Adios Steve McClown

Finally! A good chance had presented itself to the English FA to sack Steve McClown and save England from going into further international football oblivion! Last nights loss to Russia in the crucial Euro 2008 qualifier is the final straw. Enter Moanrinho! hahahah fat hopes indeed. But then I do not see any other credible candidate out there to take over the helm for the 3 Lions. Terry Venebales you might say?? Yeah right! That would be like taking it from the lion's mouth and feedin it to the croc's mouth.

England will need a miracle now to qualify for the Euro 2008. Correction! They don't need 'a' miracle, they need a couple of miracles to happen. First miracle, Russia will have to loose or draw to Israel in the game at Tel Aviv. This is not far fetched but looks unlikely now that Israel is out of contention. Second miracle is for Andorra-who-you may-ask to beat or draw with Russia! Now, Andorra is pointless after 10 round of matches and sitting at the bottom of the table with just 2 goals scored and 39 against! Maybe David Blaine might lend a hand of help! With England only having 1 more match and that is against the group leader Croatia, even if they win(3rd miracle) this they will have to pray that Russia drops points at Andorra or Israel.

Personally I don't see that happening and looks like I will have one less team to support at Euro 2008 as it stands. That would probably make the tournament incomplete but it serves the English FA right. What were they thinking??? Steve McClown took the team backwards instead of forward. Heck even Sven did a good job in my opinion! I guess this is what get when you end up with the 3rd choice manager.

Darn! There goes my hopes for a peaceful Thursday morning! What the SUI!
