Sing up England

I watched the Italian football team take to the pitch in Cape Town tonight. When the national anthem was played, the team linked arms and sang it with passion.

Contrast that with the England players a few days earlier. No linking of arms. No passion. I can't be sure that they even knew the words.

What does this say about our footballers? They should be proud to represent their country and they should darn well show it.

Just as well I'm not Fabio Capello. Because I wouldn't play anyone if they didn't sing the anthem out loud.
