Interesting play by Capello….not at all very watchable in an aesthetic sense but effective nonetheless

Great highlights fred54! Thats the way they should be done, if you other releasers are watching.

omg widescreen! those highlights are the bomb, thanks fred!

ecxellent quality… even the sound is like surround sound with my speakers.. two thumbs up! and Fabio will make this new england team shine.:d

**** yea, simplicity at its best. He’s bringing them back to the fundamentals. No room for egos either as he selects his team based on form. I wonder if his claims of winning a world cup will come true.

great match…
very effective midfield….
not so good for strike…

Awesome performance from the majority of the squad.
Capello knows what he is doing – He’s not choosing players by reputation but by current form and that is how things should be done.
Lampard, Becks and Robinson were dropped because they are not good enough at the moment, and weren’t choose just because they have a high reputation.
I tought Rooney, Bentley and Joe Cole were awesome yesterday. Joe Cole and Bentley made awesome assists and Rooney was always on the run.
Wes Brown nd Ashley Cole weren’t good enough, I tought. I expected to see a less than decent performance from A. Cole.
In the second half we created many chances, penetrated more and our passing improved. There weren’t long balls especially by Crouch, nd he made a good start when came in. Ferdinand also had a chance but he headed the ball up high.
As we saw, Switzerland are a very decent opposition to play against and to win for us must be really good.
It might be too early but I’m gonna say it..
This England has lots of potential.. We have no wasters now like Lampard nd Robinson.
We have a composure of young players like Bentley nd Berry with the likes of Ferdinand, David James and Owen.
Under Capello our side will show some fine football..
Wait nd see.

I doubt you guys will win against Croatia for the qualifying… They play a much faster type of football and England really just play slow and bore the ball into the net.

I’m not even going to comment on the actual game here although its great to see England come away with a win after their last performance..
Kudos on another fantastic highlight Fred, this is the sort of quality I wish all the games could be viewed at. This is as close to highdef as you can get, and on top of that its full match highlights. Much appreciated sir, keep up the good work.

cool highlights fred..
shame about the game.. wish england lost.. o well… we shall see that happening in the world cup qualifiers :P

Is quite acceptable for a 2-1 win,but it is not really good enough…. a few chances for rooney,but he missed,but at last it is still a narrow win for them,for nxt matc,i hope capello will bring on David Beckham to improve his current England squad….

Fred 54 I don’t know who you are, but you are my hero.
I live abroad and your devotion to putting MOTD up keeps me sane.
Keep it up please.

Best highlights on the whole net. Missed the game last night and having been searching for the past 3hrs to find decent highlights. Just like match of the day.
Good work fella!!
lilla | February 7th, 2008 @ 7:20 pm | | |
fred54 awesome
incase anyone doesnt know

Tido. | February 8th, 2008 @ 2:37 am | | |
2 fantastic saves by the swiss keeper and a few more glorious opportunities missed, the game could have been a blow out.
Capello knows his stuff
Wouldnt mind seeing Green or Hart in net, their form has been fantastic as well…
Good stuff fred54

If the reason to bring on david Beckham is based upon reputation then that will not improve the team, but rather repel the foundation of a team filled with potential, something witness on Wednesday. However if he selected David Beckham on fitness, team appearance, consistence and of cause performance then that will be an additional benefit to the team. But my personal opinion is England problems have always lied on the football politics off and on the pitch when selecting the team it has been unjust, unfair to deservely players whose performance on a consistency basis has always been overlooked because of media pressure to select names rather than contenders, performers and potential winners.

I think ‘awesome’ maybe an overstatement, the performance was a foundation on developing a team. Fabio capello would inject a professionalism with continental style of football mix with the British Bulldog which will produce results. It may not be sexy, but it will be smart and effective. If Capello continues to select the England team based on current form then England will have a VERY bright future.

It IS an awesome performance. Remember that everyone including the coach was under pressure and its not always easy to perform well when under pressure. But they did very well – they were in a difficult position and the win is nothing but awesome.

Agreed. Boring football, italian style, heavy relly on counter attacks. Effective but boring, definetly not the english footbal that I’m used to see..

Its better than to see boring football that can lead us to somewhere high rather than watching good football that can lead us to nowhere.

When we didn’t qualify it was a test for ALL England fans.. Some just went to boo their team. Others keep on believing in this team. It doesn’t mean that to believe you have to agree with all the decisions made. Mc Laren was one decision that I didn’t agree with but I never went on to boo him. I had to respect him.
Yea.. big, shiny, famous, rich England didn’t qualify. But we are still humans are are entitled to everything. We are NO gods or superstars.
Now we have a new coach, one of the best in the world I must say. Its a new era and we should forget the past. Its difficult to do so, because when we see others playing in the Euro and enjoying this competition, nd we are at home then yes it is difficult.
But the one who didn’t care about England [McLaren] is sacked, its a story of the past.
Let’s look forward. I believe in this team. No Lampard, No Robinson. Nd’ No McLaren.
Let’s say yes to the likes of Bentley, Rooney, Rio, Gerrard, SWP, Joe Cole etc..
Nd YOU Big Pole just shut up because I can tell that if your team doesn’t qualify or do well you start booing him. I just can see from your words. But we’re NOT like you. We’re going to believe in our team and finally we are going to get our reward.
Remember my words.

Fabio capello should emerge as a beckham in the future for england and also he should play brilliantly.
