The Day of reckoning.

Take a lot at my Second ever entry in this blog title "Come on England"

"The years 2010. a brave new England have taken the world by storm and reached the World cup final.


A few months ago people would have thought that sentence had a reasonable chance of being made in July this year, such has been the football teams improvement under Fabio Capello, but today it's not the Italian getting the plaudits, instead another Foregin coach, Andy Flower leads his cricket team into their first ICC final since 1992, and the first against the old enemy since 1987


For too long England have been looking in from the outside on occasions like this, but finally they have lived up to their pre-tournament talk of playing without fear, and whatever the result this afternoon they deserve plenty of praise for the way they have gone about this tournament. "


Today, Englands football team, need to follow in the footsteps of their crcket counterparts, when they take to the field they must be fearless, willing to take risks in order to create something, they need to play with conviction.

So far in this tournament, England have looked scared to try something out of the ordinary, only once has a Central Midfielder gotten himself ahead of the strikers, it resulted in a goal. We need to take more of these gambles.

We know they can do it, we've seen them do it in the qualifiers, we see them do it in the league for their clubs week in week out.

I'm fed up of hearing the tactics don't suit the players. They are the same tactics we used in the qualifiers.

I don't care who Capello picks as the 11 chosen ones this afternoon, whoever is out there is good enough, they wouldn't be in the squad if they weren't.

Last night England's cricketers showed the way once again, with another superb victory against the Australians. England should take note of the way they played, agressive, passionate and always willing to try something out of the ordinary.

If we play the same way today, then we should have no problems.
