Re: International Matches Discussion Thread
I saw a Lucas Neill interview where he talked about the Thailand game before. All I could think was "Why is this muppet captain of my country's team?"

Re: International Matches Discussion Thread
Who'd you make as captain to replace him? Schwarzer maybe, a big name thinking of retiring to keep them in the squad (Viduka).
I'd give it to Schwarzer or Emerton, looking at the squad nobody really stands out besides Timmy C.

Re: International Matches Discussion Thread
Yeah, Schwarzer. I like Holman, but he's not really an inspirational type player for us, whereas I'd say Schwarzer is.

Re: International Matches Discussion Thread
The only thing about making Schwarzer captain is that we tend to try Federici and others in friendlies, I'd prefer a captian to play in at least 99% of internationals personally.

Re: International Matches Discussion Thread
Smalling and Jones as the starting centre-backs for England?
Smalling is nowhere near the best centre-back in the country, and Jones has a lot to prove, and the two games he has started for England, he started at right back (had an awful game) and in central midfield (completely overrun by Xavi, Alonso and Iniesta).
