Bolton striker Kevin Davies has won his first ever international call-up for England, with Robert Green returning to the fold after his World Cup disaster and Jack Wilshere also included for the Euro 2012 qualifier against Montenegro.

Rio Ferdinand has been selected for the first time since a knee injury forced him to miss the World Cup finals, meaning Fabio Capello must decide whether to reinstate the Manchester United defender as captain, or retain Steven Gerrard in the role.

Aston Villa defender Stephen Warnock is included as Arsenal defender Kieran Gibbs, named in Stuart Pearce's Under-21 squad, has been struggling with injury. Gibbs' club team-mate Wilshere, 18, was also named in the Under-21 squad but has been rewarded for starting eight of Arsenal's ten games this season and impressing under Arsene Wenger.

The midfielder became the tenth youngest player to represent England when appearing as a substitute against Hungary at Wembley in August, but was dropped for the opening two games of the qualifying campaign.

However, the headline news is undoubtedly the recognition of Davies, who at the age of 33 had previously admitted that he longer viewed an international call-up as a possibility.

"I was in the expanded squad a couple of times but even when a few players pulled out and I thought I had a chance, someone else got called up," he told ESPN.

But with injuries ruling out Bobby Zamora and Jermain Defoe andEmile Heskey refusing an international recall having announced his retirement, Davies will now be in contention with Darren Bent and Peter Crouch for a place in the starting line-up alongside Wayne Rooney when Montenegro come to Wembley on Tuesday, October 12.

England and Montenegro are joint top of Group G after collecting six points from two games; the Three Lions defeated Bulgaria 4-0 and Switzerland 3-1, while their opponents next week beat Wales and Bulgaria by 1-0 margins.

Full England squad to face Montenegro: Foster (Birmingham City), Green (West Ham United), Hart (Manchester City); A Cole (Chelsea), Jagielka (Everton), G Johnson (Liverpool), Ferdinand (Manchester United), Lescott (Manchester City), Terry (Chelsea), Warnock (Aston Villa); Barry (Manchester City), J Cole (Liverpool), Gerrard (Liverpool), Huddlestone (Tottenham Hotspur), A Johnson (Manchester City), Lennon (Tottenham Hotspur), Wilshere (Arsenal), Wright-Phillips (Manchester City), Young (Aston Villa); Bent (Sunderland), Crouch (Tottenham Hotspur), Davies (Bolton Wanderers), Rooney (Manchester United).

Rio Ferdinand set to start for England after Phil Jagielka pulls out
guardian.co.uk, Simon Burnton - Friday 8 October 2010 21.34 BST

http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Sport/Pix/pictures/2010/10/8/1286569091309/Rio-Ferdinand-006.jpg

Rio Ferdinand is set to partner John Terry at the heart of England's central defence for the first time since May after Phil Jagielka, his chief rival for a place in the starting line-up to play Montenegro on Tuesday, suffered a hamstring injury in training this morning.

Jagielka's impressive performances in the victories over Bulgaria and Switzerland last month had put him in contention for a place in the starting line-up even with England's long-standing first-choice defensive pairing both available for selection. But the 28-year-old was forced to miss a training game at Arsenal's London Colney complex this morning after experiencing some tightness in his hamstring during the session beforehand. He was sent back to Everton this afternoon, shortly after a scan confirmed the injury was serious enough to rule him out of Tuesday night's European Championship qualifier at Wembley. Tonight his club said they did not yet know if the injury would keep him out of their next match, the Merseyside derby against Liverpool at Goodison Park next Sunday.

Bolton's Gary Cahill, who made his senior international debut as a second-half substitute in the 4-0 win over Bulgaria, has replaced Jagielka in the squad. Gareth Barry also arrived at the team hotel last night, having been given additional time at home for personal reasons.

Ferdinand has not played for England since injuring an ankle under Emile Heskey's challenge during a pre-World Cup training session in June. He remains the national team's official captain and Steven Gerrard has deputised in his absence. The England manager, Fabio Capello, having been spared one difficult decision, must now decide who should wear the armband on Tuesday night.

In August Capello insisted Ferdinand would resume the captaincy when he returned to the side: "Rio will be fit, we hope shortly, and he will be captain," he said. "If Rio is not fit, Gerrard will be captain." But the Italian's position on the issue no longer appears so clear.

Already this season Ferdinand has lost the captaincy of Manchester United to Nemanja Vidic, preferred by Sir Alex Ferguson "because he has been available all the time". Last week Capello refused to be drawn on the issue. He did however say he had been impressed by Gerrard's leadership of the England side and he backed Ferguson's decision, saying: "Sir Alex decided that the captain needs to be someone he is sure will be fit for most of the games. That is important for all players but especially for a captain."

In the last year Gerrard has played in 11 of England's 13 games, starting eight of them as captain. In the same time Ferdinand has made four starts, and captained the side once. He started 12 of United's 38 league games last season as a succession of back and knee injuries kept him out of the side for long periods, and has appeared in one of seven so far this term.

FA wind back fat contracts for future England coaches
09.10.10 | tribalfootball.com

The English FA have decided to end the policy of fat contracts for the national team coach.

Fabio Capello is creaming £24million for his four years in charge.

But the next Three Lions boss will only be handed a TWO-YEAR deal and earn considerably less money.

A senior FA source told The Sun: "England's a prestigious job and will always command a good salary.

"But Capello earns far more than most Premier League bosses and is the highest-paid coach in international football by miles.

"He earns more than Spain's Vicente del Bosque, who won the World Cup.

"Holland, Brazil, Germany, Argentina, France and Italy all pay much less. People have started to wake up to smell the coffee. Everyone agrees Capello's deal was over the top and the harsh truth is the extra outlay has not brought the results expected.

"The other problem is the length of the contract. Four years is far too long. The natural cycle in international football is two years. Two years to a World Cup, two years to a European Championship.

"It makes sense for deals to be two years so they can be reviewed after each tournament.

"If the coach and the team have done well then it can be renewed, if the coach and team have failed it's goodbye and NO compensation."

Lennon ruled out of England game, Downing in

Soccernet - October 9, 2010

http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/images/2010/0928/aaronlennon_275x155.jpg

Aaron Lennon has been ruled out of England's important Euro 2012 qualifier against Montenegro on Tuesday and replaced in the squad by Aston Villa's Stewart Downing.

Lennon has returned to Tottenham Hotspur for treatment on a sore back which further hits Fabio Capello's options on the flanks with James Milner serving a one-match suspension. Downing, Adam Johnson, Shaun Wright-Phillips, Joe Cole and Ashley Young will battle it out to start the game.

The winger was forced to sit out training on Friday and after further tests it was decided that he would not recover in time for the match.

Montenegro took charge of the group on Friday night with a 1-0 win at home to Switzerland, their third one-goal success in as many games, and will travel to Wembley full of confidence. That result also means the Swiss are very much up against it to try and make it to Ukraine and Poland after they lost at home to England last month.

It will be the first ever meeting between England and Montenegro, who are in only their second qualifying campaign since splitting from Serbia.

Their current form is in stark contrast to their bid to qualify for the 2010 World Cup, when they won just one of ten matches - that being at home to Georgia - and scored nine goals.

Downing won the last of his 23 caps against Slovakia in March 2009, since when his career was put on hold by a foot injury that ruled him out for six months. After making the squad for England's friendly win over Egypt in March this year, he did not even make it into the Italian's 30-man provisional party.

England v Montenegro: we do not fear Wayne Rooney or his team says defender
Wayne Rooney’s dramatic decline was laid bare on Saturday night, after Montenegro defender Miodrag Dzudovic claimed the striker’s recent turmoil had left England “beatable” in Tuesday’s Euro 2012 qualifier at Wembley.

By Jonathan Wilson in Montenegro
Published: 10:00PM BST 09 Oct 2010

Montenegro travel to London top of qualifying group G and boasting a perfect record in their three games, having beaten Switzerland 1-0 on Friday to push England into second place.

Zlatko Kranjcar’s team are still considered underdogs as they seek their first win against England, but Dzudovic insists Rooney’s slump means they have nothing to fear.

“We respect England, but we can beat England,” he said. “We don’t fear them and we don’t fear Rooney. We know who Rooney is, and he is one of the best players, not just in Europe but in the world.

“But we know he has not been playing well for many games, and that gives us more hope. And in football everything is possible.

“We can go to England as a better team and with belief. Stopping Rooney and everybody else in the England team is not just about me but about the whole team.

“We must defend as a team, control the middle third and if we show enough quality as a team, we can beat England. But even one point would be a dream for us.”

Meanwhile, Darren Bent has revealed his anguish at being dropped from Fabio Capello’s World Cup squad, but claims it has helped spur him to win his place back.

“Your anger, frustration and your hurt – you have to try to put that all behind you and move on,” said Bent, who is expected to start on Tuesday up front with Rooney.

“It was a blow but I had missed out four years earlier [for Germany 2006], so I knew how to deal with it. It did hurt like hell, but I had to move on and deal with it.”

Capello will almost certainly start with Adam Johnson on England’s right flank, after Aaron Lennon was forced to pull out of the squad due to a back injury.Aston Villa winger Stewart Downing has been called up to replace Lennon.

Capello will decide who will captain the side on Sunday. Liverpool’s Steven Gerrard is the incumbent, having led the team at the World Cup and in every game since then, but the Italian looks likely to decide to hand the armband back to his first-choice skipper Rio Ferdinand, who is fit again after a knee injury.

John Terry out of England squad with back injury
ESPNsoccernet, Harry Harris - October 10, 2010

Chelsea defender John Terry will not play for England against Montenegro in the Euro 2012 qualifier on Tuesday night, after he withdrew from the squad with a back injury.

ESPNsoccernet was told: "It happened on Friday when he jumped to head the ball and when he came down he had a problem with his back. We thought we would be able to sort it out, but now it is serious enough for us because he would be unable to train tomorrow (Monday) as the back has stiffened."

The Football Association confirmed that the defender will miss the game, as a statement on their official website revealed: ''John Terry has returned to Chelsea this evening with a back injury. Terry was assessed by England medical staff on Sunday and will not be fit to play any part in Tuesday's game against Montenegro. No further call-ups will be made at this time.''

Terry is the third player to withdraw from Fabio Capello's squad in as many days following the previous departures of Phil Jagielka and Aaron Lennon.

He is also the most significant given the Chelsea skipper was virtually certain to face the Eastern Europeans, who have won all three matches so far and head to Wembley at the top of Group G.

Instead, Capello will rely on fit-again Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand and he must choose between Bolton's Gary Cahill - who was called up to the squad to replace Jagielka - and Manchester City's Joleon Lescott to partner him.

Bent relishing newfound Capello confidence
Soccernet - October 10, 2010

Darren Bent is confident he can make giant strides on the international stage now the uncertainty over his place in Fabio Capello's England plans has been brought to an end.

Few Three Lions players are selected quite as inconsistently as Bent has been since he first received a call-up from Sven-Goran Eriksson for the stuffing by Denmark in Copenhagen five years ago.

The 26-year-old's presence in Capello's squad for the Euro 2012 qualifier with Montenegro on Tuesday represents only the third time Bent has appeared on three successive occasions.

Should he win his eighth cap - and make his first competitive start - at Wembley next week, it would break new ground as Bent would be appearing in back-to-back England matches for the first time. Considering Bent has scored 78 Premier League goals since that initial call, it seems a rather difficult statistic to understand.

However, after claiming earlier this week Bent is "one of the important players for the future'', Capello has put the striker's mind at ease. And, after getting his first England goal in Switzerland last month, the Sunderland marksman is eager to grab a few more.

"It is hard when you are in and out of the squad,'' he said. "For 90% of the players, they know they are going to be in it before it is announced, so they can prepare. I can't really do too much. I have been in limbo really.''

Capello's previous selections have given the impression he is not much of a Bent fan. Certainly there has been nothing to suggest this week's enhancement of the Londoner's position was coming, having dumped the forward from his provisional World Cup squad after an ineffective performance against Japan in May. Bent's instant reaction was to take himself off to the United States, where he was spotted at an NBA game. A rather more measured approach has brought further improvement.

"I've had the best year of my life to put myself in this position and I started well this season,'' he said. "It does seem that I need to be scoring a lot of goals to be selected but I wouldn't have it any other way. It is nice to have something driving you. If I have to keep scoring goals that is fine.''

There must also be a certain amount of respect for Bent's mental fortitude. He was tipped as an outside bet to make Eriksson's squad for Germany in 2006. Missing out on that occasion was not too dispiriting given how recently he had broken onto the international scene. Four years on, after scoring so many goals, his 25 being more than any other English player with the exception of Wayne Rooney, the pain of rejection was far more acute.

"I remember sitting in the dressing room after I had come off at half-time against Japan, with the game going on outside, thinking what could I have done better,'' he said. "That game was a bit like a trial. After the squad had been announced, and I wasn't in it, I went back to my mum's house and spent a lot of time with my family and close friends. There was not much I could do to vent my anger and frustration at not going to a World Cup. It was a blow but missing out four years earlier helped me. It hurt like hell but I half knew how to deal with it.''

Bent returned with a mental clarity that is typical of him in times of trouble. A regular goalscorer for Ipswich and Charlton, he endured a miserable two years at Tottenham, eventually pleading, in a non-too-subtle Twitter message to chairman Daniel Levy, to be allowed to leave for Sunderland. To an outsider, it seemed like a backward step. To Bent the move to Wearside was of the forward variety.

"Harry Redknapp had a way of playing and I didn't fit into those plans. I don't hold that against him,'' he said. "But I was getting 10 minutes here and there. I thought my game was better than that. Sunderland are a massive club. Steve Bruce gave me the opportunity to play every week and last season I showed I was better than just sitting on the bench. I am playing the best football of my life right now. I am very happy and hopefully I will be there for a while.''

welcome back captain RIO ... :peace:

'Fed up' Fabio returns captaincy to Ferdinand
Soccernet, Harry Harris - October 11, 2010

England defender Rio Ferdinand will return against Montenegro on Tuesday night following the back injury to John Terry and is expected to resume the captaincy, but ESPNsoccernet understands Fabio Capello does not want to make a significant issue of the matter.

Ferdinand was made England skipper in February when Terry was stripped of the armband, but injury ruled the Manchester United defender out of the World Cup and Steven Gerrard took over as leader.

The uncertainty over Ferdinand's long-term injuries at club level means United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has now made Nemanja Vidic skipper and the centre-back's role with England has come under scrutiny for the same reason.

Capello knows that the captaincy is a big issue with the media, but it is not of such importance to him, and the England manager has become a touch irritated by the focus of attention on this issue.

An England insider told ESPNsoccernet: "I know there is a huge debate about who will be captain, and I will be honest with you, we are fed up with it, as it is not such a big issue for Fabio. It is more an issue for the media."

Gerrard retained the armband for England's opening Euro 2012 qualifiers against Bulgaria and Switzerland but will now hand it back to Ferdinand, who will make his first start since May 30 against Japan.

Ferdinand is expected to partner Joleon Lescott in the heart of the England defence against Montenegro on Tuesday night.

Jelang England vs Montenegro
Vucinic: Montenegro ready to shock England
ESPNsoccernet - October 11, 2010

Montenegro striker Mirko Vucinic is "super confident" that his side can beat England in their Euro 2012 qualifier at Wembley on Tuesday night.

Vucinic, who was booked for celebrating his winner against Switzerland on Saturday by putting his shorts on his head, has vowed to repeat the celebration if he scores in a shock win over Fabio Capello's side.

Montenegro head into Tuesday's match top of Group G having won all three of their qualifiers, but England have a game in hand.

"What we have achieved in the group so far is incredible," Vucinic said in The Sun. "After the draw was made, nobody would believe we could arrive at Wembley with nine points, but we believe that we can beat England and that would be a stunning result all over Europe.

"But with the way we have started, I think we can win the game. If so we will then be in control of the qualifying campaign and England will be scrabbling around for points.

"England are massive favourites but we are super confident that we can win. We are a young side with a lot of ambition and we are not troubled by failure.

"That is what the England team have to deal with. The whole of Montenegro will go mad if we win the game."

And the 27-year-old Roma striker, who has been linked with a move to the Premier League, will risk picking up another booking for his crazy shorts-on-head celebration if he scores.

"I was not being disrespectful with the way I celebrated against Switzerland. Every player has his own style.

"If I score the winning goal I will not be able to resist producing the same goal celebration. This is an historic game in our country with the biggest TV audience ever."

Bent blow for England
ESPNsoccernet - October 11, 2010

Sunderland striker Darren Bent has been ruled out of England's Euro 2012 qualifier against Montenegro after suffering a groin injury in training Monday.

Bent, who scored his first England goal against Switzerland last month, had been tipped to start alongside Manchester United's Wayne Rooney but Tottenham Hotspur striker Peter Crouch will now get the nod.

England manager Fabio Capello said: "Darren Bent is out, he can't play. He suffered a little pain. It is hard on him after scoring the goal against Switzerland but this is the situation and I will play Crouch.'

"Rooney will play. He is feeling good. I spoke with Wayne and he told me his ankle is okay. He trained fantastically and without pain. He is in a good moment. I spoke with him about different things and he is happy."

Bolton Wanderers' Kevin Davies is the only other fit striker in the squad an at 33 years of age would become the oldest England debutant since 1958, when Leslie Compton made his bow aged 38.

Davies won three Under-21 caps as a Southampton player but has never played for the senior side.

Capello: Rooney in a good moment
MEN, October 11, 2010

Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney is fit to start for England in their Euro 2012 qualifier against Montenegro at Wembley with Fabio Capello convinced he is in the right frame of mind.

The Reds forward was considered a major doubt a fortnight ago because of his ankle problem and missed th goalless draw with Sunderland.

Rooney was also facing allegations regarding his personal life and had looked a shadow of his former self when playing for United.

But he had shone for England in their two Euro 2012 qualifiers against Bulgaria and Switzerland, and his availability is even more important as Darren Bent is sidelined with a groin injury.

England manager Capello said: "Rooney will play. He is feeling good. I spoke with Wayne and he told me his ankle is okay.

"He trained fantastically and without pain.

"He is in a good moment. I spoke with him about different things and he is happy.

"Rooney will play tomorrow in the same style as he played against Switzerland."

That will mean Peter Crouch earning a recall, playing just ahead of Rooney.

Rooney had a hand in the build-up to all four goals against Bulgaria at Wembley and found the net against Switzerland in Basle.

Rio Ferdinand, restored as captain after recovering from injury, is convinced Rooney will be at his best against Montenegro.

He said: "Wayne has been under immense pressure because of the (personal) reasons we know.

"He has been fantastic in training. He has been the same old 'Wazza' around the training ground, which we all love.

"If we are going to win anything, we need him playing to his tip-top form.

"I am sure we will see a good performance from him tomorrow."

England reach Finals!
theFA.com, Jamie Bradbury in Botosani - 12 October, 2010

Stuart Pearce's men secure place at Euro Finals next summer.

England are through to the 2011 UEFA European Under-21 Championship in Denmark after a nervy 0-0 draw in Romania.

The result was enough to book Stuart Pearce and his men a place in next summer’s Finals after a 2-1 win in Norwich on Friday sent them to Botosani with something to defend.

Although Pearce was looking for a more comfortable passage through, all that will matter when they board the plane back to England is that they have more flights to look forward to in June.

It was a very warm afternoon and everyone in Botosani wanted a ticket for this one as the town crammed into the stadium with just the standing terrace behind one goal without any fans in. Even on the roofs of the surrounding buildings, fans lined up to watch. The only ones who wanted to leave were the 12 white doves released as the anthems finished.

And the game almost sparked into life with little more than 40 seconds played. Romanian midfielder Sabrin Sburlea tried his luck with a low swirling drive from 20 yards across Frank Fielding, but the 'keeper made a fine outstretched save to push around the post.

And it was a sign of things to come as the home side looked to impose themselves on England and get back level. Just like on Friday, they showed speed and aggression and didn’t allow the Three Lions to settle as they tried to get in behind Chris Smalling and Phil Jones.

Sburlea had another terrific chance and should have made England pay when he met Ioan Hora’s cross to the back post unmarked, but fired over.

After a nervy opening, Daniel Sturridge then had England’s first sight at goal after being set free by Danny Rose, but his shot, with his right foot, was pushed away.

The Chelsea man had another great opportunity to put England in front on the day. Fabrice Muamba and Jordan Henderson linked to break down a Romanian attack, before Danny Welbeck slipped the ball through to Sturridge in between the two central defenders. But his shot was easy for Silviu Lung.

Still with less than ten minutes gone the Romanian trickster Gabriel Torje had Fielding scrambling across the goal with a surprise, 35-yard strike that bounced just in front of the Blackburn stopper. He managed to beat it out low to his right, and the rebound was sent over the bar by Marius Alexe.

And Dinamo Bucharest prodigy Torje was prepared to have another go at Fielding, this time with a very audacious, almost ridiculous, attempt from all of 45 yards. Fielding was equal to it again, after another awkward bounce, as the ball found its way through a crowded box.

When Fabrice Muamba committed a foul on the edge of the England box two minutes after the break, Torje was again on the scene, but couldn’t beat the wall.

England’s attacking threat was often coming from Danny Rose on the left, and he flashed in two crosses, one landed on the roof of the net, the other was too far ahead of any fellow Lion, and drifted out of play.

Pearce made a tactical switch with half an hour left, replacing Sturridge with birthday boy Henri Lansbury to give a little more strength to the midfield.

The game was getting more tense by the minute as Romania still needed a goal to draw level. But with the away strike at Carrow Road a 1-0 victory would taken them to Denmark. And they weren’t frightened of shooting, unleashing efforts, some good, some bad, from all over. England themselves tried to maintain their passing approach but were not able to forge many openings.

When substitute Jack Cork did well to begin a quick England counter, Henderson rolled into the path of Sunderland team-mate Welbeck. As he looked to carry the ball into the box past last defender Marius Gaman, a superb tackle denied him a shot.

By now, the match was being played in the England half with the home side spurred forward by the whistles from the packed crowd.
When the Fourth Official held up the board to signal four minutes of stoppage time England were made to hold on even longer.

A final corner in the closing seconds looked ominous, but when the danger cleared, it was over.

England are heading to Denmark for a third successive European Finals for Stuart Pearce’s men.

Frustrating night for Three Lions
theFA.com, Nicholas Veevers - Tuesday, 12 October, 2010

Capello's men held to Wembley stalemate by dogged Montenegro.

It was a frustrating night for England at Wembley, as they were held to a draw by Group G leaders Montenegro despite enjoying the vast majority of possession and chances over the course of the game.

Zlatko Kranjcar’s side arrived in England sitting on top of the group with three wins from three games so far, but they showed none of their previous ambition in this encounter and went away from Wembley with exactly what they wanted - a point.

With nine men behind the ball at all times, Montenegro had set their stall out for a draw and left it down to England to break them down without even showing the slightest intention of hitting the Three Lions on the counter-attack.

And it worked. Even when Fabio Capello’s men did manage to get a sniff of goal from the little space they were afforded, they found a goalkeeper in Mladen Bozovic in formidable and reliable form.

Whilst it wasn’t pretty at times, Montenegro will see it as a good job done in what was their biggest game of the campaign to date and amazingly, they came the closest to winning it with a late shot against the bar from midfielder Milan Jovanovic.

That would have been extremely rough justice though and it could have been so different, as England almost took a somewhat fortuitous lead after two minutes, when Steven Gerrard struck a driving pass towards the area for Peter Crouch. The big striker stretched for it but failed to make contact and as ball drifted past him, it almost caught Montenegro goalkeeper Mladen Bozovic out with its flight and pace before eventually flying narrowly wide of the post.

The first clear chance came in the 16th minute though. With a free-kick in the final third, the Montenegrins were expecting a delivery into the area, but Gerrard cleverly slid a free-kick out to the unmarked Glen Johnson on the right instead. He played an early cross into the area, but Crouch directed his header over the bar from eight yards out.

Ashley Young then won England a free-kick in a promising position when he twisted past two defenders from the left before being unceremoniously knocked to the ground by Miodrag Dzudovic on the corner of the area. Young dusted himself down to take the free-kick, but his swerving delivery was missed by everyone and drifted behind for a goal-kick.

Adam Johnson was a whisker away from scoring just after the half-hour mark when he struck a direct free-kick at goal from 30 yards following a trip on Crouch. Bozovic was scrambling across his goal-line, but fortunately for him and his team, the ball flashed just wide.

With half-time five minutes away, Wayne Rooney managed to fashion some space for himself on the right hand side of the area, but his square pass towards Crouch was cut out and moments later, Crouch returned the favour with a knock-down but again the visiting defence were alert enough to clear the danger.

Rooney then stung the hands of Bozovic in first half added time, when Gerrard’s fine pass picked out Glen Johnson on the right. His first ball into the area was half-cleared but only as far as the Manchester United man who didn’t really connect fully with his shot.

With no changes for the second half, the onus was again on England to attack and the purpose was outlined from the off. Firstly, Rooney struck an 49th minute howitzer just over the bar before Gerrard skipped around Jovanovic on the right only to fizz a centre across the area and beyond everyone.

Rooney was denied again in the 59th minute, when Gerrard’s slide-rule pass into the box picked out his diagonal run but when Bozovic blocked his initial shot, the ‘keeper was up quickly to smother the ball at Crouch’s feet.

The Three Lions were beginning to find a bit of momentum, but found the visitors in resilient mood and more than prepared to take cautions for the cause with a series of cynical fouls. England weren’t entirely innocent themselves, with Rooney, Young and Gareth Barry also collecting cards for their misdemeanours as the game threatened to descend into a niggly battle. With six bookings dished out in little over ten minutes, that was how it appeared to be going and Montenegro would certainly be the happier of the teams if it was to stay that way.

With 20 minutes to go, Capello introduced Kevin Davies to the action in place of Crouch and it lifted the side. Firstly, Rooney forced Bozovic into an excellent save with a toe-poke from Davies’ centre before Gerrard struck a 25-yarder at goal which the ‘keeper was again equal to.

Montenegro were fortunate not to give a penalty away in the 77th minute, when Jovanovic clearly handled the ball in the area when trying to clear Ashley’s Cole’s high cross. The referee was perhaps on the wrong side of the player to see the incident clearly, but he was offered no help by his assistant and the cries from players and crowd alike fell on deaf ears.

As the game drifted into the final ten minutes, Montenegro managed to slow the game down even more and then had the cheek to almost score themselves. Substitute Fatos Beciraj beat Glen Johnson down the left and as his cross was only partially cleared by Gerrard, Jovanovic struck a fine dipping shot at goal which had Joe Hart beaten all the way,only to come bouncing back off the cross bar and out to safety.

There was time for one last save from Bozovic, as he managed to turn Barry's shot away from goal following a chip into the box from Adam Johnson as England's night ended in sheer frustration.

2018 WORLD CUP BID
Blatter to meet with Cameron
Soccernet - October 12, 2010

FIFA president Sepp Blatter will pay a visit to Downing Street on Wednesday to meet Prime Minister David Cameron as England's bid for the 2018 World Cup gears up for the final phase of the contest.

Blatter met deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg in the summer but has now accepted an invitation to meet Cameron face to face at Number 10.

Blatter will watch a presentation on England's bid and will meet Government ministers as well as several football figures and bid ambassadors. FIFA's 24-man executive committee will vote on the 2018 and 2022 hosts on December 2.

England 2018 chairman Geoff Thompson said: "The Prime Minister spoke with president Blatter shortly after taking office to reiterate the British Government's support for the bid and to invite him to Downing Street.

"We are delighted the FIFA president has accepted and we are honoured that he and FIFA general secretary Jerome Valcke will be visiting England so close to the decision in December.

"We will take this opportunity to provide first-hand evidence of England's passion for the game and confirm our intention to produce a commercially successful FIFA World Cup that creates a new global fund to provide benefits across the world for many generations to come.

"It will be a tremendous show of support from across the country and we are grateful to the Prime Minister for allowing this meeting to take place."

Thompson said the meeting would be used to emphasise legacy plans that are key elements of the England bid.

Blatter will also meet London mayor Boris Johnson before returning to Zurich on Wednesday night.

Capello defends flat performance of Man Utd striker Rooney
13.10.10 | tribalfootball.com

Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney turned in a flat performance for England in their 0-0 draw with Montenegro.

Capello defended Rooney, who missed two chances and again looked out of sorts.

Capello said: "Rooney played a normal game. He had two chances and twice the goalkeeper was very good, the second save was a fantastic save. We created four clear chances to score goals."

Capello, however, did concede that England were fortunate when Milan Jovanovic hit the bar with a shot which had beaten goalkeeper Joe Hart.

"We were lucky because they had one shot at goal and it hit the bar," Capello said. "In other games they have had two shots and always scored.

"This (Montenegro) team is a good team at the moment. They are a compact team, they work a lot. They are technically good.

"It is the fourth time they have had a clean sheet. It is not easy, you have to score quickly against them to make it easier."

Young: I should have had a penalty

Ashley Young claims he was fouled not once but twice when he was booked for diving in England's European Championship qualifying draw with Montenegro.

Aston Villa winger Young was at the centre of one of two second-half penalty claims during Tuesday night's goalless game at Wembley.

The 25-year-old threw himself to the ground theatrically when he collided with Miodrag Dzudovic in the area, moments after appearing to be tugged back on the edge of the box by another defender.

German referee Manuel Grafe ignored the first incident and cautioned Young for making a meal of the second.

But the former Watford star denied diving deliberately, saying: "I felt there was a foul beforehand in the first phase of play that didn't get given and I just couldn't do anything to get out of the way of the player coming in.

"I thought it was a penalty but that's the way things go. We didn't get it and we've just got to get on with it."

2018 WORLD CUP BID
Blatter backs English approach
ESPNsoccernet - October 13, 2010

FIFA president Sepp Blatter has praised England for "giving the world security in stadiums" and said Tuesday's problems in Italy would not have happened in the "motherland of football".

Blatter, who has been on a visit to see UK Prime Minister David Cameron as part of England's 2018 World Cup bid, says the country has moved on since the hooliganism of the 1980s, with measures brought in including all-seater stadia and the removal of fences.

Italy's Euro 2012 qualifier against Serbia in Genoa had to be abandoned on Tuesday night as a result of the behaviour of Serbian fans, and Blatter feels there are lessons to be learned from the English approach.

"England is the motherland of football," he said. "England has given so much to football, and England is going on to carry on giving much to football.

"Your predecessors were in a very difficult situation during the years from 1985 to 1989 and so on. I don't want to speak about what happened then, but the reaction you have made.

"You have given to the world security in the stadiums. You have built all your stadia, there are no fences and everyone is sitting. If this had been the case, we would not have had the problems we had in Genoa yesterday at the match.

"This is a big legacy, an important legacy you have given to the world. If only all the national associations in the world, and their leagues [had stadiums like this], we would have more fair play in our game.

"You did it - it's a question of organisation and it is also a question of discipline and respect. You did it here - and now we say, 'Where are the hooligans?' They are not in the stadium and this is a compliment to your government and your predecessors."

Blatter said he was satisfied that England would be able in a strong position to host the 2018 tournament.

"Now England can organise the World Cup tomorrow, England can organise the World Cup - that's not a problem, but what you are doing is a World Cup for the world," he said.

"The situation is such that your bid has impressed me personally. I will report to the executive committee when they meet [at the end of October] before the December 2 decision."

Cameron added: "I hope you see that England has got what it takes to host the greatest tournament on earth. I hope you can see how much our country wants this.

"Most important of all, I hope you have seen the real legacy that we plan to leave. Our bid is not about not what the World Cup can do for one country it's about what the World Cup can do for the world.

"We are the most diverse football nation in the world and we have travelled so far in kicking racism right out of football and that is one of the reasons why I believe we can make 2018 such a success."

England faces competition to host the tournament from Russia, Belgium and the Netherlands, the USA, and Spain and Portugal.

Rooney 'won't be rushed back' for England

By Harry Harris, Football Correspondent

Wayne Rooney urgently needs to regain his best form for club and country as Fabio Capello feels it is wise to 'rest' the under-pressure Manchester United star for the friendly with France.

Fabio Capello is not set to call on Rooney just yet.

Rooney is expected to return from the States fully fit and might even return to the United side on Saturday, but Capello is reluctant to rush him back at Wembley.

An England insider told ESPNsoccernet: "I don't think it's a good idea to rush Wayne Rooney back for England. He is not having a good time at the moment and we must all be aware that he needs time.

"We want Wayne Rooney back as the Wayne Rooney we all know when he was at his best in Munich in the Champions League. That is the Wayne Rooney the country wants to see again.

"He needs to come back with England the way he was. For that reason we see little point of rushing him back now."

Kevin Davies was called up for the European Championship tie with Montenegro, but that was for a specific purpose, and he might now not be selected as Newcastle striker Andy Carroll makes the big breakthrough.

"We thought that Montenegro would be tough defensively and for a period of the game we might need that kind of centre forward, and for the last 15 minutes we played the long ball game,'' the insider added. "That is not the way we intend to play against France, so we shall see about whether Kevin Davies is the player we would need for this match."

Matthew Jarvis and Jay Bothroyd have also been linked with a call-up, but may not get the chance to shine just yet. David Beckham is also not earmarked for an England comeback, despite his good form for L.A.Galaxy.

Capello turns to youth for friendly with France
Soccernet, Harry Harris -November 12, 2010

A set of "Fabio's Fledglings" will be called up for England on Saturday evening to take on France.

ESPNsoccernet understands that a group of the country's most promising young talents are already on the FA's "provisional" list, on stand-by as Fabio Capello decides which of his new generation will be called up in the squad.

Newcastle United's Andy Carroll and Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere, who this season is holding down a regular place under Arsene Wenger, are likely to start at Wembley on Wednesday.

Among a group of youngsters, Capello also has in mind Wolves winger Matt Jarvis, Sunderland's Jordan Henderson and Blackburn's Phil Jones, while Aston Villa's Gabriel Agbonlahor is also in the reckoning if he can prove his fitness in Aston Villa's game on Saturday with Manchester United ahead of the squad announcement.

Agbonlahor will have good reason to celebrate a new contract to stay at Aston Villa until 2015 if he is also called up by England. Actually the longest-serving player at the Midlands club, the 24-year-old made a successful return in the midweek win over Blackpool to put him in line for a start against Manchester United that can catch Capello's eye.

An England source said: "Agbonlahor played only around 25 minutes in the last match so much depends on what happens at the weekend ahead of the squad announcement. He certainly has another chance."

England are seriously missing strikers with no Wayne Rooney, Jermain Defoe, Darren Bent or Bobby Zamora available, and Capello is more likely to bring in Agbonlahor than retain Bolton's veteran striker Kevin Davies.

My source added: "Kevin Davies was selected by Fabio for the specific purpose of being used for the long ball, as we thought that might be necessary in the final stages against a very tough team like Montenegro in a competitive European Championship tie. Now, with this friendly, it makes more sense to call upon some of the young hopefuls to see how they fare.

"Of course, a lot depends on the condition of the players and when they turn up for training, but it is possible that there will be a few young players in the squad and a couple of the new players could even start the match at Wembley."

Capello likes a big, strong traditional type of English centre-forward, but he also wants this type of player to have pace, which makes Carroll ideal. On Carroll, the source said: "If not now, then when? He is scoring goals, and deserves his big chance."

Chelsea's Daniel Sturridge has been tipped to emerge from the Under-21s into the senior side but has not had many first-team chances this season to prove himself, so his breakthrough with England is likely to have to wait.

Quartet get first England calls

Saturday 13th November 2010 21:13

Bet with SkyBet Click here for football betting

Andy Carroll, Jay Bothroyd, Chris Smalling and Jordan Henderson have all earned first England call-ups for Wednesday's friendly with France.

Fabio Capello has handed the quartet their opportunity as part of a much-changed squad to tackle the 2006 World Cup runners-up at Wembley.

Although Carroll and Henderson had been heavily tipped for inclusion, it is more of a shock that Bothroyd and Smalling have been picked.

In total, there are nine new faces from the squad Capello initially announced for last month's Euro 2012 qualifier, including Manchester City full-back Micah Richards, who has never played a game for the Italian.

Arsenal duo Jack Wilshere and Kieran Gibbs have been selected, while some big names miss out, including Joe Cole, although Liverpool team-mate Glen Johnson has only just recovered from a groin injury.

Kevin Davies has also been omitted, which seems a bit harsh on the Bolton skipper, who made his debut against Montenegro last month and excelled in front of Capello against Tottenham last week.

However, Capello has decided to go with youth for the first of two friendlies before England's next competitive game, against Wales at the Millennium Stadium on March 26.

And that would mean a return home for Bothroyd if he were to be involved as the striker presently plays his club football for Cardiff in the Championship.

Not since David Nugent - then of Preston - scored in a 3-0 win over Andorra in Barcelona in March 2007 has a Championship player been capped by England.

However, the first hints that Bothroyd was under consideration came a couple of weeks ago, since when the 28-year-old, who has previously played for Coventry, Charlton and Wolves, and also had a short spell in Italy with Perugia, has maintained his impressive form.

The Islington-born player has now scored in Cardiff's last seven games and took his overall tally for the season to 15 with a double at Scunthorpe this afternoon.

Yet the mere fact Capello is having to dip into English football's second tier - even to a club that seems bound for the Premier League - is an indication of how weak his depth of strikers is once injuries take hold, as they have done this time around with the absences of Wayne Rooney, Darren Bent, Jermain Defoe and Bobby Zamora.

Carroll would certainly appear to be a better bet for the future and Capello saw the burly Newcastle man score the winner at Arsenal last weekend.

"It would be a very proud moment for this football club," said Magpies boss Chris Hughton earlier today when asked about the 21-year-old's impending selection.

"For a young man himself, to have the opportunity to represent his country, particularly with the amount of quality strikers there are around, then it would be a very proud day for him and the club."

Given Capello's preference to lead the attacking line with a bigger striker, Carroll has a decent chance of starting on Wednesday, where he would probably be supported by either Gabriel Agbonlahor or Steven Gerrard.

There was also joy in another part of the north-east as the progress Henderson has made with Sunderland was recognised.

It would appear Capello has received positive reports from Under-21 coach Stuart Pearce about both Henderson and Smalling, who has enjoyed an impressive first few months at Old Trafford, even if being introduced as a substitute striker at Aston Villa this afternoon must have been a first.

On the day he publicly complained about the lack of recognition he has received from Capello, Richards now gets a chance to add to the 12 caps he won under Steve McClaren, even though he has lost his first-team place at Manchester City.

The same is also true of Joleon Lescott. But the former Everton star keeps his place and with Phil Jagielka also available after impressive performances in England's opening two Euro 2012 qualifiers in September, the make-up of Capello's defence on Wednesday will be interesting as Rio Ferdinand and John Terry have also been picked.

Full squad: Foster (Birmingham), Hart (Man City), Green (West Ham); Gibbs (Arsenal), Cole (Chelsea), Terry (Chelsea), Jagielka (Everton), Lescott (Man City), Richards (Man City), Ferdinand (Man Utd), Smalling (Man Utd); Walcott (Arsenal), Wilshere (Arsenal), Young (Aston Villa), Gerrard (Liverpool), Barry (Man City), Johnson (Man City), Milner (Man City), Henderson (Sunderland); Agbonlahor (Aston Villa), Bothroyd (Cardiff), Carroll (Newcastle), Crouch (Tottenham).

Injured Terry, Cole ruled out of England game

By Mike Collett, LONDON | Sun Nov 14, 2010 9:23pm GMT

(Reuters) - Chelsea defenders John Terry and Ashley Cole will miss England's friendly international against France on Wednesday due to injury, the Football Association said on its website on Sunday.

Terry missed Chelsea's shock 3-0 home defeat by Sunderland in the Premier League on Sunday.

"He will not be able to play for England. He has a problem with his back and hopefully he will be ready for the next game," Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti said.

It will be the fourth successive England match Terry has missed and Everton's Phil Jagielka is likely to partner Rio Ferdinand at the heart of the England back line.

Cole played against Sunderland but pulled out of the England squad after the match. Bolton Wanderers defender Gary Cahill and Aston Villa fullback Stephen Warnock were called up as cover.

West Ham United striker Carlton Cole was earlier called into the squad due to fitness doubts over Newcastle United's Andy Carroll and Villa's Gabriel Agbonlahor who suffered injuries playing for their clubs over the weekend.

Carlton Cole won the last of his seven England caps as a substitute against Egypt at Wembley Stadium in March.

Fabio Capello urges England stars to shun alcohol
ESPNsoccernet - November 14, 2010

http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/images/2010/0902/fabiocapellopress20100902_275x155.jpg

Fabio Capello has warned his England players against indulging in alcohol and urged them to be "careful with their private life" due to the pervasive presence of mobile phones.

Capello - who on Saturday night named four new players in his England squad to face France, including Cardiff striker Jay Bothroyd - has chosen to remind his team of their responsibilities off the pitch.

Joe Hart, Gareth Barry and Adam Johnson were recently videoed at a student party in Scotland while the England squad is no stranger to scandal given a number of incidents over the past few years.

Capello does not wish to see his players making headlines for the wrong reasons and has bemoaned the influence of social networking sites and their intrusion into the private domain.

"If a player drinks a lot his career will be shorter," Capello said. "This is important. Players have to understand the effect drink has on the body. I don't think it is possible to be a top athlete and drink heavily after matches.

"You can know everything about what happens in someone's private life because of the mobile phone. It can record all the time. It can take pictures. You can find everything on Facebook or Twitter.

"It is the worst thing. It is why people can speak about certain people drinking or being out. Players now have to be so careful with their private life because people can see everything."

Rio backs youth to shine
England skipper talks up talent ahead of France meeting

By James Dall | SkySports

Rio Ferdinand has talked up England's emerging talent after Fabio Capello confirmed Andy Carroll, Jordan Henderson and Kieran Gibbs will start against France.

The trio will look to shine at Wembley as the Three Lions aim to further restore confidence in the national side.

England infamously endured a poor 2010 World Cup, leading to question marks over the country's footballing future amid suggestions that the talent pool was running dry.

But Ferdinand is eagerly anticipating seeing the emerging players in action versus France on Wednesday.

He said on Sky Sports News: "I think it is fantastic. There is nothing better than seeing a young lad get his first cap and go out there and lap it all up.

Carroll

"I remember my debut, and it is one of the proudest moments of your life. I hope they go out there and enjoy it and put in a performance.

"We have got a lot of young players who are hungry and want to come in and do well. We have full confidence in them. They are not fazed these young lads.

"The best thing about it is that they know each from coming through the youth ranks and U21s. They are loving it. That is what it is about."

Ferdinand also reserved praise for Newcastle striker Carroll, who has scored seven goals this season.

The Manchester United defender added: "I think he is a real talent, he makes it awkward for opponents to play against. Newcastle have a fantastic player on their hands.

"He is not just a big fella who can head the ball into the net, he has got good feet as well."

Becks: United Show You Have To Keep Fighting Until Last Minute
DECEMBER 1 | ROM

David Beckham is doing his bit to help out England’s World Cup 2018 bid. Russia were the favourites at the start of the day but their Prime Minister, Vladimir Putin, today revealed that he will not be visiting Fifa’s headquarters in Zurich because of the ‘unscrupulous competition’. The final pitch is made on Thursday and it’s each country’s last opportunity to win vital votes, so Fifa will unlikely be impressed his no show and comments.

Beckham doesn’t think this means England have it in the bag though, claiming he knows they have to fight until the very last minute, just like he did with Manchester United.

“The last 24 hours can be the most important without a doubt,” said Beckham. “All the way through my career, especially for Manchester United, I’ve known how important it is to keep fighting to the last minute – especially in the biggest games I have played in. I know how important it is to keep going right up to the decision.”

United fans have an extra reason to care about this decision though. The South Stand is in desperate need of an increase, to lift the capacity to 90,000 and fill in the obvious gap which is missing around the stadium. Because of the railway line that runs behind the stadium, no concrete plans have ever been made because of the issues with planning permission.

However, if England were hosting the World Cup, I’m sure the FA could pull a few strings. Given this in an English bid, not a British bid, they wouldn’t be able to use the 74,500 seater Millennium Stadium in Cardiff.

England – 2018?
Wembley – 90,000
Old Trafford – 75,957
Emirates – 60,355
St James Park – 52,387
Stadium of Light – 49,000

Saran dr Ando untuk Inggris : Dont just Kick and Rush! Jangan kebanyakan berlari dilapangan, tp suguhkan beberapa teknik lain ; passing dan possession......

Anderson: Why England didn't win World Cup

January 23, 2011 | MENMEDIA

Anderson was the energetic heartbeat in United's 5-0 win over Birmingham at Old Trafford yesterday.

Yet the former Porto man is not quite the non-stop bulldozer many would believe.

Instead, Anderson feels the ball has to do the hard work, which is something he is convinced England have not grasped.

"Fitness is a priority but it is more important to make the ball do the work," said the Brazil midfielder. "You don't need to run all over the pitch. It is much better to pass the ball well from one point to another.

"It can move faster than you can, so you should keep football simple and pass the ball as much as possible.

"In England, sometimes people think you aren't very good if you don't run around a lot.

"But I think that is one of the reasons why England don't do very well at World Cup finals. They run around too much."

Anderson has always been an amusing character, however United fans are now seeing a different side to him, having found some consistent form for the first time since his arrival at Old Trafford in 2007.

One thing the Red Devils will not be seeing though is the 22-year-old getting scalped.

The midfielder may have had his garish underwear posted on Twitter by Rio Ferdinand, but there is no way he will let anyone near his hair.

"There is no chance I would ever consider having all my hair cut off," he said. "My hair is my life. It is so important to me. If you cut off my hair, it is like cutting out my heart or cutting off my legs. I would cry for days and days."

Fabio Capello convinced Wayne Rooney is in right mood to shine for England
Fabio Capello will sit down and talk with Wayne Rooney before England's friendly with Denmark.

By Henry Winter | Telegraph
11:25PM GMT 27 Jan 2011

The Manchester United striker was distracted by off-field problems at the World Cup, performing poorly on the pitch and rounding on supporters off it, but Capello stressed, "his head is OK now".

Rooney has played four times for England since South Africa, and has been earning praise for his contribution at United since his contract saga was sorted out, but has yet to hit the heights of this time last season.

"Rooney is a fantastic player," said Capello. "I hope he will start with us. The movement with the ball and without the ball is good. The passing is now good. His head is now OK. I have to speak with him."

Two younger strikers, Danny Welbeck and Andy Carroll, have been watched by Capello, although both are injured. "Welbeck and Carroll are two young players we monitored," said Capello, who has capped Carroll. "They are both interesting players Jordan Henderson too. Kieran Gibbs will be the same."

Capello has also assessed two young right-backs, Kyle Walker, the Spurs defender who is on loan at Aston Villa, and Liverpool's Martin Kelly. "Walker is a very interesting player," said the England manager. "I saw him against Uzbezistan for the under-21s, and across the box he was really, really dangerous. But he has to improve with his defending. He's a really good player: fast and technically very good. Kelly is a good right-back but he is very young. He is an interesting player for England for the future."

Lampard named England skipper
ESPNsoccernet - February 8, 2011

Frank Lampard will captain England in Wednesday's international friendly against Denmark in Copenhagen, England manager Fabio Capello has confirmed.

Lampard, who will get his 84th cap for his country, has been given the armband after regular captain Rio Ferdinand was ruled out with a groin injury suffered ahead of Manchester United's game with Wolves on Saturday.

Steven Gerrard would have been favourite to replace Ferdinand but will also miss the game due to injury despite playing 90 minutes of Liverpool's win over Chelsea on Sunday.

England coach Fabio Capello said: ''I spoke with him [Lampard] about his injury that he suffered and I have been monitoring him during the last five games that he played. He has improved a lot. I saw him play against Liverpool and thought that he had a really good game - probably he is fresher than the other players.''

The 32-year-old will captain a somewhat depleted Three Lions side in Denmark, but said it would be a huge honour.

"I am very proud, it is quite unexpected," said Lampard. "I've been in the squad for a long time time now and I've go to a point where I am one of the old stagers. It will be one of the proudest moments of my career.

''I did have it [the armband] in the second half against Austria, under Steve McClaren and I was very proud then, but to actually walk out as captain is a huge deal. It's one of those things that, as a kid, you grow up dreaming about.

''I will try and do what I do for Chelsea. I won't change my character because of the armband. I want to be an example in the way that I play and talk to the players around me and hopefully that will have a strong influence on the team.

''The side certainly has other leaders, as we know. But I will just try and do my usual job and have an influence on the team.''

Capello confirmed that Ashley Cole would start, making him England's most capped full-back, while Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere will play in midfield. Aston Villa's record signing Darren Bent will start the game up front, having impressed the Italian after his January transfer.

''I have watched two games he [Bent] has played for Aston Villa,'' Capello said. ''When he was with Sunderland he played a different style because the manager asked him to stay close to the box and be fresh to score goals, but now he runs a lot more, presses a lot because the team play with a different style.

''He played well before but if you want to play with the seniors at this moment you have to be good when you go forward but also when you have to win the ball back and I think he has improved a lot.''

Inggris Menang, Capello Sumringah

Pelatih timnas Inggris ini merasa puas dengan penampilan debut Jack Wilshere.

Pelatih Inggris Fabio Capello tak sungkan untuk meluapkan kegembiraannya usai anak asuhnya mengalahkan Denmark 2-1 di Parken Stadium dinihari tadi.

Dalam pertandingan tersebut Denmark sempat memimpin lebih awal melalui gol Daniel Agger. Tetapi situasi itu mampu dibalikkan setelah Darren Bent dan Ashley Young mencetak gol buat Inggris.

"Saya bahagia dengan hasil pertandingan kali ini. Selain itu kebahagian saya juga bertambah menyaksikan penampilan dari sejumlah pemain, utamanya para pemain yang selama ini jarang tampil," kata Capello kepada ITV usai bertanding.

Capello juga secara terbuka memberikan pujiannya kepada Jack Wilshere yang telah bermain baik di sepanjang pertandingan.

"Ini menjadi debut yang menarik buat Wilshere," kata Capello.

"Memang masih terlalu dini untuk memutuskan line-up [buat kualifikasi Euro 2012] tetapi yang pasti pertandingan kali ini menjadi penampilan bagus buatnya [Wilshere]."

Jack Wilshere: Destined For Failure

http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/Jack-Wilshere-006_crop_340x234.jpg

I live in England, generally portrayed universally as harmless, of bad weather, posh accents and afternoon tea. However, what lies beneath this innocent surface is the darkest and deadliest force in the celebrity world: The British media, and it's about to take its latest victim.

Tonight, England takes on Denmark in a seemingly meaningless friendly in Scandinavia. However, because every insignificant moment has to be turned into the most important event since the "Big Bang", what we’ll really determine from tonight's action is how England’s latest teenage superstar’s career will inevitably implode in the future.

In the build up to this most meaningless of games, Fabio Capello has also felt the need to derail the future of one of his brightest young prospects, Jack Wilshere. Capello has compared the Arsenal midfielder to Paulo Maldini and Raul, iconic footballing legends the likes of which are rarely found in history.

What Capello’s effectively done is join the media scribes in condemning Wilshere by giving him the burden of carrying the footballing dreams of a nation desperate to return to former glories on his back.

As I mentioned before, tonight may well determine how Wilshere’s career will crumble. Firstly there is the "Tiger Woods method": Wilshere will reach the pinnacle of the footballing bliss, but the inevitable arrogance and sense of self-importance that stems from being the centre of footballing attention leads Wilshere an ego fueled spree of debauchery, giving the media its annual "footballing pigs" story the likes of which we’ve become accustomed to with Wayne Rooney and John Terry most recently.

The second possibility is the "Freddy Adu theory". The two-ton weight newspaper columns explaining how Wilshere is slightly more talented than God will crush the helpless youngster to the point where he’ll undoubtedly fall short of the unobtainable heights it’s been made out that he’s destined for, culminating in a mental breakdown and punching an arduous photographer in the mouth.

Adu has a first-hand experience of these crippling expectations. The American was once compared to Pele, and the moment the line escaped from the lips of whatever idiot uttered it, Adu was doomed. He’s now trying to rebuild his career on loan in Turkey.

I can see why the media would want to build up Wilshere to unprecedented levels. In the short term it can get publicity, and when it all goes wrong, it can destroy him. But why would the England manager, whose job it is to deflect pressure from his players, put such a curse on Wilshere before he’s even made his full debut?

You may see these comments as a compliment for the midfielder, flattering compliments to boost his confidence, but why can’t we just leave him to do his job and see what happens?

Why do we have to declare a relatively unproven player the equal of footballing immortals, unique players who have no comparable peers. Let’s sit back, and watch a talented young player’s career unfold naturally, instead of setting him up for an inevitable downfall.

Lampard Calonkan Pamannya Latih Inggris

LONDON, KOMPAS.com - Gelandang Chelsea, Frank Lampard, mencalonkan Manajer Tottenham Hotspur, Harry Redknapp, sebagai calon suksesor manajer timnas Inggris, Fabio Capello. Menurut Lampard, pamannya tersebut adalah pengganti yang ideal jika akhirnya kontrak Capello habis masa berlakunya.

Capello sudah mengkonfirmasikan bahwa dirinya akan berhenti menjadi Manajer Inggris usai Piala Euro 2012. Itu adalah batas akhir dari kontrak Capello bersama "The Three Lions". Lampard sendiri tetap menyerahkan sepenuhnya kepada Federasi Sepak Bola Inggris (FA) dan juga Redknapp untuk memutuskan.

"Ini harus diputuskan dia (Redknapp) dan FA. Tapi, akan sangat indah jika dia menjadi manajer timnas Inggris. Untuk saat ini, apa yang dilakukan Harry di Tottenham adalah pekerjaan yang fantastis. Jika ia punya peluang melatih Inggris, aku yakin dia akan menjadi manajer yang luar biasa," kata Lampard.

Meski mendukung sang paman, Lampard mengatakan dirinya tetap akan membantu Capello meraih sukses bersama timnas Inggris selama dia melatih.

"Saat ini kami harus bermain untuk Capello dan kami harus memenangkan sesuatu untuknya," tegas Lampard. (SKY)

No chance....

Terry could captain England

by Setanta Staff , 13 March 2011

John Terry could be handed the captain's armband for England's Euro 2012 qualifier in Wales as Rio Ferdinand is set to miss the game.

Three Lions coach Fabio Capello has been hit with a double whammy on the injury front as Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard has been ruled out of the game at the Millennium Stadium on March 26, having undergone surgery on his groin.

United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has now revealed that he does not expect Ferdinand to return from the calf injury, which has sidelined him since the start of last month, for the game.

Ferguson said: "Rio has been doing a bit of running. He will be ready for the game after the internationals.

"I wouldn't have thought he would have a chance before that. I don't think it would be wise for him to be called up by England. He hasn't played for us since January."

Therefore, with no captain or vice-captain at his disposal, Capello could hand Chelsea defender Terry the captaincy for the game against the Welsh.

Terry was stripped of the captaincy in February 2010 following allegations about his private life.

Rio's plea: don't hand my armband back to Terry! England skipper battles to keep role

Not going quietly: Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand is determined to stay as England captain

The high-risk strategy of reappointing John Terry as England captain has been laid bare.

Said to be alarmed, current captain Rio Ferdinand launched a bid to hold on to the armband, despite playing in only four of the 11 internationals since being appointed.

FA insiders confirmed Sportsmail's stunning Saturday morning exclusive by admitting that the England manager plans to hand the captaincy to Terry for the Euro 2012 qualifier in Wales on Saturday week - and even beyond.
Capello can expect a backlash if axe falls on Ferdinand.

Ferdinand contacted England general manager Franco Baldini and - aware that Capello might reinstate Terry at his expense - the Manchester United defender was given assurances that he remained the boss's first choice.

It leaves Capello in an extremely awkward position if he does decide to follow the game in Cardiff by leaving Terry in the role, because Ferdinand would feel he could no longer trust the England manager and his staff.

A source close to Ferdinand told Sportsmail: 'Baldini told Rio that Terry is being brought back because of the injuries to Rio and Steven Gerrrard. When Rio is fit again, he will return to the role of captain.'

Capello stripped the Chelsea defender of the captaincy after a series of controversies 13 months ago.

But, despite what appears to have been said to Ferdinand, Capello has concluded that Terry is the most natural leader in his squad and the best man for the job.

Terry Kapten Lagi, Ferdinand Kecewa

Manchester, detiksport - Manajer Inggris Fabio Capello memutuskan untuk mengembalikan ban kapten The Three Lions ke lengan John Terry. Sebuah keputusan yang membuat Rio Ferdinand kecewa.

Terry ditunjuk sebagai kapten Inggris lagi mulai laga kualifikasi Euro 2012 melawan Wales, Sabtu (26/3/2011) mendatang. Kapten Chelsea itu menggusur kapten lama, Ferdinand.

Padahal, 13 bulan silam Terry dicopot dari jabatan itu karena ketahuan berselingkuh dengan mantan kekasih Wayne Bridge yang mantan rekan setimnya di Chelsea dan waktu itu masih berstatus pemain timnas juga.

Keputusan Capello mengangkat Terry jadi kapten permanen membuat Ferdinand kecewa. Lebih-lebih, Capello tidak menyampaikan keputusan itu langsung padanya walau keduanya ada di Stadion Old Trafford menonton Manchester United bermain melawan Bolton Wanderers, Sabtu (19/3).

"Rio syok dan terkejut dengan hilangnya adab dan kesopanan yang diperlihatkan," ujar seorang rekan dekat Ferdinand seperti yang dikutip The Telegraph.

"Dia tidak percaya kalau dia membaca tentang dicabutnya ban kapten itu dari lengannya lewat surat kabar," imbuh sang sumber yang anonim itu.

Capello sendiri berkilah bahwa ia berniat menyampaikan hal itu kepada Ferdinand pada tengah pekan saat MU menjamu Marseille di Liga Champions. Namun Ferdinand menolak menemui Capello.

"Saya tidak tahu mengapa. Itu harusnya ditanyakan padanya, bukan pada saya," elak manajer berkebangsaan Italia itu.

"Saya berharap bisa menemuinya untuk bicara secara pribadi, bukan melalui telepon karena melalui telepon kurang baik," pungkas Capello.

Jarvis gets England call
ESPNsoccernet - March 20, 2011

Wolves winger Matt Jarvis has been included in the England squad for the upcoming Euro 2012 qualifier against Wales and friendly against Ghana.

Jarvis had been tipped for international recognition earlier this season after a string of impressive displays, and he has previously been included in provisional squads.

Having scored the only goal of the game against Aston Villa this weekend, the 24-year-old will now be a full part of the squad for the qualifier at the Millennium Stadium on Saturday and the friendly against Ghana at Wembley on March 29.

"It was great to get the call tonight confirming I am in the squad," Jarvis told the official Wolves website. "I'm delighted as you would expect and, to be honest, it's difficult to put it into words at the moment.

"I'd been named in standby for a few of the games this season so it's great that I've finally made it into the squad.

"Like every player, it's been a dream of mine to try and play for England since starting off in the game and getting into the squad takes me one step closer.

"I'll enjoy the news tonight and am really pleased but, from there, it will be a case of joining up tomorrow and trying to impress and do everything I can to get some time on the pitch."

Fabio Capello - who is already without Rio Ferdinand, Steven Gerrard and Theo Walcott - had hoped Manchester City winger Adam Johnson would be available but the games come too soon following his recent injury troubles.

England have at least been boosted with the news that Liverpool striker Andy Carroll, who made his debut against France in November, has been deemed fit enough to take part.

Tottenham winger Aaron Lennon is also included in the squad for the first time since the 0-0 draw against Montenegro at Wembley in October.

Tottenham defender Kyle Walker, currently on loan with Aston Villa, has retained his place in the squad, while Scott Parker also features after his consistently impressive performances for West Ham.

Capello had confirmed on Saturday that Chelsea defender John Terry will take over the captaincy from Ferdinand on a permanent basis. Terry picked up a knock in his side's 2-0 victory over Manchester City on Sunday but boss Carlo Ancelotti said he "doesn't have a problem and he is ready to play for England".

England squad for next Saturday's Euro 2012 qualifying match against Wales and the friendly against Ghana on March 29:

Foster (Birmingham), Green (West Ham), Hart (Manchester City); Baines (Everton), Cahill (Bolton), A Cole (Chelsea), Dawson (Tottenham), Jagielka (Everton), Johnson (Liverpool), Lescott (Manchester City), Terry (Chelsea, captain), Walker (Tottenham - on loan at Aston Villa); Barry (Manchester City), Downing (Aston Villa), Jarvis (Wolves), Lampard (Chelsea), Lennon (Tottenham), Milner (Manchester City), Parker (West Ham), Young (Aston Villa), Wilshere (Arsenal); Bent (Aston Villa), Carroll (Liverpool), Crouch (Tottenham), Defoe (Tottenham), Rooney (Manchester United).

Three Lions ease to victory over Wales

Saturday, 26 March, 2011
TheFA

Frank Lampard and Darren Bent goals do the damage in the first half.

by Nicholas Veevers at the Millennium Stadium, Cardiff

England got their European Championship qualifying campaign back on track in Cardiff, where two first-half goals from Frank Lampard and Darren Bent proved enough to see off a spirited Wales team.

The Three Lions restored their place at the top of Group G, with what was their game-in-hand on Montenegro and it was a controlled and competitive display from Fabio Capello’s men against a team that never gave up throughout the game.

With Scott Parker brought in to the team to play a deep-lying midfield role, that allowed Jack Wilshere and Frank Lampard the freedom to move forward and link with the likes of Darren Bent in front of them and Wayne Rooney and Ashley Young to either side of them.

Parker was everywhere in his own half, picking up loose balls, gaining possession and feeding his team-mates whilst offering an outlet for the defenders.

Likewise, Wilshere played a similar role further forward and it gave England a more penetrative look in general as they kept possession comfortably across the back and through the middle.

England got themselves ahead early on too, which no doubt helped settle a few nerves. The opening came in the sixth minute, when captain John Terry strode forward with the ball from defence and traded passes with Ashley Cole, before feeding Young on the edge of the area. The Aston Villa man turned sharply into the box before James Collins crudely hacked him down to leave the referee with little option but to point to the spot. Lampard stepped up and made no mistake, sending Wayne Hennessey the wrong way and smashing into the bottom left corner.

A second goal followed soon after, as the Three Lions caught the Welsh defence out with two clinical passes from back to front. With Glen Johnson in possession inside his own half, there seemed little danger until the Liverpool man fizzed the ball down the line to Young. He skipped past Danny Collins and placed a perfect cross into the middle for Bent, who fired emphatically into the roof of the net to put his side firmly in control.

After a fiery and passionate opening, the home crowd had been well and truly silenced, allowing England to dictate the tempo of the play which is exactly what Capello would have wanted.

Wales were struggling to create any real opportunities from open play and it was no surprise that a set-piece forced Joe Hart into his first meaningful action of the game in the 35th minute, after Lampard fouled Steve Morison midway into the England half. Craig Bellamy played a dangerous ball towards James Collins in the area, but Hart was out quickly to punch clear whilst under pressure from the big defender.

The only real negative from the first-half as far as England were concerned was the caution received by Rooney for a foul on Joe Ledley, which will see the Manchester United man ruled out of the next qualifier against Switzerland.

Wales came out after the break with renewed vigour, and they had a half-chance ten minutes after the re-start when a raking cross-field pass from Bellamy found Andy King making pace on the right. He controlled the ball well, but could only fire his shot high and wide of the target.

They had an even better opportunity on the hour mark when Ledley fed a pass into Morison in the area. The former England C striker was in space, but his poor control let him down and allowed Terry the chance to make a saving tackle.

King then fired over the bar again, after skilfully working some space for himself on the edge of the box in what was proving to be the hosts’ best spell of the match.

Despite a string of corners though, they never really troubled Hart too much as England comfortably saw out the game to pick up the three points they had targeted back across the border.

Formasi Baru Menangkan Inggris
Narayana Mahendra Prastya - detiksport

http://images.detik.com/content/2011/03/27/73/InggrisvsWales-Gettyimages.jpg

Cardiff - Menghadapi Wales, pelatih Inggris Fabio Capello menerapkan formasi 4-3-3. Formasi yang relatif baru ini membuahkan hasil positif yakni kemenangan yang membuat Inggris memuncaki klasemen sementara.

Inggris mengatasi Wales 2-0 dalam laga di Stadion Millenium, Sabtu (26/3/2011) malam WIB. Dua gol anak buah Fabio Capello dikemas oleh penalti Frank Lampard dan Darren Bent. Hasil ini membuat tim "Tiga Singa" berhasil memuncaki klasmen sementara Grup G.

"Ini formasi baru bagi kami, namun orang sudah paham apa yang kami lakukan dan bagaimana formasi itu bekerja. Kami bekerja untuk mendapatkan bola kembali dan ketika kami kehilangan bola, kami bisa langsung menekan lawan," ujar gelandang Inggris Ashley Young seperti dikutip dari BBC.

Pelatih Inggris Fabio Capello menilai bahwa formasi 4-3-3 ini berhasil membuat Young tampil maksimal. Meski tak mencetak gol, namun peman Aston Villa itu merupakan arsitek dari seluruh gol St.George Cross. Dalam pertandingan tersebut, Don Fabio memainkan Young sebagai tiga penyerang bersama Bent dan Wayne Rooney.

"Saya memutuskan memakai formasi itu setelah melihat pertandingan Wales. Formasi itu sangat bagus karena pemain seperti Ashley Young sangat berkembang," ujar Capello dilansir dari Reuters.

"Ada posisi baru untuk Rooney dan Ashley Young. Ketika kami bertahan, kedua pemain itu masih tetap bermain melebar. Formasi ini sangat bagus, namun saya masih belum tahu apakah ini saya gunakan lagi di pertandingan selanjutnya atau tidak. Semua tergantung siapa lawan kami."

Arsitek asal Italia itu juga memuji spirit tim secara keseluruhan. "Kami bekerjasama untuk merebut bola, pemain saling bantu satu sama lain," tutup dia.

Wayne Rooney Terkejut Harus Absen Lawan Swiss

Kartu kuning yang diterima Rooney saat menghadapi Wales membuatnya tidak bisa tampil di pertandingan Inggris berikutnya.

Inggris berhasil mengalahkan tuan rumah Wales 2-0 di Millenium Stadium, Sabtu (26/3) waktu setempat. Sayangnya dalam pertandingan babak kualifikasi Euro 2012 itu Rooney terkena kartu kuning di babak pertama.

Penyerang Manchester United itu ternyata belum menyadari kalau ia kartu kuning kedua berurutan yang diterimanya, setelah sebelumnya terkena kartu kuning dalam gim menghadapi Montenegro pada Oktober 2010.

Menurut pelatih Fabio Capello, Rooney baru menyadari sudah dua kali terkena kartu kuning sehingga harus absen memperkuat Inggris di gim selanjutnya, setelah pertandingan berakhir.

"Dia tidak menyadari hal itu sampai saya mengatakan padanya kalau kartu kuning yang diterimanya tidak bagus bagi dirinya dan timnya. Saya kemudian mengingatkan kalau ia juga dihukum kartu kuning di gim sebelumnya melawan Montengero, dan barulah ia menyadarinya," ungkap Capello seperti dilansir dari ESPN.

"Rooney sangat menyesal melakukan pelanggaran. Ia ingin selalu bermain dan memberikan yang terbaik bagi timnya. Saya katakan padanya kalau kami membutuhkannya di gim-gim berikutnya dan berharap ia bisa tampil lebih bak lagi."

Hasil ini setidaknya membuat The Three Lions kembali memuncaki babak kualifikasi Grup G mengungguli Montenegro. Di gim kualifikasi selanjutnya mereka akan menghadapi Swiss.

nyang ikutan UCL dikasih dispensasi nih ama Don Fabio ...
___________________________

England stars allowed time off
ESPNsoccernet - March 27, 2011

England have released five key players back to their clubs ahead of the upcoming friendly against Ghana.

Fabio Capello has allowed John Terry, Frank Lampard, Ashley Cole, Wayne Rooney and Michael Dawson to head back ahead of Tuesday's game at Wembley.

With Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham all still involved in the Champions League, Capello has told the quintet - all of whom started Saturday's 2-0 victory over Wales - that they will not be required for the fixture. In addition, Aston Villa full-back Kyle Walker has been ruled out by a groin injury.

Having given the armband back to Terry after stressing the need for a permanent captain, Capello must find a new candidate for England's first international with Ghana.

Gareth Barry, who was dropped from the team to face Wales, will be the favourite after wearing the armband for a spell during last month's friendly in Denmark.

Dispensasi dr capello as we read above memberikan 'berkah' nih bwt yg gak maen di UCL..
Gerrard dipanggil capello untuk menempati posisi kapten saat melawan ghana minggu ini..

Steven Gerrard: Fabio Capello gave me call over captaincy change

Metro.co.uk

Steven Gerrard has revealed England manager Fabio Capello spoke to him regarding his change of captain, despite not informing Rio Ferdinand of the decision.

Capello opened himself up to even more criticism on Sunday by releasing reinstated skipper John Terry back to Chelsea, forcing him to name yet another captain to face Ghana tomorrow.

The Italian admits he has no idea who will wear the armband for that match and risked alienating fans further by threatening to make 11 changes for the Wembley friendly.

The build-up to Saturday’s 2-0 Euro 2012 qualifying win in Wales was dominated by Capello’s decision to take the armband away from Ferdinand and return it to Terry, without speaking to the Manchester United defender.

But Liverpool captain Gerrard revealed: ‘I did actually get a call.

‘The manager spoke to me and explained what he’d been doing. He didn’t have to. The manager’s paid to make big decisions and he’s made the decision and I think we all have to respect it and move on.’

Having arranged the Ghana match to look at some of his fringe players, changes were expected.

But nothing as radical as Capello is considering, with Terry and Saturday’s vice-captain Frank Lampard released back to their clubs along with Ashley Cole, Wayne Rooney and Michael Dawson.

‘I will make 11 changes,’ he said. ‘We have to wait a little bit to see what the team will be but I want to respect the clubs and I need to look at different players.

‘I don’t know what will happen about the captain.’

Club England managing director Adrian Bevington expects Capello to get in contact with deposed skipper Ferdinand after Tuesday, saying: ‘I’m sure Fabio will pick up with Rio soon after these internationals are out of the way.’

Lawan Ghana, Inggris Dikapteni Gareth Barry
Gelandang Manchester City itu akan menggantikan peran dan tanggung jawab John Terry memimpin Inggris saat melawan Ghana.
Oleh M Yanuar F
28 Mar 2011 20:24:00

Inggris akan dipimpin oleh Gareth Barry saat melakoni laga ujicoba melawan Ghana besok. Gelandang Manchester City itu diberi kehormatan Fabio Capello untuk mengisi peran John Terry sebagai kapten Inggris.

Pergantian kapten itu harus dilakukan setelah Terry pulang lebih awal karena diminta klubnya Chelsea. Steven Gerrard yang menjadi wakil kapten juga tak bisa memimpin tim karena mengalami cedera.

Opsi lain, seperti Frank Lampard dan Wayne Rooney juga tidak masuk dalam pilihan karena dua pemain tersebut juga ikut pulang ke klub mereka masing-masing.

"Dia adalah pemain yang bagus, kapten yang baik," ungkap Capello yang dikutip Sportinglife.

"Dia juga pemain dengan jumlah caps terbanyak yang ada di tim lanjutnya.

Pelatih timnas Inggris itu juga mengungkapkan susunan pemain yang akan diturunkannya saat menghadapi Ghana besok, seperti memainkan Phil Jagielka, Leighton Baines dan Andy Carroll sebagai starter.

Scott Parker, yang sebelumnya mengalami cedera ringan, juga akan diposisikan sebagai gelandang tengah jika bisa fit.

"Dia masih mengalami masalah kecil, tapi saya harap dia bisa fit," tandasnya.

Agbonlahor: Pace is a great asset

http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/1168978_medium.jpg

By his own admission, this season has been stop-start for Aston Villa and England's Gabriel Agbonlahor. After hitting double figures in each of the last three campaigns, the Birmingham-born forward has been frustrated by injury and has found the net just twice in 20 appearances. However, 2010/11 has included one reason to be cheerful: the 24-year-old put pen to paper on a new four-and-a-half-year deal with the club back in November, with Agbonlahor admitting that he wants to remain a Villan for life.

FIFA.com caught up with ‘Gabby’ recently to chat about the highly-respected Aston Villa academy that nurtured his talents, his electric pace, playing for England, and his future at club and international level.

FIFA.com: Gabby, what's the secret to the success of the academy at Aston Villa?
Gabriel Agbonlahor: The attitude of the players, the coaching staff and the youth development team has been pivotal in the success of our academy. We are just beginning to see the next batch of players coming into the first team now with the likes of Marc Albrighton, Ciaran Clark and Barry Bannan, so long may it continue.

Who in your career has been a particularly influential figure?
Steve Burns, who is the assistant academy director at Villa. He has been at the club since I started and he helped me a lot during my time in the youth team. Steve was also the one who spotted me when I was playing junior football, so I have got a lot to thank him for in terms of my career.

Finding out I was to start against Germany for my debut was hugely exciting. That game, alongside my Villa debut and scoring against Birmingham City, is right at the top of my career highlights.

Since making your debut in March 2006, how do you feel you’ve developed?
Year by year you get more experience and I think that’s helped me improve as a player more than anything. When you first make your debut you are a bit nervous, but that obviously subsides over time and allows you to develop your game. I scored on my debut, which we ended up losing 4-1 at Everton, but since then the Premier League has got harder, as you can tell by this season’s table, so you are continually required to perform, and the experience helps. Ultimately I just look to take each game as it comes and try to perform as best I can.

Who was your footballing hero growing up?
I’ve always been a fan of Thierry Henry, he was a player I particularly admired. The way he plays - his pace, his power and the way he scores goals - really stood out for me.

Unlike many English strikers – and like Henry - you have a great deal of pace. How do you feel it benefits your game?
Pace is always a great asset to have. Obviously there are some strikers where speed isn’t one of their strong points but they excel in different areas. Pace helps in that it worries defenders. It forces them to defend differently and can change their approach to trying to deal with you. I’m lucky in that I’m naturally quick. When I was at school I did a lot of sprinting, particularly the 100 metres. I’m not sure how fast I can run that these days, but I would at least say I’m the quickest at the club.

You had a choice between an international career with Nigeria and Scotland as well as England. Do you feel you made the right decision?
England is where I was born so it was a natural choice to choose them. I’ve been a bit unlucky when it comes to appearances though. When I’ve had call-ups I’ve had little injuries and I wasn’t risked, so that has got in the way a bit and that’s why I’ve had to pull out of the latest squad (for the games against Wales and Ghana).

What does playing for England mean to you?
Well, even just winning one cap would have been fantastic, so I’m not going to sniff at getting three so far, and I still have a long time ahead of me. I will never forget my first game though. Finding out I was to start against Germany for my debut was hugely exciting, but the nerves were obviously there seeing as I was representing my country. That game, alongside my Villa debut and scoring against Birmingham City, is definitely right at the top of my career highlights. I’m now just looking forward to getting the opportunity to pull on the shirt again.

Was it a blow then to miss out on the squad for South Africa 2010?
I was upset certainly, but it was a tough squad to get into anyway, and a number of great players missed out. It is a bonus to get into an England squad for anyone, so I’ll just hope to get my chance to prove my worth in the future and look to help us qualify for EURO 2012.

So, what does the future hold for you at club and international level?
At the moment I am just focusing on getting games in and playing more and more for Villa. I definitely see myself as a one-club man, which I feel is important, and hopefully I have the chance to continue here long into the future. I signed a new contract recently and if it was up to me I would stay at Villa Park for the rest of my career, so I hope that’ll be the case.

Danny Welbeck Gantikan Aaron Lennon Di Skuad Inggris

Striker Sunderland itu mendapat panggilan dari timnas Inggris untuk kali pertama dalam laga melawan Ghana dinihari nanti.

Fabio Capello memutuskan untuk memanggil Danny Welbeck untuk masuk dalam skuad Inggris yang dipersiapkan menghadapi Ghana dinihari nanti.

Welbeck dipanggil masuk untuk mengisi slot yang ditinggalkan Aaron Lennon yang pulang ke klubnya Tottenham Hotspur, karena mengalami cedera.

Asosiasi Sepakbola Inggris, FA, menyatakan jika dipulangkannya Lennon sebagai bentuk pencegahan karena yang bersangkutan mengaku mengalami cedera hamstring usai latihan hari ini.

Sebelumnya Capello menyatakan tidak akan memanggil pemain pengganti, namun kemudian dia mengubah pikiran dan menunjuk Welbeck sebagai pengganti.

Dipanggilnya Welbeck tak lepas dari penampilan impresifnya dalam masa pinjamannya di Sunderland dari Manchester United musim ini.

Carroll Ketagihan Cetak Gol Untuk Inggris

Bola.net - Inggris hanya mampu bermain imbang 1-1 lawan Ghana pada laga uji coba di Wembley, Rabu (30/3) dini hari WIB.

Sempat memimpin lebih dulu melalui gol Andy Carroll, kemenangan The Three Lions buyar karena gol telat Ghana yang dicetak Asamoah Gyan.

Meski hanya imbang, hasil itu disambut positif oleh Carroll. Golnya ke gawang Richard Kingson tersebut merupakan gol perdana Carroll untuk Inggris.

"Aku ingin terus bermain untuk Inggris dan mencetak gol lagi," kata Carroll usai pertandingan pada Reuters.

"Aku menikmati formasi 4-3-3 yang diinstruksikan pelatih. Aku siap di sini (timnas) dan mencetak gol lagi bila dipanggil," lanjut striker Liverpool itu.

Laga menghadapi Ghana merupakan caps kedua Carroll bersama tim senior Inggris setelah debutnya lawan Prancis bulan November lalu

Para Ahli Ungkap 100 Kata Untuk Melatih Inggris

Bola.net - Manajer Inggris, Fabio Capello mengaku tak fasih berbahasa Inggris namun menurutnya itu tak menjadi halangan untuk menjadi pelatih yang sukses, dan itu coba dibuktikan oleh para ahli.

Capello sebelumnya mementahkan kritik yang menyindir penguasaan bahasa Inggrisnya yang buruk, dengan mengklaim bahwa ia hanya butuh 100 kata dalam kosakata bahasa Inggris untuk menerjemahkan pikirannya pada para penggawa The Three Lions.

Nah, para ahli di Cambridge University pun mencoba menggunakan super computer untuk melacak ke dalam jutaan kata dalam bahasa Inggris dan menjaring frase-frase dalam sepak bola yang dianggap paling berguna.

Dari kata-kata yang ditemukan terdapat kata benda yang vital semacam ball, goalpost dan cup serta kata kerja termasuk kick, dribble dan dive.

Kata-kata esensial yang dirasa perlu untuk Capello dalam memberi inspirasi pada tim di antaranya adalah passion, spirit dan pride.

Namun para ahli ternyata juga memasukkan kata-kata yang tak mungkin dihindari penggunaannya oleh para manajer Inggris yakni defeat, disappointment, humiliation dan sack (pemecatan).

Hmm, mungkin kata yang terakhir itu harus dipahami betul oleh Capello. (espn/row)

Inggris Wacanakan Keluar dari FIFA

London, detiksport - Inggris bersikap tegas menyusul munculnya tuduhan korupsi di FIFA yang membuat mereka kehilangan peluang jadi tuan rumah Piala Dunia. The Three Lions mewacanakan keluar dari FIFA, bersama beberapa negara lain.

Demikian diungkapkan Menteri Olahraga Inggris Hugh Robertson. Keinginan hengkang dari FIFA tersebut didasari munculnya tuduhan korupsi terhadap enam pejabat tinggi FIFA sebagaimana diungkapkan mantan ketua bidding pencalonan Inggris sebagai tuan rumah Piala Dunia 2018, Lord David Triesman.

Seperti diberitakan sebelumnya dua orang pejabat FIFA, Issa Hayatou (Kamerun) dan Jacques Anouma (Pantai Gading) dituduh menerima suap sebesar US$ 1,5 juta untuk memilih Qatar sebagai tuan rumah Piala Dunia 2022. Sementara empat orang lainnya dituduh meminta suap sebagai kompensasi saat diminta Inggris mendukung mereka menjadi tuan rumah Piala Dunia 2018.

"Saya sudah melihat perkembangannya dari beberapa asosiasi sepakbola di seluruh dunia (terkait keinginan hengkang dari FIFA), terutama kami melakukan itu terkait bidding tuan rumah (Piala Dunia) 2018," seru Robertson pada BBC.

Apa yang diungkapkan Robertson tersebut bisa jadi bukan sekadar gertak karena dia mengklaim sudah melakukan kontak dengan negara-negara lain. Namun yang jelas Inggris disebutnya masih punya niat baik untuk membersikan masalah korupsi dari tubuh FIFA.

"Saat ini ada keinginan untuk mencoba bekerja mengubah FIFA dari dalam. Jika FIFA tak mampu melakukannya, maka saya katakan kalau semua opsi mungkin saja dilakukan."

"Tapi untuk saat ini kami snagat ingin bekerja bersama mereka dan meyakinkan kalau mereka (FIFA) perlu mengambil langkah yang sama seperti IOC saat memproses kasus yang terkait dengan masalah Salt Lake," tuntas Robertson.

Beckham Diusulkan Menjadi Pengganti Capello

Bola.net - Mantan pelatih Timnas Inggris, Peter Taylor percaya bahwa David Beckham mempunyai kapabilitas untuk menjadi pelatih The Three Lion berikutnya

Dengan segera berakhirnya kontrak Fabio Capello di kursi pelatih Inggris setelah pagelaran Euro 2012, Taylor berpikir bintang LA Galaxy ini sebagai sosok yang tepat untuk mengambil alih jabatan nahkoda Timnas Inggris.

"10 tahun lalu, saya akan berkata Inggris butuh pelatih yang berpengalaman. Tetapi sekarang saya melihat situasi yang terjadi dan saya merasa siapapun yang sering bermain dengan Timnas Inggris akan dengan mudah menjadi
pelatih Timnas Inggris," ucap Taylor.

"Anda lihat saja David Beckham, Gary Neville, Alan Shearer. Mereka mendapatkan rasa hormat dari banyak orang karena melihat sukses dalam karir mereka sebagai pemain

"Mereka juga bisa dengan mudah menjadi pelatih dan memilih staff guna memastikan meraih gelar juara. Mereka juga akan mendapat segala macam bantuan yang diperlukan, itulah indahnya bekerja sama dengan FA."

"Bekerja sama dengan FA terasa menyenangkan karena tidak ada yang tidak mereka lakukan untuk memberikan Anda kesempatan meraih sukses."

"Beckham dapat dengan mudah mengorganisasi tim, memilih pemain dan memilih staff yang akan membantunya mempersiapkan semua," Taylor mengungkapkan dukungannya.

Inggris Abstain dari Pemilihan Presiden FIFA
Arya Perdhana - detiksport

London - Inggris masih menyimpan rasa sakit hati akibat kekalahan mereka dalam pemilihan tuan rumah Piala Dunia. Karenanya, Inggris dipastikan tidak akan memilih Presiden FIFA yang baru.

Hal itu ditegaskan dalam pernyataan Asosiasi Sepakbola (FA) menjelang pemilihan Presiden FIFA di mana ada dua kandidat, yakni Sepp Blatter dan Mohamed Bin Hammam.

"Dewan FA hari ini setuju untuk abstain dalam pemilihan Presiden FIFA," demikian pernyataan FA yang dikutip Eurosport perihal pemilihan yang dijadwalkan berlangsung pada 1 Juni mendatang.

"Ada sejumlah isu yang juga telah banyak diberitakan yang menurut Dewan FA membuat kami sulit untuk memilih salah satu di antara kedua calon," imbuh pernyataan tersebut.

Inggris gagal menjadi tuan Piala Dunia 2018 karena yang terpilih adalah Rusia. Inggris meradang dan mulai membongkar praktik-praktik busuk, khususnya praktik suap menyuap, dalam proses pemilihan tuan rumah Piala Dunia.

"FA menghargai tinggi hubungannya dengan rekan sepakbola internasional. Kami bertekad untuk memainkan peran aktif dan berpengaruh melalui keterwakilan kami di UEFA dan FIFA," bunyi pernyataan FA.

"Kami akan terus bekerja keras untuk menghadirkan perubahan yang kami pikir akan menguntungkan buat sepakbola internasional," tegas FA.

Pemainnya bek sama gelandang semua :hammer:

parah Inggris mainnya...

ini rapor versi saya..

Joe Hart : 6
Joe Hart 2 kali gagal mengantisipasi 2 gol Swiss, tapi bukan sepenuhnya kesalahan Joe..

Ferdinand : 7,5
Ferdinand lebih aktif daripada Terry... bahkan separuh babak kedua, seluruh posisi bek diambil beberapa kali oleh ferdinand

Terry : 5
Ga ada pergerakan berarti... entah terbebani status kapten atau gimana... kok kesannya ga keliatan mainnya..

G. Johnson : 6,5
pergerakan yg bagus, sempat mengirim crossing... dan melakukan tekel berbahaya..

As. Cole : 5,5
awal babak mainnya bagus... tapi cedera membuatnya berhenti..

Milner : 5,5
pemain ini yg mutlak disalahkan karena gol ke 2 swiss tercipta karena bola tendangan pemain swiis melewati Milner yg membuka pagar betis di sisi kanan pertahanan Inggris.. meski tertolong dengan assist untuk gol Young

Lampard : 7
1 gol penalti yg mampu meningkatkan moral Inggris... good job

Wilshere : 6
pergerakan dan passingnya cukup membuat pertahanan swiss lebih waspada, sehingga pemain lawan menjatuhkannya di kotak 16, dan Lampard suskes mengeksekusi penalti

Parker : 6
peran sebagai gelandang bertahan membuat parker tidak terlalu menonjol.. tapi berperan bersama Wilshere dalam mengatur serangan...

Walcott : 6
sempat mengancam di babak pertama, crossing yg akurat, namun di ganti A. Young pada babak kedua

D. Bent : 5
3 peluang gol didepan mata disia-siakan... huff.. klo kata cewek, gemeeess ngeliatnya...

Subs :

Baines : 7
pergerakan yg cerdik dan ikut membantu serangan, umpan pendek yg terukur, dan satu operan bola dengan dada, dan diteruskan Young menjadi gol...

A. Young : 8
fantastis... baru masuk, belum ada 10 menit mencetak gol.. kerjasama Baines dan Young memang luar biasa.. menciptakan beberapa peluang, namun disia siakan Bent..

Downing : 5,5
Pemain pengganti yg masuk di sisa 15 menit akhir... pergerakan di sisi kanan tidak terlalu dominan, dan memiliki 1 peluang emas di menit akhir... sayang.. tidak gol..

Budweiser to sponsor The FA Cup

http://www.thefa.com/~/media/Images/TheFA/Website/Pillars/Competitions/The%20FA%20Cup/FA%20Cup%20images/BudweiserRibbons2.ashx/BudweiserRibbons2.jpg?bc=Black&as=1&db=web&thn=0&w=488&h=210&c=gallery

The Football Association is proud to announce a three-year agreement with Budweiser, which will see the iconic global lager brand become the Lead Partner of The FA Cup, to be known as The FA Cup with Budweiser.

Budweiser and its parent company Anheuser-Busch InBev (AB InBev) are long-standing supporters of football around the world, with Budweiser having served as Official Beer of the FIFA World Cup™ for the last 25 years. As Lead Partner, Budweiser will be bringing the world’s most prestigious cup competition closer to the fans through an exciting programme of activity, both in the UK and around the world.

As part of AB InBev’s dream to be the Best Beer Company in a Better World, Budweiser has dedicated a portion of sponsorship funding to working with The FA to develop a bespoke programme promoting responsible drinking to football fans. Budweiser is also partnering with The FA on a community initiative that will provide essential equipment to teams in the early rounds of the competition.

Alex Horne, FA General Secretary, said: “We are extremely pleased to have secured an iconic brand such as Budweiser to be the Lead Partner of The FA Cup. Like The FA Cup, Budweiser has a proud heritage and a long history of being involved in football.

"Furthermore, given the global reach of this sponsorship, we will see The FA Cup promoted around the world like never before which is great for the fans and the players. The FA Cup is already a much-loved competition around the world and we look forward to building on that passion with Budweiser.”

Chris Burggraeve, Chief Marketing Officer at AB InBev, said: “AB InBev is a long-standing supporter of football around the world. We share The Football Association’s ambitions to showcase the tournament globally, uniting the millions of fans around the world who anticipate The FA Cup each year."

The agreement was negotiated by The FA’s sponsorship team, led by Peter Daire, who said: “Being able to work with a brand like Budweiser, with its scale and marketing expertise, is a great boost to The FA Cup and I look forward to making the partnership a success for both parties, and most importantly, for fans and competing clubs.”

Jason Warner, Global Vice President of Budweiser, said: “Budweiser is proud and excited to sponsor the world’s oldest and most famous domestic cup competition.

"We’re looking forward to sharing our passion for the beautiful game, bringing The FA Cup closer to fans around the world through an exciting programme of activity. For example, in an FA Cup first, Budweiser will give football fans the opportunity to vote for the official ‘Man of the Match’, a role usually reserved for the broadcast commentating team.”
