Filed under: FIFA World Cup, U.S. Men’s National Team
It is tempting, so tempting, to consider the dirty laundry aired on both sides of the Atlantic this week and imagine that the England team that takes the Royal Bafokeng Stadium field on June 12 will be a miserable, fractured shell of its former self.
The English press is in fits speculating about whether or not central defender/philanderer John Terry will keep his captaincy, whether he and left back/cuckold Wayne Bridge can coexist, whether the locker room will take sides and whether coach Fabio Capello can keep it all together. The answers to those questions are “doesn’t matter”, “doesn’t matter”, “no” and “most definitely”, and it would be foolish to think that the comparisons now drawn between this year’s England and the 1998 U.S. team we’re now being led to believe imploded because of John Harkes’ affair with Eric Wynalda’s wife hold any water at all.
