Mumbling Capello never at home in England
Fabio Capello arrived in London four years ago with a sparkling CV but for all his club success he departed still barely able to speak English and with his adopted country frought with division and long shots for success at Euro 2012.
It is ironic that his tenure was effectively ended by an interview given in his native Italian, when he said he disagreed completely with the FA’s decision to strip John Terry of the England captaincy.

Should Terry go to Euro 2012 at all?
So now we know. John Terry has been stripped of the England captaincy (again) but is available for selection for Euro 2012, which ends days before the start of his trial for alleged racist abuse.
Of course, Terry is innocent until found guilty and most fans would agree he should not be dropped from the team because of a so far unproven allegation, which he denies.

Ferrari unveil “aggressive” F2012, Massa warned
LONDON (Reuters) – Ferrari unveiled their 2012 Formula One car via the Internet Friday after their usual glittering launch had been cancelled due to snow in Maranello, where driver Felipe Massa was given a frosty reminder that he must shape up this year.
The Italian glamour team have endured several difficult seasons since Kimi Raikkonen, now back in the sport with Lotus, won their last drivers’ title and helped them to the constructors’ championship in 2007.

QPR strike as transfer window grinds to halt
LONDON (Reuters) – Premier League strugglers Queens Park Rangers splashed out on strikers Bobby Zamora and Djibril Cisse on deadline day, while there was a flurry of action at Tottenham Hotspur and in Italy, but generally the January transfer window ended up a damp squib.
Zamora signed from Fulham and Cisse from Lazio as England again outshone the rest of Europe in terms of spending, even if there was nothing remotely as big as last year’s late Fernando Torres and Andy Carroll drama.

Sweden boosted by Guidetti and Ibra displays
Under normal circumstances Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s dipping first-half free kick in AC Milan’s 3-0 win over Cagliari on Sunday would have been enough to give Sweden coach Erik Hamren a pleasant end to the weekend.
But if Hamren had been watching Feyenoord beat Ajax in in Holland’s Eredivisie on Saturday he would have seen another Swede, John Guidetti, net a hat-trick as Feyenoord won 4-2, giving him a mouthwatering selection problem ahead of Euro 2012.
