james has always been a quality shot-stopper, problem is he has these funny five minutes where he does something totally stupid. kind of like barthez except less intentional. i'd still prob play him first choice for now, but we'll see. got some good youngsters coming through, i don't think it's a position we really need to worry about.
i've already lost all confidence in capello though, i won't be happy 'til there's a major clearout. my ideal team would be something like:
james
richards terry rio ________
bentley barry j cole young
rooney walcott/agbonlahor
i wish we had better players on the left, no idea who to play at left back these days. same old story there. cole and bridge can get fucked. i'm not that confident in young yet but he deserves more of a chance, and christ, he's better than downing. i guess j cole could play left wing in which case i'd maybe put hargreaves in the middle. just as long as neither gerrard or lampard are playing i'm happy. and crouch, god, anyone but crouch. becks i would use as a super sub.
anyway let's stop talking about that shit and focus on the euros; i can't wait for tomorrow. im literally bouncing up and down thinking about it. i might miss some of the first match as well, ughh. my prediction is:
semis:
germany vs. czech republic
france vs. italy
final:
france vs. germany
winners: france
We won. Which is better than McClaren did half the time.
