Caption Competition – When 100 words just aren’t enough

Written by Tom Jones

England’s international week was reasonably satisfactory. A comfortable 2-0 win against Wales at the Millennium Stadium in qualifying for Euro 2012 was followed up by a 1-1 draw with Ghana in an exciting friendly at Wembley. England manager Fabio Capello was once again making the headlines, this time the Italian responded to criticism aimed at him for his difficulty speaking English by saying “you speak about tactics, you don’t use a lot of words. I don’t have to speak about a lot of different things. Maximum 100 words.” Here is Capello at training talking to Arsenal’s Jack Wilshere, Liverpool’s Andy Carroll, Manchester City’s Gareth Barry and Joleon Lescott, and Everton pair Phil Jagielka and Leighton Baines. None of them look particularly enthralled, Baines in particular, but which of his 100 words of English is Capello using and what are the England players thinking?

    I misunderstood when Wales got a singer to help them and I asked Westlife to help us. So after you stand with folded arms what do you do??

    “This is the best England Team ever, and we will win the Euro 2012 and World Cup 2014″
