Theo In Wonderland!
The English side has named their full squad for the World Cup. Nothing much of a suprise except for the inclusion of one particular player….well…Theo Walcott it is. I have to say that Sven has been a lil bit vague on his plans. Yeah…maybe the kid, Theo has great things to offer…but none of us have seen the boy playin rite? (and yeah… neither Sven Gorran Ericsson) Even Arsene Wenger has never included him in the Gunners’ squad. Hmm…in rational…none of the above has a solid fact to back up the selection. There are more experienced players that can be included instead…like Jermain Defoe, Darren Bent, Andrew Johnson, Carlton Cole or even Robbie Fowler. Well..i think the kid needs more exposure… and moreover…he has more years to come for him to play in the world cup (unless if he gets seriously injured during the world cup and have to consider for a premature-career retirement…wut a beautiful imagination…hehehe) The football world nowadays is more competitive…just skills and strength won’t be enuf…u need to have the good ‘brain’…and of course u can only get the good ‘brain’ through experience. Playin with the big boys will not be the same as playin with your teenage friends Theo!
It’s not so much of the selection that intrigued me really. It’s the main plan. England has always been a big talker when it comes to the world cup. From what i’ve seen…this time…the English wants to win the world cup so bad…with the boost from their domestic league and of course Arsenal as a contender for the european champion (I hope Gunners will win this one! Barca can go to hell! Wek!) But so far…according to Sven’s plan…i don’t see how England can win the world cup…with 2 injured and 1 unexperienced strikers in the squad…that leaves Peter Crouch alone in the scoring department…and i don’t see him as a real threat at all
Hmm…again bout Theo…if we look it form a different perspective…it could be a major boost for the English football. If not in the instance future…maybe in the years to come. Who know that in the years ahead…we might look back at this very time and say ‘ It’s a good thing that Sven had includes Theo Walcott in the 2006 World Cup team because the boy has been great ever since’. Now…let see if Theo Walcott can do it…let see if he can bring the game to another level…let see if he can take us out of the Wayne’s World coz i’m already bored with it…big time! :) And oh yeah…to all the England’s fans out there…u can officially stop dreaming about the World Cup victory now…hehehe…jgn marah!
