Capello Quits

Ramsey had home advantage, Capello had to play on another continent
Ramsey faced half of Germany, Capello faced all of Germany and most of Poland and Turkey as well
Ramsey faced Eusebio in the Semi Final and he had 4 goals disallowed, after Portugal had been forced to move stadium at the last minute

Give Capello all the advantages Ramsey had, and give Ramsey all of Capello's disadvantages and I'm sure things would have turned out a bit differently.

Would be funny if you weren't actually trying to argue a point of discrimination.

They're both German....and why people go on about Ozil being Turkish is beyond me when he's 3rd gen German.

Klose and Podolski were both born in Poland. It is a shame that they have both let their country down, abandoning their roots to play for Germany.

I know where they were born. They are still German as well as Polish.

Klose is ethnically half German and he moved to Germany when he was 6.
Podolski has some ethnics roots in Germany and he moved to Germany when he was 2.

If anything they'd be letting down Germany by choosing Poland.

There's no such thing as "half German." You are 100% where you are born.

Interesting thought.

Don't agree with it though

"There is no doubt Harry Redknapp is the best man,"

"He has the experience and personality and the knowledge of the game. He has changed the fortunes of every club he has been at.

"He is the right choice.

Even Fergie thinks so.

Read some quotes from Jamie Redknapp the other day saying he actually not 100% for the England job anymore after the support he got from Spurs during the trial and that. I'll try and find them but he's more torn about taking the job now then before.

I thought we had no title bid? And what about all the other Prem managers who are fighting relegation? What have they got to gain?

WC semi finals with Holland
WC semi finals with South Korea
Took Australia out the group in 2006
Euro 2008 semi finals with Russia

Quite a lot won at club level.


Would be a good choice. Better than some of the shite ITV have come up with:

Fabio Capello's shock exit has created a vacancy for an England manager, just four months away from the start of Euro 2012.
Unlike when Capello was offered £6million a year to clear up the mess left by Steve McClaren, the Football Association do at least have options - and some of them are even English.
HARRY REDKNAPP
Ticks all the boxes; English, managed in the Champions League, won trophies, plays attractive football and has done so with Tottenham thanks to a core of English players, including captaincy candidate Scott Parker. Has to be the overwhelming favourite.
ROY HODGSON
Was strongly fancied to replace Capello following the 2010 World Cup. However, before the FA made their decision, Hodgson plumped for an ill-fated spell with Liverpool. Now at West Brom, Hodgson has vast managerial experience and would be viewed as a safe pair of hands.
ALAN PARDEW
After difficult spells at Charlton and Southampton, Pardew has re-established his reputation at Newcastle. Overcome a lot of scepticism to re-establish the Magpies as a top-flight force and not yet out of contention for a Champions League place after an outstanding campaign.
STUART PEARCE
Long-time coach of the England Under-21 side and confirmed as boss of the Olympic team later this year. Pearce's fierce reputation as a player took a knock when he failed to curb the excesses of Joey Barton at Manchester City. Lacks experience of the club scene but many other countries prefer to appoint from within.
JOSE MOURINHO
Impeccable CV and perfect grasp of English. One man who would have no problem controlling the dressing-room egos. Tipped to leave Real Madrid in the summer, his fiery temperament might be a big problem for the FA, in addition to his salary demands, which are sure to be high.
ARSENE WENGER
Hugely respected in England and his knowledge of the domestic game clearly an advantage. In the middle of a vast rebuilding exercise at Arsenal, where some fans have turned against him, so not impossible to believe he could be prised away. Never shown any liking for the international game though.

There's no such thing as "half German." You are 100% where you are born.

Maybe you wouldn't have been xenophobic.
