Sir Alex Ferguson insists Michael Owen should not abandon all hope of featuring in his fourth World Cup finals next summer. Although Owen did take up an invite to attend England’s victory over Belarus at Wembley on Wednesday, his chances of making Fabio Capello’s 23-men squad for South Africa appear remote. (more…)
With England already qualifying top in Group 6 for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, head coach Fabio Capello has opened up in the media about the importance of his team being able to play differing styles of football dependent on who the opponent is.
After naming his 24 man roster with Monday night’s Villa vs City match still on the table, England head coach Fabio Capello has had to make two adjustmens to his squad after both Joleon Lescott (calf) and Paul Robinson (hip) pulled up injured after the 90 minutes.
Fabio Capello left out a recovered Theo Walcott, an in form Darren Bent and an alledgedly injured Ben Foster just to name a few… But with his England squad set for Qualifiers rather than Friendlies, things become much more cut throat when it’s time to name his 24 man roster.

Accoring to The Mirror, Jose Mourinho has said Fabio Capello knows nothing about football because Capello said in an interview last week that Inter “has” to win the Champions League this year.
Without naming the England manager, the former Chelsea boss said: “In this Champions League, there are a lot of teams who have already got a settled team like Barcelona, Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal. Then there is Inter, who have a big squad but the team is still under construction. It is like this for Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. Last season, none of the Italian teams did well but I don’t think that this year it will go as badly. But whoever says that Inter ‘have’ to win the Champions League knows nothing about football, and in the place of ‘nothing’ I could use much stronger words.”
