Praise before a kicking

So I see that the wonderful English media are hyping-up the soccer team's success to date in the World Cup qualifiers, commenting they appear much more professional under the new manager, how well the players are working as a team and how this is the best start ever to a cup qualifying campaign.

WTF are they talking about? We've beaten Andorra, Croatia and Belarus for Christ's sake. I'll start to agree with 'em when it's been Germany, Brazil, Argentina, France and Spain in the finals.

Of course, that's unlikely to happen, at which point Capello will be chalked up as another failure; doubtless citing his 'professional' and 'mature' approach as having been too hard on the poor little buggers on the pitch and extolling the virtues of appointing a manager who'll let them 'have fun' and play 'passionate' football.

Ruud Gullit in 2011 then?
