Fifa World Cup South Africa 2010: England

So by this time our team is still stable. We could however improve in many ways. One we could prepare for our game against Algeria and make sure that it does not result in a tie because our reputation as one of the top teams in the soccer organization is a stake. another way our team could be improved would be if our top midfielder recovered from his recent ankle injury that kept him from participating in the England vs USA game. Instead they made Steven Gerard switch to midfield which may not have been the best choice, especially because he is more of an offensive type player. The thing that could make our team completly better as a whole would be if our goal keeper could make sure that he has full control of the ball before he lets go of it so it doesn't end up ruining our streak of 50 years without being scored on by Mexico. By the time we aplay our next match, we will be ready to face whoever dares to oppose us. In South Africa there is a lot of ethnic conflict as well as religious conflict and the biggest reason for this would be the colonial broders places randonly by the Europeans. It does not make a difference to South Africa wether they are playing against us or any other country. There is no hate, everyone is just trying to win the Fifa World Cup. The only teams that may have a problem while playing against each other would probably be North Korea and South Korea.

Newly Added Players And Members of England's 2010 World Cup Team

England has acquired and recruited many new players of the years, perfecting their chance at the 2010 World Cup victory. Over the years they've dropped and picked up many qualifying players, only to thin the squad down to the best combination possible. Recently Fabio Capello has grasped up Joe Hart, a current competitor for first choice goalie. Along with Joe Hart, Robert Green is playing for England after a prior injury in Germany's World Cup 2005. David James has registered 89 appearances in English football’s second tier.

The defenders include Glen Johnson, Rio Ferdinand , Stephen Warnock, Jamie Carragher, Ashley Cole, John Terry, Matt Upson, and Ledley King. Glen Johnson plays right-back position and possesses the ability of going forward, means he can also wing-back role. Rio Ferdinand is symbolized for his elegance and composure on the ball along with his defensive ability. Stephen Warnock plays left back and mid during games. Jamie Carragher has 600 appearances in Liverpool and is one of the clubs oldest players. Ashely Cole, John Terry, Matt Upson, and Ledley King also play huge roles within the team as main defenders.

Midfielders comprise of Steven Gerrard, Aaron Lennon, Frank Lampard, Joe Cole, Gareth Barry, James Milner, Shaun Wright-Phillips, and Micheal Carrick. Steven Gerrard has now been play professional soccer for 10 years and received his first cap at 20 years old. Aaron Lennon is recognized for his pace and trickery in great supply. Frank Lampard has earned a well known reputation as one of the world’s finest goal scoring midfielders. Joe Cole, Gareth Barry, James Milner, Shaun Wright-Philips, and Micheal Carrick are also widely recognized as soccer heroes and great contributors to the sport.

England's forwards include Peter Crouch, Wayne Rooney, Jermain Defoe, and Emile Heskey. All are certainly effective players and not just in forward but playing back some too. They have some of the most goals-per-game ratio records in history.

Joe Hart might become #1 Goalkeeper

Fabio Capello is debating whether not to place Joe Hart as the #1 goalkeeper for the team. It is a difficult decision because he does not have a games worth of experience in international soccer. Yesterday the team back home to England to play Mexico in an unofficial match. Their high altitude training was interrupted so that they could play a professional team and arrange their players to their advantage. Last night Joe Hart won his second cap in their match against Mexico at Wembly. This has increased his chances in being installed as first goalkeeper, but he really has to exceed expectations to replace David James or Robert Green, who have both had much more play time in 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa. "He did play in Trinidad and Tobago but the pressure at Wembley is really big. Hart has played a lot of games this season and has improved a lot. It is very equal between the keepers and they are all starting in the same position." says Fabio Capello.
The decision will definitely be a difficult one, and it will likely determine their placement in the Cup. He will make his decision shortly before he announces his line-up against Japan in Graz on May 30. “I prefer to decide at the last minute,” Capello says, because that way he gets as much time to think about it as possible, "It is really dangerous to decide too early.” Capello takes his team to play practice match against other teams to understand how their players work, so he can develop new strategies and styles. A new match could totally change his choice on who is to play.

David Beckham Tendon Injury

David Beckham's tendon injury from the Manchester United match got him benched for 8 weeks from any physical activity. No one wanted to hear that the captain would be out of a very important game. Especially because he is not going to be able to play for the World Cup. The team of England still has time to call for a replacement. Beckham would be used as a coach. The team coach, Fabio Capello, thinks that David Beckham could be used during the World Cup. Beckham hopes to still travel with the team. In my opinion, David Beckham would be a great coach for the team during the team's important game. Beckham has set the record for 115 playing times in the position of an outfield player.

The high physical activity involved in sports can cause injuries to the tendons and ligaments as well as acute injuries from accidents while playing. Ligaments and tendons can become stretched, resulting in a sprain or strain. Tendonitis, or irritation of the tendon, is also common in athletes. Beckham should be fine afterwards and is questioning if he should participate in the next Manchester United. Don't worry, Beckham, you'll be back on those soccer feet in no time!
