THE CHALLENGE OF CENTURION by John Carlin

As every week, Carlin is once again superb in "English corner".

"This was an inflexible maximum of Roman discipline than a good soldier should fear their officers more than the enemy."
Edward Gibbon, in History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire .

If England win the World Cup, which the English patriotism has become a huge possibility, there would be no choice: we would have to surrender to the evidence that coach Fabio Capello is the greatest of our times.

The challenge facing the England coach, winning almost everything with Real Madrid, AC Milan and Juventus, is to meet the desperate desire for fame in a country whose set of players is not remotely to the height-either at game, or moral or intellectual level of the English team, a clear favorite to lift the World Cup in South Africa in July. If the cup is the snatch England, most of the credit should be give to the Italian centurion, who automatically became the first person from his country to be awarded by Queen Elizabeth to the title of Sir. Would have achieved the impossible task of imposing order on a chaotic, to squeeze all the performance imaginable, and more from a bunch of crackpots.

John Terry was sacked as captain by Capello following his smack affair with former girlfriend and mother of the son of Wayne Bridge. Ashley Cole, who just broke his leg and is doubtful for South Africa, has been competing with Terry on the front pages of British tabloids with the news that she had slept with more women in one month and had sent more messages text porn pictures included, that Tiger Woods in his life. Which would not have been as interesting if not for the fact that he is married to the woman who has replaced Beckham and wife Victoria's most fascinating islands, the pop singer Cheryl Cole. Wayne Bridge is the natural replacement for Cole at left back, but Bridge has announced, to make matters worse Capello will not play for England while playing Terry, who refused to shake hands in a league match this weekend past. Carlos Tevez, the Argentine team-mate at Manchester City Bridge, gave an early Christmas gift to the tabloids this week by announcing that his country had been killed by such a betrayal .... Terry

Mexican telenovelas are short Big Brother is pure childish Standing beside reality show that gives us English football. Who will be the next player to explode? Who will be the new bad guy? "Rio Ferdinand, the brand new England captain, whose career abound nights drinking and carousing? "Wayne Rooney, the great white hope of English football, which has ample opportunity to delve into their curriculum Gulf given the fascination with the distant beaches of Barbados on his famous wife, Colleen?

Who knows? But something will come. With these guys, the farce is guaranteed. And on top, play bad. Against Egypt on Wednesday at Wembley ended up winning 3 to 1, but took up 75 minutes in early lead. During long periods of the first part the Pharaohs, who have not qualified for South Africa, I danced.

There are good players, of course. Rooney, the current top scorer European duopoly seriously threatens Cristiano Ronaldo, Leo Messi, the point is not ruled out that to walk away with this year's Ballon d'midfielder Frank Lampard is a road that marks many goals for Chelsea . Steven Gerrard, Liverpool, is a powerful player, although this season has given many signs of life. John Terry and Rio Ferdinand are a couple rocks in central defense. O have been: there have been worrying signs that Terry has affected psychologically tabloidero wear, and Ferdinand, whose mental strength is always in question, suffers injury after injury.

addition, no porter, and no companion for Rooney in attack and if Rooney is injured, goodbye and good night. The most serious is that, even with all about, is a team of idiots. The English are not only better, but people who are infinitely more strings and intelligent. Capello, who would give a kidney to get their ranks the starting lineup alternate English, faces the challenge of his life.
