England's newest football team manager, Fabio Capello has banned his players from playing video games.MCVUK reported this week that an Italian football manager Fabio Capello has banned video gaming from England's national football team players, leaning on the fact that the games have plagued their practicing.
Two days ago Capello had his debut game, which England won over Switzerland with 2-1 score. After that he continued to ban the so-called "PlayStation cultlure".
"If Fabio Capello is that concerned about winning with England, he may have missed a trick by banning PlayStations. What happened to playing to your strengths? PlayStation was never the problem for England’s footballers anyway," says The Times journalist, Martin Samuel.
"PlayStation, we’re good at. If Steve McClaren could have found a way of challenging Croatia to a game of Donkey Kong, he might have stood a chance," he continued.
"No gadgets, Fabio? Big mistake. It is the football that needs banning. That is what baffles us."

DISCIPLINE, some england football players dont know this word.. DISCIPLINE
if real madrid is now the best team in spain it's because of capello.. winning last liga (lucky or not who cares) gave to the team a lot of confidence etc.. they win nothing for few years before capello.. so he knows what he does.
"YOU ARE ALL GROUNDED, NO PLAYSTATION FOR A MONTH!"
