Man-nipples aplenty on the Algerian side

So while everyone analyses Fabio Capello’s formation and team tactics, let’s face it, as much as we all want England to win, screaming at the TV just won’t help. Neither will booing.

Sunday’s match was like watching a dog chasing its tail, and so naturally my eyes also began to wander away from the ball. If you haven’t already realised, I’m a girl. So here’s an alternative take on England v Algeria.

Okay, first let’s get the tit-tat out the way. Was it only me who noticed the Algerian’s teams football kit? Say hello to nipples! And while their t-shirts were super tight, their shorts were so loose I was worried we might see something a little inappropriate. Saying that, it would have made the match more exciting!

I’ll admit, I am no footie-guru. The off side rule means nothing to me. But I was kitted out in all things England – my flag, mini vuvuzela, and even an England earring. There was an immense amount of pressure and hype surrounding the match, especially after England’s game against US wasn’t the team we were all expecting. But the feeling afterwards was pure frustration. The players might have been playing, but there was no teamwork. Manager Capello, who’s English is minimal, was going nuts from the sidelines. And it was only a matter of time before he started looking like Mr Bean.

On a serious point, if you only tell your team that they are playing hours before, nerves will kick in. (Note to Capello: don’t keep the guys in limbo)

So what does England need to do ahead of the game on Wednesday? Well, one thing is for sure – they need to score some goals. Get their mojo back. They are all top players, but if they don’t work together they will be coming home.   And then maybe Capello should re-think his reasoning into why the WAGs were banned from the World Cup. Maybe the guys need some TLC. All this testosterone doesn’t seem to be doing any good at the moment.
