Glad to see England go out but anyways for those saying it wasn't Capello's fault, yes the players are very much to blame but also the squad selection and substitutions had a lot to do with the lack of success on the pitch. I'm no Defoe fan but come on bringing Heskey on for him when goals are desperately needed? Apparently he "links up well with Rooney," well neither of them did an effing thing this tournament besides Heskey's pass to Gerrard in the first 5 minutes of the tourney. And why did Joe Hart not get a sniff in net? He was clearly the best keeper of the 3 in the league this past season. Joe Cole was severely under-utilized too and I don't know why Wright-Phillips was anywhere near the squad. I would have played Dawson instead of Upson too, and probably wouldn't have even included Ledley King since he can never play 2 games back to back! And I think there are a few players who were left at home who could have really helped out this England team offensively....
