Inglise koondise tegemisi

[marv3llous]

Ta pole mu lemmik, aga parem kui teised küll. Inglismaa fänn pole ma ammugi mitte, pigem üks ebasümpaatsemaid koondiseid niiet tegelt suht pohhui kes võetakse ja kes mitte.

Sest Barry ja Parker olemas juba.

[Wingback]

Terry tulekski koondisest välja jätta.

Järgmine kolmapäev vist pidavat esialgne valik avalikustatama.

Varastan f365 lugejakirja. Üks tore mees oli juba pannud kirja tabloidide kriitika võimaliku koondise valiku osas:

Guide To Criticising Hodgson's Squad Selection
Captain: if someone who has been captain before, "predictable". If not, "wrong".

Average age of squad over 26: too old, over-reliance on the failed so-called "golden generation".

Average age of squad under 26: inexperienced/ruining our chances for the Olympics (I forget whether we care about this or not).

Goalkeepers:
Joe Hart: obvious choice and deserves no credit.
Rob Green: plays for a championship club. Only selected due to failure to persuade anyone else out of retirement, ergo poor man-management.
Ben Foster: nepotism.

Right back:
Failure to take all of Micah Richards, Glen Johnson, Kyle Walker, Phil Jones and Chris Smalling constitutes a decision, and therefore automatically a risky/wrong one.

Left back:
Ashley Cole: obvious, deserves no credit.
If a back-up is selected: unnecessary, waste of a squad place (cf. Stephen Warnock). If not: short-sighted.

Centre back:
Failure to persuade Rio and Terry to play together is poor man-management. Success is "too risky".

Central Midfield:
Gerrard: make reference to Hodgson's time at Liverpool and cast doubt on ability to get a performance out of him.
Lampard: too similar to Gerrard. If not picked, make unflattering AVB comparisons.
Scott Parker: would certainly perform better if 'Arry was manager
Carrick/Barry: boring.
Scholes: if picked, desperate. If not picked, a missed opportunity
Anyone else: an unknown quantity.

Wings:
Joe Cole: if not picked, point out that he has been playing brilliantly in France. If picked, point out that he has been rubbish in France. No-one will bother to check either way.
Ashley Young: if picked, diver that will not fool continental referees, therefore a waste of space. If not picked, point to past goalscoring form and ability to win penalties.
Adam Johnson: if picked, has hardly played for Man City this season. If not picked, has hardly played for Man City this season and would have bought much-needed freshness to the squad.
Walcott: if picked, has only ever performed that one time against Croatia. If not picked, performed that one time against Croatia.
Stewart Downing: if picked, 0 goals 0 assists. If not picked, bemoan lack of natural left-footers in the squad.
Anyone who plays for Swansea: if picked, they play for Swansea, a small club. If not, harshly overlooked.

Strikers:
Rooney: if picked, waste of a squad place. We'll be out after 2 games anyway. If not picked, have "ROO-DICULOUS!!!" headlines on standby.
Andy Carroll: if picked, has been rubbish all season. If not, has been brilliant for the last two games.
Defoe: if picked, has not played all season. If not, gifted finisher, adds freshness to the squad, 'Arry would have picked him.
Crouch: if picked, exposes England's dearth of strikers. If not, think of the wonder-goal.
Sturridge/Welbeck: if picked, inexperienced. If not, robbing the future of English football of valuable tournament experience.

For tabloid journalists, this is a handy cut-out-and keep style guide. For anyone else, combine this with a copy of next Wednesday's Sun to form a potentially lethal drinking game.

See on lihtsalt brilliant.

[marv3llous]

täitsa OT. aga millal huvitav igasugu ägedaid laulukesi teemal "2012 tuleb ära" kuulda saab?

[marv3llous]

Gary Neville on nelja aastase lepinguga koondise abimeheks palgatud.

Gary Neville on nelja aastase lepinguga koondise abimeheks palgatud.

Jah, aga see pole tegelikult eriti oluline uudis. Olgu ta Neville, Beckham või Shearer - taolise tüübi eesmärgiks on olla ühelt poolt vajadusel ette suratav meedianägu ja teiselt poolt mängijate "oma poiss" suhetes kõrgema ešeloniga. Aitab Hodgsonil-Lewingtonil põhitööle pühenduda.

[mcnamara]

Homme teatab Hodgson koosseisu. Kas pilk on värske? Ruddy, Richards, Cleverley, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Sturridge, Holt, Carroll? Või minnakse Ferdinandi ja Terry, Milneri ja Carricki, Defoe ja Crouchi käidud, igavavõitu radadele.

ainus normaale tjuun mis englandi kohta leiutatud, on see bädšer, bädšer, bädšer... mis läks ingländ ingländ ingländ ingländ fuutboool fuuutbooool

ja siis siis oligi skoor england 644 other team 0

[rauulo]

ESPN Soccerneti andmetel on Hodgson Terryle ja Ferdinandile selgeks teinud, et turniirile sõidab neist vaid üks, ilmselt siis Ferdinand.

[marv3llous]

Sky räägib just vastupidi - Rio jääb välja. Ning Kyle Walker pidada vigane olema ja jääb välja.

[vincent]

Guardianis samuti värske jutt.

Rio Ferdinand's broken relationship with John Terry may have ended his England career after Roy Hodgson decided to sacrifice the Manchester United defender from his Euro 2012 plans.

Hodgson contacted Ferdinand on Tuesday to inform him that he would not be including him in his squad for the tournament in Poland and Ukraine next month. The England manager then travelled to Chelsea's training ground where he met Terry for the first time since taking the job and spoke at length to him and the club's other England internationals about his plans for the competition.

Kuigi pigem sai ilmselt saatuslikuks ikkagi see, et Royl pole tema tervisesse usku. Briti ajakirjandusele keerutamiseks loomulikult mõõtmatult igavam teema. Pakun, et pärast turniiri lõppu (kui mitte kohe) tuleb ka Rio teade koondisest loobumise kohta.


e: ses mõttes on nüüd muidugi huvitav, et kelle ta siis veel kaasa võtab. Terry, Lescott, Cahill peaks selged nimed olema. Jones saab võimaluse? Igavam (aga mitte halvem) valik oleks muidugi Jagielka.

e2: tõepoolest, Walkeril on varbaluu katki ja jääb sõitmata. Kahju mehest.
