Watch the Wales vs England live stream in the Euro 2012 Qualifier on 26/3/2011 with much of the pre-match headlines dominated by the controversial reinstatement of John Terry as captain of the Three Lions after a year’s ban from wearing the armband by manager Fabio Capello. However, the Italian has now admitted that he prefers the Chelsea defender in charge on the pitch in the live online stream commentary and live online radio broadcast Euro 2012 Qualifier match between Wales and England and critics have pounced on the news to suggest if the discontent over the decision amongst other senior England players might lead to more poor displays on the pitch. Terry was stripped off the responsibility after being found guilty of several indiscretions off the pitch but the defender has never shown any remorse nor even offered any hint of an apology. Make no doubt about it – Terry will view this as a personal victory and would feel even more empowered in his belief that he is untouchable while the England national team is his personal kingdom and domain. While other players like Rio Ferdinand and Steven Gerrard have publicly refused to condemn the decision, it is rumoured that they are clearly disillusioned by Capello’s lack of courage and principles. Both the Italian and Terry might be fortunate though since the likes of Ferdinand and Gerrard are clearly fierce patriots and will play their hearts out for the national team despite the negativity brought into it.

There is no doubt that the England team are still on trial after their World Cup summer of shame. There might be a return to form for Wayne Rooney as the Manchester United striker has shown lately for his club, but it remains to be seen if he can perform now for Capello with the latter’s rigid tactics and disciplinary rules. Gerrard has also been ruled out and will be greatly missed in midfield, while there are still question marks over the quality of Liverpool striker Andy Carroll on the international level, where he is expected to partner Rooney upfront. Too often many English players have flattered to deceive when pushed to the top level of international football and fans have also continued to expect success despite evidence consistently proving that the Three Lions are nowhere near the quality of the likes of Germany, Spain, Holland and more. There must also be greater commitment by the players in the match as it will be regarded as a big derby for the Welsh dragons, so energy levels will be high from the home side.

The key player hailed by many to be important for Wales in the live Euro 2012 Qualifier online streaming football match will be none other than Spurs’ Gareth Bale. The wingback has burst onto the scene in the past two seasons and this year has seen Bale widely regarded by many as the best player in the world, some even boldly suggesting the youngster to be better than Barcelona’s Lionel Messi. While that is a tad too ridiculous, the Welsh wingback’s pace and directness will be a serious threat to England and Capello’s hopes of rebuilding their pride and reputation. Having already terrorised the likes of Inter Milan and AC Milan in the Champions League, Bale will need to find joy against England’s defence if Wales are to stand any chance. Coupled with the pace of striker Craig Bellamy, both can cause plenty of problems for a ponderous England backline. Bale also stated that he was happy to choose not to play for the Three Lions while opting to represent the country he was proud to be a part of – despite Wales rarely qualifying for major football competitions. Unfortunately, based on the latest injury updates, Gareth Bale has been ruled out of the match for Wales against England. The Spurs star picked up a hamstring injury during the last couple of days and has since then returned to London for further treatment with the risk of him missing the club’s Champions League quarterfinal against Real Madrid.

Prediction: An upset may be on the cards if Wales can keep their composure. After England’s dramatic fall from grace in South Africa last summer, many teams are aware of their weaknesses and no longer fear the Capello-era Three Lions. The Welsh are certainly going to exploit their pace in attack and it could turn out to be a long night for the English. Wales to beat England 2-1.
