Could it be anything to do with a split in the camp?
John Terry has the well publicised problems, revealed after his injunction is lifted, and has the captaincy removed.
Steven Gerrard doesn't have the captaincy removed despite an injunction hiding his indiscretion.
The camp then splits into JT and SG supporters.

They just didn't look like they wanted to be there...poor leadership on and off the field and no plan B if things started to go wrong... And I am sorry I have no problem with foreign managers but Capello should have far better English by now...how can he explain detailed tactics when he can still barely string a sentence together
The obvious answer is exactly as Steve says, but the Manager Crappello should have been sacked last month. He is hopeless, as rowanwitch says - he can hardly string a sentence together, how the hell does he explain tactics and plans to the players.
It is because of this lack of co-ordination that the players are so useless.
It will be interesting to see how it all goes this evening, although just a "friendly" and of no particular interest to anybody.

Hopkirk - there is no injunction, because there is no story, that story has been doing the rounds for two years. It started with an ex players daughter, then a couple of others and Alex Curan doesn't have a sister.
You will note that despite the story they are still toghether?
As for what went wrong bad leadership, wrong choice of players plus there was something clearly wrong with the chemistry and they played crap.
As for overpayment they play for clubs that earm 100's of millions per year and sell out week in week out. Those clubs wouldn'tt earn the money without the players.

I love to hear all this anti Capello garbage. How come we heard absolutely nothing of that throughout the qualification campaign? Nobody was complaining about his English, or his tactics, then, but as soon as it turns to ratsh*t he's suddenly the sole reason. How fickle can some people be? Talk about scapegoating.
Could it simply be that the pampered and overpaid peacocks on the pitch are just not up to the standard required? They qualified from one of the softest groups they were ever liable to get, there was disgraceful conduct amongst certain squad members, and the media had done their usual job of whipping the whole country into a frenzy that England were bound to be at least good enough to reach the final, if not to actually win it.
We had such luminaries as Sir Bobby Charlton declaring that England were all set to repeat 1966, and I listened to one extremely well known Sky football pundit declare immediately prior to the Germany debacle that the Germans were, quote "inferior players". That's the biggest problem where England's concerned - people allow themselves to become deluded into discounting other nations as being somehow only there to make up the numbers against an all conquering England team. Then, when the wheels come off, all we have are recriminations and blame apportioning, except the real culprits are rarely villified - the players who, through no fault of their own, have been placed on a pedastal where they do not deserve to be.
England are, and have been for some years, just another average team.
