Capello speaks like a tactical genius. Analysis is spot-on.

He didn't have the passion with England

Honestly, from what Ben Foster said about this guy, it did not come as a surprise that he failed miserably. He needs to learn how to be a human being before a football manager.

[@trevorbillings8641]

Ben Foster in that same video basically said that friendly matches were meaningless. Rio said Foster lacked the winning mentality at Manchester United and it comes across in his podcasts, as well. Ben seems like a nice guy, but there are two sides to every story.

[@hannibalbarca2871]

I will take the word of a Capello over a Foster ANY DAY and ANY DECADE...He failed miserably? LMAO Have you looked at his resume? The problem is a lot of you are too sensitive and don't have the mentality of winners... Funny you

Ben foster and nothing to stand on lol capello a high level manager think I’ll listen to him buddy 😂

[@patchh15]

lol? Capello's career speaks for itself mate. What are you, 12? Or are you a brexit kind of guy?

[@scouseraph]

England won't win anything with Southgate he's too negative and tactically inept. The talent England has and still they struggle to win tournaments even playing at home and having the easiest cup run EVER to the final. Even Southgate selecting 12 defenders and 5 mids is evidence of how negative he is tactically. England should be winning games scoring 4, 5 or 6+ but he plays defensive which is a total waste to the talent on the pitch.

[@chrisojala1207]

Yet another who rates Tomori so highly. Should be a starter.

[@scouseraph]

Southgate has his favourites who he selects regardless of form or even if they are playing for their clubs like Shaw and Maguire who can't even get a game at utd. Players like Tomori and Harvey Elliott who are playing great football can't even get an opportunity to shine.

[@HarryKanee]

No because Maguire and stone's have a perfect understanding

We'll probably go out in the quarters to the first top level team we play as is tradition, except this time I'd actually fancy our chances against one or two of them, the South American teams are pretty overrated atm.

[@FPInvention]

didn't we beat germany, the ukraine and denmark last time around?

[@JM-mq5kq]

@@FPInvention Yes and I hope we do just as well this time, but the past couple of tournaments have been the exception, not the rule. Though we have more of a chance against the top teams than we've had in a long, long time.

[@LorenzoVonMatta]

I remember it like it was yesterday. He was not very good at all for England. The football was not fluid and there was no room for flexibility. Gerrard, Rooney, Ben Foster and others have mentioned similar things in their respected bios, channels. He could not communicate effectively due to his level in English and he was far too strict. Good manager but a bad fit. Even for Real Madrid he was a bad fit, only used there for short term despite success. Every single tournament, except for the previous World Cup, I've seen England (fans, pundits, journalists) claim that they will win, can win etc. I like England, but they haven't won for decades. I mean, does anyone here remember watching the 1966 world cup? So, why is this still happening? Lol. But instead, a more humble approach of trying to go deep in tournaments, taking one game at a time should be the mantra (despite how boring it may sound, cliché). Not crazy expectations after winning all qualification games and thinking "we're going to win" or a complete meltdown the other way after a draw with Scotland for example. Football is a beautiful game. But it's also a crazy one. Players who are heroes today, are suddenly villains tomorrow...they can score at a final of a world cup to win it on top of the world, and then miss a decisive penalty in the next tournament against the Swiss and be labelled a bad player. Makes total sense. But having studied the football media in several countries, it's similar ("we can win") but at least other countries who have similar desires have won or have a history of consistently going deep in tournaments. Anything can happen in football. Just ask Denmark (1992), Greece(2004), Italy (2006 when no one thought they were good enough because of an "easy" run to the semi's), Wales 2016 semi's, Croatia 2018. Doesn't mean England will win it of course lol. Just means there's a chance...the same chance for several other teams.

Under Southgate we finished... 2018 World Cup - 4th 2019 Nations League - 3rd 2020 Euros - 2nd That's our 2nd best performance EVER in our entire history, Southgate is the 2nd best England manager we've ever had in terms of results in major tournaments. Under Capello we got knocked out in Round 16 of the 2010 World Cup. Don't forget how incredibly bad the atmosphere was around that time with England, none of the players wanted him there. He couldn't even speak English FFS! It was a disaster! McClaren deserves a shout for us failing to qualify for the 2008 Euros though.

Just one thing, why is the interviewer speaking to Cappello like hes in a care home?? ((back to the FA)) like much of every england manager ever wanted by the public never gets the job, Clough, Redknapp, instead england are paraded with these yes men types, establishment tools like Southgate, tools who are afraid of football because they played it as a time wrped centre back who smashed the ball out of the park in the six yard box! Hes not strong enough, he seaks a great game both in the PR dept and what people want to hear, but as for winning a tournament? he froze on the touchline in the euro final, he went missing, he looked bereft of ideas as his team of youngsters sank to a team they should have easily got a result against, their back four was older than the pyramids!

The fairytale of Leicester City when they won the Premier League back in 2016 and Liverpool's miraculous triumph after beating the strong AC Milan team in 2005 UCL Final might be a inspiration for England national team to achieve the second World title in Qatar. Also, my nation (Indonesia) will perform very better as England did, so keep dreaming.
