Shearer a better manager than Capello? Do you talk rubbish on every topic seifer? This England team underperforms whether the manager is Hoddle, Keegan, Eriksson, McLaren and possibly now Capello. Maybe it's not the manager, maybe it's the players?

I said someone who could ignite passion and make the team work as a team and yes that man is much better than capello. I could do better than capello. I think the record so far in this tourney isn't exactly great is it.

So yes Shearer would do a better job. A manager isn't god you know, he can only work with the team, and any blind idiot can choose this team.

The problem with england is the passion and the confidence something this guy cannot instill. That isn't rubbish it is purely common sense.

Sven, Mclaren and capello all useless managers at getting Passion out of a team. 2 of them foreigners which isn't any good either.

Give me Shearer and when we are back here we will see how much different the team is, then you would soon shut up. The problem is your lack of understanding at what makes a team, you read too many tabloids and watch too much hollywood. You think a manager is defined by his success abroad or at club level and you think you can just plonk capello at England and expect him to get the best out of the team.

Well, think again, because this is the real world, BRO.

Former England striker on Match of the Day

It was really, really poor. We were all expecting a big improvement from the USA game.

We thought of excuses for that game. We said they went in not wanting to get beaten in the first game of the tournament, trying to settle in. But there were no real excuses at all.

We can't sit here and defend them. They were devoid of ideas, they kept on playing the long ball up to the front two which quite clearly is not working. There's no goals there, something has to change.

We should have been doing to Algeria what they were doing to us. They looked more comfortable on the ball then we did with players like Gerrard, Lampard, Rooney and Ashley Cole. You can't tell me that they're not better players than Algeria. But Algeria were better than England.

We criticised the French and their coach Raymond Domenech - the lack of passion and commitment. That wasn't there from the England players.

It has to be fear. They played well in the qualifiers but it's one thing qualifying, now it's on the big stage and the players have to deliver.

Rooney hit out at the supporters for booing at the end but they are entitled to express their opinions. They stuck with the England players for the majority of the game and they've travelled thousands of miles to get here. Three quarters of that stadium was full of England supporters. Wayne can't say that.

He's frustrated. His performances haven't been up to scratch. He doesn't look fit to me. Whether he's got the hump with someone or whether he's carrying an injury, something doesn't seem right.
