Now That's Being Cocky

Later today England will take on Russia in an important qualifier for Euro 2008. If England is victorious, it will surely be on account of midfielder John Terry's extreme confidence. When asked about the Russians this week, Terry couldn't name even one player on the team.

Even the great Chad Johnson has to be impressed with Terry's lack of regard for his opponents. At least Johnson bothers to learn the names of the cornerbacks he promises to torch. Terry didn't know one name. I can understand if he didn't read any scouting reports or watch any game film, but you think he would at least know a few names from playing against the Russians in FIFA 2008. Somebody has to get Terry and Xbox360. ASAP.
