Obviously Capello missed the Germany game where Terry and his chronic lack of positional sense lead to at least two of the Germans goals.

How did Upson get such a high rating, he was abysmal.

**Suarez** · 17-07-10, 11:42 AM

Swp!

**Exiled_red** · 17-07-10, 11:42 AM

So Jermaine Defoe and Shaun Wright-Phillips were England's best players? Followed by Gerrard, Terry and Upson?

must be true, look at how much they analyse the performances......which leads me to the conclusion that most stats are bollocks as we know allready

EVENTS DESCRIPTION
1. LONG RANGE PASS
Long Range Pass (longrangepass)
CI EVENTS: When a player plays a horizontal ball that cuts at least 2/3 of the pitch in width, o vice versa, but only if the pass reaches his teammate. (Must not be confused with the “switch play”).
Long Range Pass Error (longrangepasserror)
CI EVENT: When the long-range pass is over hit, or inaccurate, or if the player has to work very hard to recovery it. Must not be confused with the pass error, mistake on long-range pass, or switch play error.
2. ASSIST
Assist (assist)
CI EVENT: A potentially decisive pass leading to a goal (without being a goal otherwise it is an assist with a goal) must not be confused with a cross. A pass that puts a teammate in the position where they can score a goal with only one touch.
Assist with a goal (assistwithgoal)
CI EVENT: A pass that puts a teammate in the condition of scoring a goal (one touch) and the goal is scored. A cross that leads to a goal becomes an assist with goal; if this does not happen it remains a cross or a cross error depending on the quality of the same.
Nice Assist (niceassist)
CI EVENT: Spectacular pass, o very difficult pass to make, that puts a teammate in the position where they can score with one touch (without there actually being a goal). Often a nice assist, more than a simple assist, will put a teammate in front of goal.
Nice Assist Goal (niceassistgoal)
CI EVENT: A spectacular pass, o very difficult pass, that puts a teammate in the position of scoring a one-touch goal. A switch play or long-range pass that lead to a goal being scored becomes a nice assist with a goal.
3. CROSS
Cross (cross)
CI EVENT: The score is applied 1) when the ball reaches a teammate or 2) when the cross goes into the area but is intercepted and causes a corner or 3) if the cross causes a dangerous situation in the area (B2) even if it does not reach a teammate. TOTAL EVENT (no CI): if the cross made from outside the area (C2;F2) is dangerous but is intercepted and/or cleared by the defence.
Cross error (crosserror)
CI EVENT: When a player on the wing (C2), inside the area (B2) or from the edge of the box (F2) miss kicks a Cross and causes no threat to the opposition. Typically 1) behind (the ball goes out of play), 2) too long (crosses the whole of the area without a teammate managing to get onto the end of it), 3) totally over hit, or 4) too slow or softly struck (straight into the keepers’ hands). When a player is being pressured whilst attempting a cross.
Cross Under Pressure (crossunderpressure)
CI EVENT: When a player on the wing (C2), inside the area (B2) or from the edge of the box (F2) crosses under extreme pressure from one or more opposing players (the miss kick is therefore justified).

Diagonal Defence Cover (diagonaldefensecover)
CI EVENT: 1) When a player (usually an outside defender) closes down diagonally his opponent or 2) when a player (usually a central defender) closes down an opponent towards the wing. The diagonal movement must be decisive and continuous otherwise it is the same as a defensive cover.

Acceleration with the ball (accelerationwiththeball)
CI EVENT: When a player 1) sprints with the ball at his feet for a large section of the pitch, for example along the wing, creating a counter-attack (if the acceleration leads to beating an opponent this is considered a dribble) or 2) When a player penetrates the opposition’s penalty area.

The condition necessary for an aerial challenge to have taken place is that 2 players jump for a ball at the same time (from a cross or long range pass), not from a goal kick o defensive clearance.
Aerial Challenge Lost (aerialchallengelost)
CI EVENT: When a player doesn't manage to header the ball therefore losing out on the challenge.
Aerial Challenge Won (aerialchallengewon)
CI EVENT: When a player manages to header the ball therefore winning the aerial challenge.

It is completely laughable and embarrassing!!!

SWP second best player and Heskey 6th

I think think should the the first and last Capello Index otherwise he is going to make himself a bit of a joke! He just needs to concentrate on picking a group of players who can actually play as a team!

and as you say, 'we know already'!!!

**Exiled_red** · 17-07-10, 12:07 PM

Capello index scores for England vs Germany:

James 57.14
Johnson 53.21
Cole 54.5
Terry 60.0
Upson 60.87
Barry 57.17
Gerrard 57.22
Lampard 63.2
Milner 54.29
Rooney 62.72
Defoe 59.38

I can't believe that Terry and Upson scored so highly

**Exiled_red** · 17-07-10, 12:10 PM

The best player in the tournament (Forlan) only scored 65.77, so according to the scores his performances were only 5% better than Defoe's

Not to mention Rooney.

**Baracus** · 17-07-10, 01:11 PM

So its true, sometimes when you over analyse you miss the point. England where ****e. Rooney was garbage, Terry was a kunt who probable caused massive unrest amongst the players. Gerrard was hit and miss. Crouch maybe could have done soemthing if give the playing time.

I'd hate to thing what rafa's rating index was like. Capello and Rafa probable spent more hours on the computer then talking to the players

**IN_RAFA_WE_TRUST** · 17-07-10, 03:42 PM

Fabio is losing it.

**red g** · 17-07-10, 03:57 PM

Fabio Capello has demanded the Capello Index be removed from the internet after insisting he had not seen or approved of the rankings.

The rankings first appeared this morning, and were not kind to the England players after they were knocked out at the last 16 stage in a 4-1 defeat to Germany.

The Football Association released a statement to Press Association Sport this afternoon saying the rankings had not been approved.

"A spokesman from the FA said that the index ratings had not been seen or approved by Mr Capello, were published without his knowledge and that his representatives have taken immediate steps to have the material taken down," the statement said.

**Mike** · 17-07-10, 04:03 PM

In other words Capello has thought "**** i will get slated for this"
