The squad is more or less quite similar to Englands' last World Cup squad, which was lead by the rather boorish and un-enigmatic Swedish Coach, Sven Goran Ericsson. The difference this time around can be found in a fine balance between experience and youth. The core of the team are experienced players who can always be relied on to tap into their past Champions League and English Premier League experience. If the experience fails, there are a number of players that are there with their youthful exuberance and speed. Lennon replaces the ever so familiar David Beckham on the right wing, adding pace and creativity, opening up the middle for the likes of Gerrard and Rooney. At the back despite lacking Ferdinand, stands John Terry, Ashley Cole, and Jaime Carragher, all have the experience and know how to hold out the worlds best.
Having Capello at the helm of Team England seems to have settled alot of peoples nerves. A team has been built within his own strategic mind, which allows for tactics to be switched up and victories to be allotted. After all he was once terminated at Real Madrid by Del Bosque after Real Madrid won the Championship. Reason, the football was not exciting enough for Real Madrid. Meaning, this guy Capello, knows how to win, and he doesn't care how he does it, just so long as he collects another trophy by the end of the campaign.
With England just completing their final preparation match against the Platinum Stars and winning handily 3-0, Rooney being on the score sheet, all seems well at Camp England. So we wait anxiously, hearts pumping, hopes beaming and belief beginning to take over. It's coming home, we sing in our heads and hearts... Footballs' coming home!!
