A lot of people (okay, journos) still seem stunned by this appointment. Why though?A couple of months ago Woy was regularly asked at interviews about the England job. He declared that it is one he would consider. So it was open then that he was a candidate. Unless the media led themselves to think that he was just the 'stalking horse' candidate.
Only Dave Kidd and - very surprisingly - Rob Shepherd are in any way positive about this appointment. Lukewarm support from Holt and Spike Dudley ('Sam Wallace' to his mum), but otherwise the usual pram-toy interface is doing the rounds. McGarry's response is particularly hysterical. "Players openly laughed at him". Okay Ian, maybe so. Who is to blame for that?he certainly isn't!
Oh, and for the revisionist historians out there, Switzerland at USA '94 often played some nifty stuff. A far-cry from the abomination of Germany '06
