Letters: Hope fades again for a bright new dawn

There are remarkable similarities between Team Cleggeron and Team England. From the post-election/pre-tournament euphoria and the feeling this time things would be different, both quickly regressed with the reintroduction of ancient figures (William Hague/Jamie Carragher) and a reliance on flawed major players (David Laws/Ledley King), undermining the one-sided relationship at the summit (Cameron-Clegg/Capello-Pearce). Having made swingeing cuts (Theo Walcott), ringfenced the NHS/Wayne Rooney and paid vast sums to an elite few (bankers/Premiership players), we were then forced to watch with envy the performance of the Bric economies (Brazil, Russia, India, China) and the Bags (Brazil, Argentina, Germany, Spain). Dissent from within (Vince Cable/John Terry) was soon crushed, but mass unrest is avoided simply because "at least we're better then Greece"...

• Combining the Welsh, Scottish and English to create a stronger team has some merit (Letters, 29 June). But why stop there? An EU team would give anybody a run for their money. And I'm sure England fans would have no problems in travelling to the Bernabéu for home games and singing Alle Menschen werden Brüder before the lads in blue kick off.

• Sorry to mention the war, but had Capello et al boned up on the blitzkrieg, they would have known a resourceful, mobile German attacking force will overwhelm a static, flat-footed defence.

How Good Is Javier Chicharito Hernandez for Manchester United?

Image
Rarely have I seen a player make such an impressive debut for a club than the one I saw Wednesday night when Javier Hernandez came on as a second half substitute for Manchester United against the MLS All Star team. Ive seen him play for Mexico before, but all of his skills were crystalized before my eyes in an incredible 30 minutes of action. Simply said: This. Man. Is. Amazing. Hernandez (aka Chicharito) possesses pace and skill that is far beyond the average Premier League footballer. He is a gifted two-footed player who is a natural goalscorer. And on top of that, he can launch blistering attacks that will definitely rip apart weaker defenses. This is, by far, the player Im most looking forward to watching this upcoming Premier League season.

The last time I saw a player make such an impression on me was when Wa
