THE ENGLAND SQUAD-WORLD CUP 2010 FLOP

ITS BEEN ANOTHER WORLD CUP FULL OF DISSAPOINTMENT FOR THE THREE LIONS{ENGLAND}...WORLD CUP THIS TIME AROUND IN SOUTH AFRICA...WELL,I THINK ITS TIME FOR ME TO SHOOT OUT SOME OF THE REASONS FOR ENGLANDS CONTINUOS WORLD CUP FLOP THAT REALLY COST THEM EVERYTHING..ENGLAND HAS ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL FORM OF TEAM WITH SO MANY TALENTED PLAYERS,SKILLFUL AND ALSO VERY DEDICATED PLAYERS,BUT YET THEY CANT PERFORM WELL WHEN IT COMES TO WORLD STAGES AND I SERIOUSLY DONT KNOW WHY,BUT I DO HAVE SOME POINTS THAT CAN I SAY TO REASONISE THE ENGLAND FLOP..I THINK ONE OF THE FACTORS IS BECAUSE ENGLAND HAS TOO MANY STAR PLAYERS PLAYING TOGETHER IN A TEAM.FOR EXAMPLE,THE LIKES OF STEVEN GERRARD AND FRANK LAMPARD,WHO ARE TWO OF THE MOST BEST MIDFIELDERS.WE CANNOT EXPECT TWO BEST PLAYERS TO PLAY TOGETHER ESPECIALLY FOR THE STANDARD OF THESE TWO,NOTHING SPECIAL CAN EVER HAPPEN UNLESS THEY REALLY WORK AS A TEAM...BUT THINGS SEEM TO BE THE OTHER WAY ROUND.WHENEVER YOU PLAY TWO BEST PLAYERS IN SAME ROLE WHICH IS CENTRAL MIDFIELD,THERE'S ALWAYS A PRIDE TO HAPPEN,WHIC EXACTLY HAPPENEND DURING THE WORLD CUP.......FOR EXAMPLE,FRANK LAMPARD TOOK MANY SHOTS BY HIMSELF THAN PASSING THE BALL AROUND AS A TEAM,AND THE SAME THING GOES TO GARETH BARRY.ERRMM,WELL STEVEN GERRARD IS A KIND OF PLAYER WHO REALLY PLAYS AS A TEAM PLAYER AND HE DID QUITE WELL DURING THE WORLD CUP,BUT YOU CAN NEVER EVER DEPEND ON ONE PLAYER TO WRAP UP THINGS FOR A TEAM,WHEREAS THE WHOLE TEAM SHOULD BE WORKING TOGETHER.APART FROM THAT,THE STRIKE FORCE WAS ALSO POOR THIS TIME AROUND AGAIN AS ROONEY WAS LEFT AS A LONE STRIKER AND HE NEVER DID ANYTHING SPECIAL AND NEVER DID ANYTHING ACCORDING TO FABIO CAPELLO'S EXPECTIONS ON HIM..AND THE BEST THING HERE ABOUT ROONEY IS THAT,HE FAILED TO SCORE IN ANY OF THE GAMES THEY'VE PLAYED.JERMAINE DEFOE WAS GIVEN THE CALL UP DURING THE MATCH AGAINTS SLOVENIA AND HE DID SCORE TO DRAG ENGLAND TO THE ROUND OF 16,ONLY TO SEE ENGLAND GET DEMOLISHED BY THE ''NAZI''{GERMANY] 1-4.THE DEFENCE WAS ALSO NOT INSPIRING AS JOHN TERRY,ASHLEY COLE AND ANDY JOHNSON AMONG THE HIGH HOPES OF CAPELLO'S PLAN TO PERFOM WELL,BUT FAILED TO DO SO.RIO FERDINAND WAS INJURED AND THEREFORE WAS LEFT OUT OF THE SQUAD FOR THE WHOLE TOURNAMENT AS STEVEN GERRARD TOOK PLACE OF THE CAPTAINCY CHARGE AND HE REALLY DID HIS BEST BUT NEVER GOOD ENOUGH AS HIS TEAM MEMBERS WERE NOT REALLY AT THEIR BEST.ANOTHER FACTOR TO BE SAID FOR ENGLAND'S FLOP IS THE CAPTAINCY..WHAT IM TRYING TO PROVE HERE IS THAT WHEN U GIVE MORE PRESSURE ON A PLAYER WHO IS ALREADY FULL OF SO MANY PRESSURE AROUND HIM,THINGS TEND TO MAKE HIM MORE TENSED AND MAKE THINGS EVEN WORSE AND THE TEAM WILL SURELY RUN OUT OF FORM..STEVEN GERRARD IS ALREADY A WORLD CLASS PLAYER FULL OF PRESSURE AROUND HIM,AND THEREFORE HANDING THE CAPTAINCY BAND TO HIM WILL MAKE THE PRESSURE MOUNT LIKE A READY TO EXPLODE VOLCANO..HAHAZ..THEREFORE,I SERIOUSLY THINK THAT THE CAPTAINCY BAND SHOULD BE GIVEN TO PLAYER THAT HAS VERY LESS PRESSURE AND LESS BURDEN..FOR EXAMPLE,ASHLEY COLE CAN BE THE CAPTAIN....NOW I'LL JUST BRIEF THROUGH SOME OF THE MOMENTS IN THE WORLD CUP THAT ENGLAND HAD TO FACE...THEIR FIRST GROUP STAGES MATCH WAS AGAINTS USA,WHERE THEY DREW 1-1...ENGLAND'S MOST FAVOURITE MAN,STEVEN GERRARD OPENED THE SCORING IN THE 4TH MINUTE AND IT GAVE THEM A HUGE SIGHT OF BELIEF,BUT ENDED UP CONSIDING A SLOOPY GOAL WHIC WAS AN ERROR BY ROBERT GREEN...IT WAS A DEVASTATING END TO THE MATCH AS ENGLAND WAS ACTUALLY SUPPOSE TO WIN BUT DREW..HMMMM..THEIR SECOND MATCH WAS AGAINTS ALGERIA...HMMMM...WHAT CAN I SAY?..IT WAS SUCH A POOR GAME EVER PLAYED BY ENGLAND,I GUESS?..:P...AND FINALLY IT CAME TO THE LAST GAME OF THE GROUP STAGES,IN WHICH THEY HAD TO WIN TO QUALIFY TO THE NEXT ROUND{ROUND OF 16}..THEY PLAYED SLOVENIA,AND THANK GOD THEY WON THE GAME,BUT ONLY A VERY VERY NARROW ONE,BEATING THEM1-0,SCORED BY JERMAINE DEFOE..ALL WERE SMILES IN ENGLAND;S FACES WHEN THEY WERE QUALIFIED TO THE NEXT ROUND AND THAT SMILES NEVER LASTED LONG AS THEY HAD TO FACE GERMANY AND THE WORST THING IS THAT,THEY LOST 1-4...GOALS WERE SCORED BY MULLER,WHO SCORED DOUBLE,MIROSLAV KLOSE AND LUKAS PODOLSKI...WELL,MATTEW UPSON GAVE A GLIMMER OF HOPE FOR ENGLAND AS HE HIT ONE GOAL BACK WITH A GREAT HEADER BUT ITWAS NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO COMPETE WITH THE GERMANS...GERMANS PLAYED SUPERB FOOTBALL AS THE OUTCLASSED THE ENGLISH SIDE..WELL,THE SAD PART HERE IS THAT,THE GOAL BY FRANK LAMPARD WAS NOT GIVEN AS IT DID EVENTUALLY CROSSED THE LINE BUT SURPRISINGLY NOT GIVEN...HAHAZ..WELL,ENGLANDS HOPE OF LIFTING THE WORLD DANTED THIS TIME AND LETS SEE HOW THEY PERFORM NEXT TIME AROUND....
