Fabio Capello's dig at Wayne Rooney that the England star striker only understands "Scottish" has raised a few hackles. It was in response to comments by Rooney that under Roy Hodgson there are no language problems in the English team.

This has generated much debate about whether a team can perform well unless players and managers share a common language. The Italian, who has been criticised for not learning English, was clearly getting his own back – and, I suspect, also having a joke at Rooney's expense.
