Soccer News on The Independent UK &bull Yesterday
As Match of the Day viewers may have noticed, there is a bit of an argument going on about whether Theo Walcott has a "football brain". Well I can understand why people say he has not got one because that is what you say when you get frustrated with a player who has ability but is not learning, but I don't believe in the concept. Sure, you have players who know what positions to take up on the pitch instinctively. Wayne Rooney is one, Paul Scholes is another. But that is rare. Most people need to be coached. You can… Full Story »

I don't blame Fabio Capello for World Cup snub says Theo Walcott
Soccer News on Guardian UK &bull Aug 31, 2010
Theo Walcott is showing the maturity off the field and potency on it that can make him a vital asset for England It was curious to see the swift Theo Walcott left standing. England set off without him for the World Cup finals earlier this summer and that must have been particularly galling since it had probably been the impetus of his hat-trick against Croatia in September 2008 that swept the side to South Africa. If there is any feeling that he deserved better, the Arsenal attacker conceals it well. The… Full Story »
