The same show – different actors


Just like we thought, England's match against Andorra was far from brilliant and only Joe Cole saved the nation some blushes, much the same as Gerrard did in their last encounter. There is no doubt this is way below par, as even Andorra's manager David Rodrigo said he would win the match with style if he had the chance to change seats with Capello.
Today, in the most interesting WC 2010 qualifying match, the three lions return to Zagreb, Croatia. Steve McLaren’s place is taken by Fabio cappelo and David James takes Paul Robinson’s spot. This leaves only a couple of questions open: Should it be enough to take points from the Croats? Will history repeat itself (like Saturday match with Andorra) and England are about to lose?
Today, Capello is facing his first big test in what might be his most important match of the campaign. England national team is one of the most skillful, talented and strongest teams in the world and in my opinion, it’s up to the manager whether they win or lose. As simple as that. Therefore, England must have a strong manager who can unite the players.
I'm not sure David Rodrigo could do the job, but I'm pretty sure Slaven Bilic would. I don’t think England can take three points from today's match Do you?
