England Euro 2012 Profile: Review of England's team, coach and more
Whether they play good or bad, England are sure to attract the media’s attention at the 2012 European Championship hosted by Poland and Ukraine.
How England qualified for Euro 2012
The Three Lions went through the Euro Cup qualifiers unbeaten under the guidance of Fabio Capello. They netted 17 goals and conceded just 5 in their 8 matches. Montenegro and Switzerland gave them the biggest scare. The former stole 4 points away from England through a goalless encounter at Wembley and a 2-2 draw in Podgorica.
That game in Montenegro saw Wayne Rooney get in serious trouble. The Manchester United striker lost his mind and got sent off with a rash retaliation on a Montengran opponent. His direct red card offense means that England will have to do without his services on the first 2 Matchdays of the competition.
John Terry's racism trial makes Premier League suspend pre-match handshakes
The English Premier League have decided to retain the traditional ritual due to legal purposes.
Pre-match team handshakes will be suspended prior to Sunday's match between Chelsea and Queens Park Rangers at Stamford Bridge.Terry, the captain of Chelsea, is accused of racially abusing QPR defender Anton Ferdinand during a Premier League game in October and due to this the EPL believed it was best to retain team handshakes.
"The Premier League position on the pre-match handshake convention remains consistent. In all normal circumstances it must be observed," the Premier League announced in an official statement.
Capello quits England: Redknapp, John Terry & the Euro 2012 chances
The John Terry saga has affected the future of the entire English national team. Fabio Capello is gone, Harry Redknapp’s appointment is perhaps just a matter of time and Euro 2012 is around the corner…
When Capello heard that John Terry had been stripped by the FA from his England captaincy due to the on-going race row involving Anton Ferdinand, he told Rai1:“I do not agree with that decision. I also talked with the chairman, saying that I think Terry can't be sanctioned until a court, a civil court not the sport one, judge him guilty or not about what he is accused of. That's why I think Terry should keep the captaincy.”
These public comments eventually provoked the FA’s anger. It was understood that Fabio Capello had breached his contract by openly criticizing England’s Football Association. Upon request, the Italian man attended a meeting on Wednesday with general secretary Alex Home and FA chairman David Bernstein. Moments later, the manager’s resignation hit the headlines.
John Terry at the center of bad news ahead of Chelsea vs Manchester United
Claims that John Terry racially abused Anton Ferdinand have led to intense distraction at Stamford Bridge as Chelsea and Manchester United prepare to lock horns.
The issue of racism continues to rage in English football as a man has been charged for making racist comments during Tuesday night’s Manchester United vs Stoke City match against some of the away players. The fan, identified as 57-year-old Howard Hobson, is in the headlines for all the wrong reasons. Hobson will go to court on Wednesday.News related to John Terry, however, is making more noise across the globe. The Chelsea skipper has been stripped from his England captaincy following David Bernstein’s decision to do so. According to the media in England, the FA chairman communicated the news to Terry via a phone call. A statement by the FA explained:
Why England captain John Terry must receive the same (or worse) treatment as Luis Suarez
Liverpool striker Luis Suarez was handed an eight game ban by the English Football Association yesterday, for racially abusing Manchester United defender Patrice Evra.
There was no video evidence backing the FA’s decision, and Liverpool have complained about the decision seeming to be based largely on the word of Patrice Evra.While Liverpool have a justified gripe in that regard, it is hard to feel sorry for Suarez, a man who is currently under another investigation for aiming an abusive hand gesture toward Fulham fans, and has previously been convicted for biting an opponent while playing for AFC Ajax. After his infamous handball during the 2010 World Cup, it is also unlikely that Suarez has many sympathizers in Ghana after his latest incident.
Suarez has had his supporters during this case, but some of the people defending him have stooped to a pathetic level while doing so.
Why Retaining Chelsea’s John Terry as England Captain is Poor Leadership from Fabio Capello
Frank Lampard will be handed the England captaincy for only the second time in is career against world champions Spain this weekend.
This will be Lampard’s 90th game for his country, and the veteran midfielder has netted 22 goals for the Three Lions. He also won the England national team Player of the Year award in 2004 and 2005.While Lampard’s career on the field for England merits the honor of captaincy, sadly this game will be just another chapter in the poor leadership of Fabio Capello.
Regardless of how well Lampard leads the team against Spain, Capello has already said that John Terry will be reinstated as captain for the game against Sweden.
That is the same John Terry who has previously been axed as captain when Capello wanted to send the message that off-field behavior counted for something in the dressing room. Clearly that is not the case with Capello, and it is starting to seem more like a case of keeping Terry happy in order to keep control of the team.
Under Fire Chelsea Captain John Terry Set to Lead Blues into Battle Against Arsenal
England captain John Terry has found himself at the heart of yet another media storm this week as QPR defender Anton Ferdinand accused him of using racist language.
It is not the first time Terry has landed himself in trouble on or off the field, and it is a safe bet it will not be his last.In his storied career Terry has landed in hot water for;
• Striking a nightclub doorman with a bottle.
• Cheating on his now wife with nine different women.
• Selling guided tours of the Chelsea training ground and keeping the money himself without the club’s knowledge.
• Urinating on a nightclub dance floor, and finally getting drunk and being offensive to American tourists the night of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
The above list does not mention arguably his most famous indiscretion, when he tore apart the England dressing room by again cheating on his wife, this time with the mother of teammate and former best friend Wayne Bridge’s children.
England vs Switzerland: No Captaincy Issues With Rio - John Terry
John Terry believes that nothing regarding the captaincy issue is still within him and Ferdinand ahead of England's match against Switzerland
John Terry was reinstated as captain prior to England's qualifying match against Wales two months ago due to Ferdinand's constant absence in the national team because of injuries. That decision came under fire from many sources but Terry is confident that there is no grudges between him and Ferdinand as they prepare to face the Swiss tomorrow.Terry said: ''Things are not uncomfortable between us, not at all. Rio has got an awful lot to give in the dressing room anyway which he naturally will, like the (other) older players in the squad.
Chelsea Vs Manchester United: 5 Players Who Could Make A Difference For The Blues
As we prepare for a blockbuster clash between Chelsea and Manchester United at the Bridge, Live Soccer TV previews the five players who could make a difference for the Blues.
The titanic clash between Chelsea and Manchester United this Wednesday will definitely live up to its expectations like it has always done prior to this. This match represents a huge lot of things for both teams who have had two different seasons so far. Chelsea will be looking to salvage an already down falling season that has seen them drop away from the title race for the Premier League. Massive amount of money were spent last January when the likes of Fernando Torres and David Luiz were brought in to bolster their squad ranks.
Nevertheless, the importance of this match is rather unquestionable for Chelsea. Do they have what it takes to succeed? Live Soccer analyses five key players who will be important for the Blues.
England vs Ghana: Why Only Ghanaian Fans Can Be Angry At Capello’s Idea
Capello has let down millions of fans around the world with his second-string team idea ahead of England vs Ghana. But Live Soccer TV explains why only Ghanaians have the right to worry that much.
So English fans are expressing their concerns at having paid so much money to see reserve players filling the positions of the Three Lions’ top stars, and do they have a point? Certainly, they do. But in a sense, should it matter that much? The home crowd at Wembley is used to witnessing unimpressive performances from England and responding to poor displays with boos has even become a routine. The average fan may agree with me that the best way to ignore the huge price of a match ticket is to be treated with a great performance by the players on the pitch.
"You Boo Our Anthem, We Teach You A Lesson", says John Terry After 2-0 Win Over Wales
England captain John Terry has stated that the booing of their national anthem by the Welsh supporters inspired them to a 2-0 victory over Wales today.
England were given a hostile reception by the Welsh supporters ahead of kick-off as they booed the national anthem of England. However, John Terry has now admitted that the booing was probably the influential factor behind their important victory.“It’s not nice [hearing the national anthem being booed],” he told Sky Sports.
“It’s our national anthem and we’re proud of it and when you’ve got a stadium booing it can have the reverse effect for them because it definitely gets you pumped.
“Naturally you’re pumped up for the game anyway but when you hear fans booing the national anthem it does give you an extra boost.”
Wales vs England Preview
England will travel to face British rivals Wales in an important Euro 2012 Qualifier at the Millennium Stadium on Saturday.
England are currently three points behind group leaders Montenegro with a game in hand, and will go top of Euro 2012 Qualifying Group G with a victory in Cardiff. Wales currently sit at the foot of the table and will be looking for their first point.Striker Robert Earnshaw has withdrawn from the Wales squad due to injury, while star winger Gareth Bale is ruled out with a hamstring problem. Bale is the only player to have scored for Wales in their three qualifying games so far.
Aaron Ramset will play his first game for Wales in over a year after returning from a horrific leg break. Ramsey will likely go head to head in central midfield against his Arsenal club-mate Jack Wilshere.
Wales Vs England: Capello Was Wrong In Stripping Me Off England Captaincy - Terry
Re-elected England captain John Terry has publicly said that he believes Capello made the wrong decision in taking away the England captaincy from him.
John Terry was removed as England's captain last year after he allegedly has an affair with Wayne Bridge's partner. Rio Ferdinand was then granted the armband but the latter missed the World Cup in South Africa because of an injury and has rarely featured for the Three Lions since then with injuries contributing to his problems this season.Consequently, Fabio Capello decided to handover the captain's armband to the Chelsea captain once again after claiming that he wanted someone who can feature more consistently.
Wales Vs England: Bellamy Doesn't Know Me Well Enough, says Terry
John Terry has hit out at Craig Bellamy's public questioning of his character, while insisting that he has always been "a down to earth guy".
John Terry was stripped off his captaincy for England last year after allegedly having an affair with Wayne Bridge's partner- something that Bellamy criticized last year by saying: "Everybody knows what John Terry is like."After 'serving his sentence', John Terry has now been re-elected as the permanent captain of England and he will be facing Craig Bellamy for the first time in 13 months when England take on Wales this Saturday.
Astonishingly, Bellamy is now once again involved in a media spat with the England national team, after claiming that the England players are afraid of their ever-demanding supporters. However, John Terry refused to be drawn into another debate with Bellamy, while insisting that the Welshman doesn't really know him well enough.
John Terry’s Reappointment As England’s Captain: Is Anyone Concerned?
Wales vs England will be John Terry's first match in charge as England's captain since losing the armband back in February last year.
When Fabio Capello formally introduced John Terry as England’s new captain to the rest of the squad, no one voiced their concerns. John Terry is unrepentant of the controversies that saw him stripped from England’s captaincy, perhaps because he draws a line between his career and his private life. Before the 2010 World Cup, Fabio Capello’s permanent skipper choice became the source of jeers worldwide against the dignity of the Three Lions. In fact, his reported affair with Wayne Bridge’s former girlfriend hit the media at the fury of Capello who subsequently relieved Terry from his captain duties.
Chelsea vs Manchester United: Chelsea Players To Watch
As our coverage on the Chelsea vs Manchester United match in the Premier League continues, Live Soccer TV brings you statistics and facts on the Chelsea players to watch in the clash.
Petr Cech
Cech is actually not having the best of moments in his career right now. The highly-esteemed goalkeeper has conceded 22 goals in 26 Premier League starts for Chelsea, but he also has 74 saves on his account. Impressive or not, he is expected to protect the Blues’ post against Manchester United this evening, and this means nothing but danger and a warning for the Red Devils’ Wayne Rooney and Dimitar Berbatov.
John Terry
John Terry is the one who got the first and last goal in the last Chelsea vs Manchester United match in the Premier League. It was his second-half winning header which silenced the Mancunians at the Stamford Bridge at the beginning of last season. Away from his ability to score important headers, Terry can be regarded as the rock of Chelsea’s defense. He has so often been the main helper in the Blues’ defense against the league leaders. This time around, he could well show his greatness on another occasion by helping Petr Cech to keep a clean sheet. Presumably, a goal from the English captain would be more than ideal, but this might not be Terry’s priority, as his tasks at the back are unbelievably massive.
Chelsea Vs Manchester United: Only The Result Will Matter - John O'Shea
Manchester United defender John O'Shea has admitted that Tuesday's clash with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge is all about the result; not the performance.

However, John O'Shea has stated that Manchester United are well prepared ahead of this fixture and they have the ability to remain at the top of the table for the rest of the season.
Chelsea’s JT: Must-Win Manchester United Match Could Lead To EPL Crown

"They're playing well and picking up points at a crucial time. That would be disastrous for the football club if we don't qualify for the Champions League. It's even hard to get my head around it now.''
He added: "That's what we've still got at the football club, hunger and desire. We missed out on the Premier League for three years when Man United won it, and it hurt. That's what I lose sleep over, watching other teams lift trophies, because I want to be the one lifting trophies for this football club.''
