England were taught a complete footballing lesson last night. FFS they could hardly get a touch. Alonso was excellent, Xavi and Iniesta were even better - ball retention was unbelievable.
In fairness England were missing the spine of the side - Ferdinand, Gerrard and Rooney, who would have made a massive difference, but even still I couldn't have seen them winning.
England will not win anything until they get the goalkeeping position sorted. Unfortunately James is NOT the answer. He is completely unreliable, but England are really stuck for options. Downing is never International class, Heskey never was and Carlton Cole... don't make me laugh.
That said, calling for Capello's head is a disgrace. He will do a good job, but unfortunately for him I can't see him winning a major trophy, he just doesn't have the players.
