The England football score reinstates hope in our national team
The England football score at the weekend will have made up for some of the heartache we endured during our abysmal world cup campaign during our england fixtures and will have gone a long way to reinstating some much needed confidence that was clearly shattered after the demolition in the hands of Germany and instilled some much needed belief in our most patriotic of fans in the team and the manager. The fans, the team, the manager and the nation not only needed a win but an emphatic display and performance cumulating in a great result and that is exactly what the 11 men produced out on the field.
The game could have not started any better for the team as they exploded out of the box and before Bulgaria knew what had hit them, England were one up inside 3 minutes. Before the game there was a lot of talk about Capello sticking with his tried and failed 4-4-2 formation, this time however Rooney was given the free role behind the lone striker and what a difference it made. Seven of the men who took to the field had trudged of downhearted in Bloemfontein only months ago, yet this was a spirited performance with a distinct freshness and panache about the team. Lampard and Terry were not even missed and hopefully the manager will see that there is no place for Lampard in the England starting eleven, he can do it for club but not for country. Capello’s retribution against Terry may be starting to build, after what Terry did at the world cup and Capello confirming that Terry would regret his actions. You have to ask yourself, will we see Terry playing for England again?
Two stars of the show where without a doubt Hart and Walcott. Hart who didn’t even get a game at the world cup and Walcott not even travelling were outstanding throughout the game. However we shouldn’t jump around in euphoria just yet, as questions still hang over Capello’s head whether he is a good England manager but winning in Switzerland on Tuesday will go a long way to allowing him to carry out is role in some security. Yet every success will be met with a little scepticism until we line up at the European Championship and perform to the highest of our expectations.
