The walking wounded Fabio Capello is without With Theo Walcott the latest withdrawal from the England squad after dislocating his shoulder (Arsene Wenger probably popped it out before he left the Emirates), we look at what could have been FabCap's team against Germany tonight if they weren't all crocked.

Buy a few more physios Roman, it looks like Chelsea are headed for yet another injury crisis. Deco (thigh) & Carvalho (knee) have been missing for a month, Joe Cole (gashed head (old) and ankle problem (new)) and Didier Drogba (knee) are short of fitness, and word coming out of the England camp suggests that John Terry (back) and Ashley Cole (hamstring) have been ruled out of The Three Lions' World Cup qualifier versus Belarus.

Don Fabio announced his England international squad for the World Cup qualifiers against Kazakhstan and Belarus over the weekend.

Among the 23-man squad are four Chelsea players: defenders John Terry, Ashley Cole and Wayne Bridge as well as midfielder Frank Lampard. For some reason, there was no room for Joe Cole, fresh off scoring at the weekend against Aston Villa.

Chelsea striker Didier Drogba is injured. In a rare case of non-diving, Drogba's knee injury seems to be legitimate, as he was stretchered off the pitch during Chelsea's Champions League draw in Romania.

The Ivorian is not a fantasy premier league factor this season (as he has just returned from injury) but with Joe Cole and Deco also out due to injury, Chelsea's injury crisis in the real world could provide some excellent short term benefits for fantasy premier league managers.

Robert Kovac is to miss Croatia's next 4 qualifying matches after being sent off the field due to the foul on Joe Cole in their last match with England. He will miss the last two games of this year and the first two of next year. During the England game, ... Click to continue reading...

Here's the Match Report from Arsenal.com.

There's a lot of discussion about who he plays like. He reminds me a bit of Sean Wright-Phillips: short, fantastic close-control, and ability to score. I've seen comparisons to Joe Cole. Arsene Wenger suggested Liam Brady. I've also seen comparisons to Lionel Messi, but I might detect a note of hyperbole in that one. Click to continue reading...

"It's all too beautiful", the Small Faces reminded me on Sunday when Ji-Sung Park scored his 18th minute goal.

I've had a bit of a pop at him over the last few days and I'm not afraid to say that I loved Mr Park for a few minutes on Sunday. Just a few minutes, mind you. I still think he doesn't deserve a place in the starting line-up but he WILL win me round if he keeps scoring important goals.

Going into the "the biggest game of the season so far" this weekend with Chelsea much had been made of the United's early season form. At Anfield last weekend, the Champions only played for 25 minutes; after that opening spell the home team took control and went on to win after coming back from a goal behind.

Man, I never woulda had Roma losing to Cluj, a Romanian side, at home.

Christian Panucci had the favored side up 1-0 with a header in the 17th minute, but Emmanuel Culio bagged the next two with goals at 28' and 49' to give the visitors a shocking win.

It wasn't undeserved either, the underdogs played well enough to win and deserved the three points in Group A. Click to continue reading...

Champions League debutants CFR 1907 Cluj came from behind to beat Roma and record a stunning 2-1 victory at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. Beyond the absence of Totti, Roma had a strong squad out on the field and will be disappointed with their performance. There has been a bit of turmoil off the field [. Click to continue reading...

Liverpool 2 - 1 Man United
The big match of the weekend was undoubtedly Liverpool against Manchester United, and for a change, the Reds had the upper hand. But it didn't look like it would go that way early on. Carlos Tevez put United into the lead in the third minute, sliding the ball home from a nice pull back from the newly signed Dimitar Berbatov.

In less than three weeks, my wife and I have a new arrival planned for our household: our first baby boy.

What, you're NOT going to honk your horn outside of my apartment for the next six hours?
International week -- there is something about the raw energy of nation versus nation in football that induces stress headaches like no other sport.

My lover has a kind heart.

Which is probably why he recently bought me "The Little Book of Football" and accompanying DVD at Aldi for £2.99.

I won't go into great detail about the circumstances in which I read the book but lets just say I do a page or two every morning.

Anyway, this morning I came across the following passage;

"In an era of so many talented individuals, it was a puzzle that the national side did not do better"

The team - England

The era - late 1930s. Click to continue reading...

What a performance! Best since Germany 2001 perhaps? Join the debate! Arsenal star Walcott was on fire (not literally thankfully), Wayne Rooney made Manchester United fans proud, Chelsea man Joe Cole fought bravely, did the eleven even missed injured Liverpool man Steven Gerrard? After the incredibly poor first half against Andorra, last . Click to continue reading...

England beat Croatia as Slaven Bilic's team hit the dirt as Walcott peppered them with some fine marksmanship. Walcott walked off with three goals and a porn star in hand. But this is better news for Arsenal as it needs Walcott to pull the trigger more often.

Capello's men forgot to hit the self destruct button as they entered the Maksimir Stadion.

So, I'm expecting Capello to be knighted before the week is out. The English sure love their revenge.

If it's too good to be true, chances are it is.

I'm hoping and praying the English media won't get carried away with themselves, but I know without even looking that they will. I actually almost feel bad for Theo Walcott; scoring a hat-trick in Croatia in an amazing feat, but the hype he'll get and pressure he'll be under are going to be absurd.

It is a telling sign that Joe Cole, England's best player has to fight for a starting spot in the squad. What perversity is this? I know Capello is a bit of a martinet and Cole might have ignored his instructions but his goals provided the victory against Andorra.

Joe Cole has said that England will adopt a defensive approach against Croatia on Wednesday in their World Cup qualifier.

Cole says that a draw would be a good result.

"We're working on being strong and hard to break down and we have got the players to do that.

This is a great article from the London Times, that describes how Joe Cole has become England's attacking midfielder / forward without an assigned position. Personally, I think this strategy is long overdue as Cole has always shown so much more of his ability when he was allowed to roam around and wasn't confined to one of the wide midfield positions.

Wayne Rooney has come under fire for the lack of goals he has been scoring for England. He insists that his scoring record is not weighing on his mind as he looks forward to Wednesday's World Cup qualifier in Croatia. Rooney has scored only five times for England in four years. "I've no problem with it. Click to continue reading...

While Jose is back in Milan cuddling with Ricardo Quaresma, we were treated to a one on one between The Boy and Fabio Capello. There were some insightful revelations, like the fact that Fabio loves chip butties and Cash In The Attic (who doesn't?), but Wayne failed to deliver the hard hitting question everyone wants [.

I really don't know how the 7,000 plus England fans do it. Travel away to see England play no-hopers Andorra in a World Cup qualifier in Barcelona - perhaps the attraction of a weekend in Barcelona did it.

Its bad enough supporting your club every weekend without expending more energy and emotion on a two-bit, two-bob international team who really haven't done anything since Sir Bobby Robson was in charge. Click to continue reading...

Apparently Fabio Capello 'vented his anger' at Joe Cole and Wayne Rooney after England's laboured 2-0 win against Azerbaijan in their World Cup qualifier yesterday. He said that he was pleased with the team and that the performance was a good confidence booster ahead of the far sterner test in Croatia on Wednesday. Click to continue reading...

I don't like the look of this, I'll be honest. England again devoid of creativity until the only Englishman in the team that could pull on a yellow and blue jersey for Brasil tomorrow if asked showed up. Chelsea winger Joe Cole, again, the catalyst for the win. Click to continue reading...

Scotland lost 1-0 to Macedonia in Skopje, but neighbours England ended up 2-0 winners against Andorra despite an unconvincing display.
