Drama, Oh..Drama

One by one European football team packed up their suitcase and heading home from South Africa where the World Cup final round being held. France, Greece, Algeria, Slovenia, Serbia, Denmark, and Switzerland were crumbled down by the domination of South America which was way too strong this time. And last night, England added the list after got hammered by Germany 4-1, what a humiliation for the country as England national team was never been conceded by any other team internationally more than 2 goals.
Here is the thing, English team was supposed to be one of the biggest team in the world as they have so many great players individually. But, a fact was, the team seemed to have a problem finding a great manager. And now that they have Capello as a manager, there's no different whatsoever. As a manager, I don't know, I think Capello had trouble to find a great tactic that suit the players as a team. Their draw against USA on their first game in South Africa with the goalkeeper's blundered was unforgivable for such a big team like them. Their performance in this World Cup was a huge disappointment in so many ways. Including last night when they got butchered by Germany. Fact, that Germany got advantage from a wrongful judgement by the linesman which disallowed Lampard clear shot which miles in before the German goalkeeper punched the ball out, but still, their performance was unbearable. For such a big team, it's so normal if we expected more than that. But everything about England last night was disappointing. Even Beckham's hair wasn't look that great either last night! Hah!
Again, the fools were not only belong to the players. Since the beginning, I couldn't understand why did Capello played Defoe up at the front together with Rooney? I mean, even me, knew that the gap between those two was way too big. Defoe couldn't provide any high balls which Rooney needed to scores. If I were him (Capello), I would've put Crouch instead. Upson, who were scored for England last night, was no different. I would've put Carragher instead. But, all in, the three lions team made fool of themselves last night. Not to mention their lack of fighting spirits. Seriously, I screamed so loud when 5 minutes to stopped time, the stupid defender back passed the ball to James, the goalkeeper. Come on, you were like 3 goals behind and only have 5 minutes time left, then why didn't you kick the ball as far as you can so your striker can do something about it? Aaaaaarrrgh!! So frustrating! And even more joke for your entertainment was when Capello took Defoe out (finally...duh!) but replaced him with Sean Wright-Phillips! OMG, what for? Just because he was never been play in the World Cup yet so Capello decided to gave him a chance? What a wasted! Maybe if he listened to me and put Crouch in, the story would be different. So when I watched the news this morning, I couldn't stop laughing as the headlines said that Capello is trying to hang on to his job. I mean, seriously?
