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....

Agreed 100%. I'm tired of the rotating door of managers, but Fabio didn't do a good job and needs to be held accountable.
I'm starting to believe Heskey will play for England forever. Even when he's 50 they'll bring him along and no one in the world will understand why.
