To be fair, you can't really say that - no-one actually knows yet although I will agree that he'd probably be a good choice. You never know, though, Redknapp may become a world-class England manager!Guus Hiddink for instance success!!!!
I wouldn't say it's all up to the parent to teach this. I have learnt a lot more from other people sometimes than I have from my parents. I know what you mean by 'they do not chose to be role models' but they have a massive contract, and even have imaging rights, so surely they should know how to behave?Its ok saying these people are role models but they do not chose to be role models and kids know the difference between right and wrong and its also up to the parents to teach them this.
What I don't get is, how hard it is for some football to just sit back and not do anything stupid. Swearing under your breath is fine in the heat of the moment, but no matter what racist or personal insults to other players are not.
True this, it's innocent until proven guilty.It's not a good example to kids to punish an innocent man, either.
Hairline fracture? Really? That is astonishing! He had a brilliant performance against the world champions anyway, but playing with an injury is even more impressive. Always rated Jags, and wanted us (Arsenal) to sign him in the summer!I admit was expecing a 2-0 or a 3-1 loss. But it was an awesome defensive display. Especially when taking into account Jags is playing with a hairline fracture. But Parker was just incredible. If this doesn't spur them on.... Expecting a similar display against Sweden. It's like I mentioned earlier-the second half just didn't feel like a friendly once we went 1-0 up. It's rare I enjoy friendly's but this one I did immensly.
It's a last chance to win a major competition for some players and on today's performance, they've pretty much acknowledged that. Too little too late? Remains to be seen. Hopefully not.
But I wouldn't get your hopes up - England sure have their days (Germany 1-5 England away) but somehow always manage to mess it up (only qualified for World Cup 2002 due to a last-minute Becks wondergoal). But I think this squad genuinely have the quality to win it, but it always seem that they never live up to the media hype and perform to the best of their abilities.
Tevez saga? Would you count that as 'role model duties'?The day a footballer gets dropped for not performing his 'role model' duties, will be a sad day for football.
Never rated Lescott, but he was brilliant today, I've got to admit. Did a good job marshalling the defence alongside Jagielka. Cole and Glen Johnson had good games overall, although I think they aren't as good as they used to be (Johnson is poor defensively and it seems he cannot attack anymore as well). Bring in Baines and Richards in Euro 2012 and we should have a chance of winning it.It was very good defensive effort from whole team especially Lescott and Parker. Lescott and Jags worked really well as a team, so did Cole. Only concern was RB who was neither good at defending nor attacking.
...Walcott/Johnson and Milner as wingers.
