This reminds me of a colleagues wife who got rushed into hospital, heavily pregnant, her and the baby was at risk. My colleague said he was leaving to go to the hospital but the managers reaction was “hhmmm not sure about that, we don’t have any cover”(we did). My colleague left but the manager would not stop calling him through the afternoon and evening to find out what training he did with a new graduate that started that week. I even tried to put things into prospective for the manager saying “I think he’s more concerned about the life of his wife and unborn child.” Still didn’t land. Their reaction “Yeah. We really need to know how far he’s got with this training.” Safe to say the whole team lost respect for this manager pretty quickly. We’re all human at the end of the day.

[@XexJJ051301]

@lcjh even if so, as a human you should have enough respect for others to let them do what’s most important for them. Fair enough about Capello asking about training, maybe he thought there was a possibility than Ben would stay. But then to lie to Ben and say he would play, and then not even play him for a minute, was just cruel. He was toying with Ben and using the promise of a cap, which is one of life’s prides as a footballer, as a means of keeping Ben away from his family. I think that’s what OP is referring to.

[@paulie-g]

Italian culture is different. In the grand scheme of things, it is actually unusual for men to be present for the birth across the world. It's nothing more than cultural insensitivity. Fozzy has said that he wasn't prepared to live solely for football, hence why he didn't make it at ManU, and that's fine, but it's also fine if a national team coach expects that of his players. Banning ketchup seems small-time and trivial, especially given it's unlikely to have much influence in an international break, but one could also reasonably argue that if playing for your national team is truly a proud experience for you as Foz claims, you might deal with not having condiments for a few days. Capello was rubbish, but this wasn't the reason why.

[@cockoffgewgle4993]

@Boring Name They hadn't won it the 3 previous years. It wasn't the Galacticos, it wasn't a great squad at all by Real standards. He was the 1 season and won the league lol. International football is semi-retirement. Have you considered he didn't want another job? England are a joke. It's hilarious watching them fail horribly at every single tournament. They haven't beaten a big country in a knockout game at a tournament since 1996 kek. And European qualifying for tournaments is a joke. There's no point to the England football team's exisence.

[@cockoffgewgle4993]

@Boring Name It's very relevant when you implied it was an easy job which guaranteed success. You also wrongly said it was the Galactico era, which it wasn't. It was the post-Galactico era, the squad was an ageing, disjointed wreck. He literally said when he took over England that it would be his last job lol. His record speaks for itself. Unlike Foster's, who was an average player who accomplished nothing significant. Why would a manager from a big footballing country have any affinity for another footballing country? England were stupid enough to hire a foreign manager who couldn't even speak their language because they were so desperate and there was such a dearth of good managers in their country. They're simple facts. And I'm not sure you can be prejudiced or xenophobic against your own country lol. Italy, France, Portugal (x2), Argentina, Uruguay, Croatia, Brazil, Germany. Every single time we meet a decent side in the knockouts we lose. And Barcelona had Messi, Eto'o, Ronaldinho, Xavi, Deco, Iniesta, Puyol etc.

The story doesn't quite add up. His last cap with Capello was a friendly where he started and played the whole match against France in Nov 2010. Before that there were 3 Euro quali matches where he did stay on the bench, but England was still fighting for first place and if he's referring to the last match against montenegro there's now way a manager would waste 1/3 subs for the goalie at halftime. Going back to the list of call ups, the previous friendly match where he stayed on the bench was a friendly against Slovenia in May '09 and after that he got called up again and even started for two matches (WC quali with Belarus, friendly with Brazil) on top of the match with France.
