    I read somewhere that Capello had in fact nothing to do with these ratings. But it also said they were printed without his permission :confused:

    its his system, but he decided it best not to allow its use coz it might cause problems with the england squad

    of course had they won the world cup he'd surely have been delighted to let it go public

    Its a bloody harsh system. Rates a players performance from 1 to 100. Forlan did the best, and even he was only a 65 average with some outstanding performances, and a 72 for his best game where he was unreal..what gets you that extra 28%?

    seems a pretty fair system tbh

    if you take 50 as being the average international performance (which should be a pretty hight standard) then 65-72 are pretty bloody good scores

    But when you compare the likes of Forlan to some of the England players, you see terry who had an abysmal tournament has an average of 60 and Upson who was poor has a 60 average. So 5 points out of 100 seperate 2 players who had awful forgettable tournaments, and 1 who had a fantastic tournament...just seems all too bunched together.

    you say the average is down at 50, but the lowest player for England was 51.67, and that was Green who played one game and single handedly cost his team the win in that game. So how bad do you have to be to hit the 'average'?

    (incidentally the england players scores are here; http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1295519/Fabio-left-red-faced-Capello-Index-England-boss-demands-removal-player-ratings.html )

    The Capello Index is the most annoying thing since Sky sports tried to make a story out of the Rafa "guarantee"
