Fabio Capello wants to bring the 2018 Soccer World Cup to England. OMG, Capello, you needed for 10 years? What a LOSER!

By that time in year 2018, do you think Capello can still be a England Coach? He really talked nonsense!

soccerwinner, I gather you do not plan for your future because you may not be alive to enjoy it! If that is the case, you are the loser!

Tonto, I knew that you respect Capello and he is your favorite manager, however no body will know what's gonna happen in the future. How he can be so sure that he still as England manager by that time ? By the way, I'm much more younger than you and enjoying my life pretty much. Now, who's a LOSER ?

Soccerwhinger,

It seems you are missing the point. As manager of a national side it is Cappello’s responsibility and in his best interest to promote and support the national football association, I think most would agree that any manager would be a fool not to as there would be serious doubts about their commitment to bringing success to national team. Whether or not Cappello is England manager in 10 years has absolutely nothing to do with sensible decision making in the present!

soccerwinner, you did not answer my question of whether you stopped planning for the future simply because you may not be there to enjoy it. Many people have been involved in bringing the W. C. to their country even though they may not have lived long enough to see it! Parents plan for their children's future even though they may pass away without having seen their children's success. The fact that Fabio Capello is my fovorite coach has nothing to do with my line of reasoning. BTW, Capello is not a loser. England is in 1st place and unbeaten in their group.
