Building a future - England v Hungary 11th August 2010

Went to the England friendly vs Hungary last night. Had a good time but was a bit disappointed with all the booing.

I can totally see why the fans would be upset and want to boo the team after a poor world cup. I just cant understand why you would go all the way to see a new England side and boo probably the best player in the world cup for England.
Ashley Cole is not very liked for cheating on his wife and pop star Cheryl, but surely it shouldn't have anything to do with his football. He is a great player and probably the best left back in the world. Most people just wanted to boo him and John Terry.

The players who didn't deserve to be there and have had their chances over the years are Frank Lampard and Gareth Barry. If Fabio Capello wants to make a statement he should leave them out of the team.

I couldn't wait to see a couple of players play. Adam Johnson was the main one and looks like a very special player. He is one of the only one who uses skill moves to beat players or gain that bit of space to dribble pass, shoot or Cross the ball.

Also wanted to see Jack Wilshere play on the night and was disappointed he didn't get very long.

However I do think Kieran Gibbs will be a good player and can certainly be very good cover for Ashley Cole.

My view on the England set up is that we should be building a team for the future. With the players coming though I don't think they will be ready to win a major tournament in Euro 2012.

What Capello and The FA should do is be straight with the public and say they are going to build a team for the 2014 World Cup. Drop all the old players apart from maybe Steven Gerrard and Ashley Cole and build a team that would have had the match practice and experience needed to compete in a major Tournament.

I honestly think the English public would respect that and wouldn't be so upset if we don't qualify for Euro 2012, knowing we are building for 2014
