Capello is a total garbageman, I can't believe Russia picked him up after that disaster with England.

Was he always so negative or is it an italian thing when you get old like Trapattoni?

Nah he was never this bad at Milan, but I was a little kid at the time so maybe Im just remembering it wrong.

My understanding has always been that Capello is good at winning leagues and utter poo poo at winning knockout competitions. I have no idea why. It explains why he was always a competent club manager, and why he's so good at qualifying for tournaments, but then completely implodes once he actually gets there.

Russia didn't deserve to get out of this weak group. Looked mediocre to poor throughout.

Capello has won seven league titles (four with Milan, two with Madrid, one with Roma) but has only ever won one cup competition (super cups don't count) when he managed Milan to the 1993-94 Champions League.

I don't know why anyone thought he would be a good idea for national teams, where literally every competition is a cup competition.

I also find it really funny that Russia's "prove we're not a garbageman team and deserve to host the next World Cup" tournament ended up with them finishing behind Algeria. Not quite as good as Qatar almost certainly not qualifying for the next (or any) World Cup, but still really good.

The only redeeming quality I can foresee for Qatar 2022 is the other teams in Qatar's group just pumping them full of net slams.

There was a laser pointed at him, but it doesn't excuse his mistake. And there was no laser when they played South Korea.

Really, Akinfeev singlehandedly cost his team a place in the knockouts by turning two 1-0 wins into 1-1 draws.

Jews fleeing the Holocaust are not in any way comparable to North Africans, who don't flee genocide but want to enjoy the social welfare systems of Northern Europe.
Maybe Putin can convince FIFA to test the winter timeplan they want to use in the 2022 WC in Russia. The Russian winter might give them a shot to not be eliminated in the group stage.

Sounds like Capello is in hot water: http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/jul/02/fabio-capello-russia-world-cup

quote:

Igor Ananskikh, the head of the State Duma’s sports committee, said he would indeed be calling Capello before the committee in October to explain the team’s poor performance. If Capello does decide to put in an appearance at the Duma, he can expect some interesting lines of questioning on football tactics. When asked what the biggest problem with the players was, Pakholkov said it was that Russia’s team are simply too small.

“Look at the size of the Koreans, even they are bigger than us! I’m not talking about Germans or Brazilians, who are obviously giants. Our guys are twice as small as them. I’m not against small players but Capello’s team can’t even run fast. What are they doing in the team?”
