I agree, hopefully Capello will be given time, and along the way will burst a few egos, as we have seen with Beckham. Too many players were guaranteed a place in the side, friendlies became meaningless with caps handed out willy nilly.
Saying that, I do believe you have to build your team around the most gifted player and IMHO it has to be Rooney. Think about it, Zidane almost single handedly to France to the World Cup final (ok, he then blew it), Maradonna with Argentina. Look at all the great Man United sides. Teams were built around the talents of George Best, Cantona, Keane and now Ronaldo. I think instead of sticking Rooney up on his own to run round like a dog, just to try and accomoate Lampard and Gerrard, build the team around Rooney so we get the best out of him, not the worst cos he is argubly the best English player since Gascoigne.
And I guess I should support 'les bleu' as I am soon to be a Vigier owner lol,
