What's the basis for the optimism? They couldn't beat the weakest team in the group (Algeria) so why should they be able to beat Slovenia (who were able to beat Algeria). I don't hold out any hope for them. I think Capello's tactic of not telling even the players who's made the next team is a bad idea. How can that make for a relaxing stress-free preparation when you have no idea if the coach wants you in the next game and only tells you 2 hours before the game. Crazy. Why does he insist on sticking with 4:4:2 also? None of the players regularly play 442 in their team games in the premier league.
Let's hope so, but I won't be expecting them to be fine. Already took my flag down. Now I'm going to enjoy the rest of the World Cup in the same way as I had to enjoy Euro 2008 (without expecting anything from England (mainly because they weren't in it
)).

Are you serious with both of your answers? WHO ON EARTH DOESNT KNOW WHAT AN AMP DOES.
JUST DROP IT.
back to topic, 2 retired international referees commented on Cannal + and Al Jazira, said that numerous fouls should not have been Yellow cards for both teams(Germany VS Serbia).
The referee was giving yellow cards like giving candy on Halloween.

A shirt tug is a penalty. Now its a different matter on how strictly the ref applies this rule. However, I will admit that De Rossi sure made a scene out of it. But technically it was a penalty.
