TheGame - Times Online - WBLG: It's time to appoint Paul Gascoigne as Fabio Capello's successor


Something important to keep in mind with Rooney: United are a much better TEAM then England. The fact of the matter is, England are a collective group of stars, but they have no unifying force on their squad. They barely train together and they look like they're out there because their agents told them they should do it.

Contrast that with Germany, who, and this is another interesting point, allow their young players to cut their teeth in their league games as opposed to the Premiership, where instead of young English talents getting a call up, would rather import talent. Granted, every league is out to do this because it drives TV sales and revenue, but England's prospects moving forward are bleak because they have no young Ozil or Mueller who can be playing first team World Cup matches right out of the gate. Instead, they are blocked from ever getting a chance.

Take care all.
