FA board members back Fabio Capello

England did not make it to the quarterfinals at the WK world cup 2010 in South Africa. The question after such an unexpected failure is: Will the coach of the current team, Fabio Capello keep his job? Capello was blamed for England’s failure against Germany (4-1). The Football Association expects that Capello will keep his job. Gartside and BBC News are supporting the FA. Their conclusion is that England has the best man for the job. The final decision will be made by Club England chairman Sir David Richards and director Adrian Bevington. The meeting will take place on July 15.

My reaction:
I have seen the match against Germany. Well, goodbye to England. Who would have thought that England did not make it to the quarterfinals? At least I did not. I have to say that they played under their level. Maybe this happened because they just finished the big competitions in their home country, like the Champion’s League. I think it is ridiculous that the coach always gets the blame. I understand that ‘’somebody’’ needs to be the victim, but the mistake not always lies by the coach of the team. Let us give the man a second chance!

Women freeze eggs to wait for 'Mr Right'

Modern technologies promise to help women preserve their fertility. In their late 30s, women are freezing eggs because they are still hunting for "Mr Right". There has been a research at a Belgian clinic where women wanted to freeze their eggs because they consider a fertility treatment. These women are having difficulties with finding a partner. Next to that, women are doing this because of an insurance policy against infertility. Another research came with some students that would also think about this procedure before motherhood. The chance of success is better with younger eggs, yet most women recently choosing the procedure in their late 30s and prefer for egg freezing as a ''last solution''.

My reaction:
Oh dear, what is going on in this World. I think that the title itself is hilarious enough! Now, in 2010 we are able to freeze or eggs for the safety of our fertility? Crazy, isn’t it? I agree that it can be a solution for some women among us, but still why do we all need these technical things? Why not keeping it the natural way? What is wrong with that? I think that is much healthier than the way this article says. And yes, infertility is a very big deal, but nature made his choice. I do not believe in God, but won’t all those technical things only make it worse?

Prince Charles's private income increases by 4%

Last year, the income of Prince Charles rose with 4% but on the other hand, his legal charges were almost halved. The reason for all of this is that many overseas travel of the Prince were paid by the prince's hosts, Sir Michael, a principal private secretary added. About the overseas trips, he said: ''It depends where the government wants them to go.'' Sir Michael admitted the economic failure had affected the way the prince's household had been run. He said that this is ''living in the real world’’! The people of Britain do not care much about this happening.

My reaction:
As if, I am interested in the income of Prince Charles and his ''charming'' wife. Not at all do I care about that! Those people have enough money to spend. We should care about the economic crisis and not about some prince's rising income. Why do these things always make it through the front-page of a paper? I mean, talk about things that matter to the rural inhabitants of Britain, like their incomes! I think and I hope that many people are thinking the same way as I do!

No foetal pain before 24 weeks

UK doctors are saying there is no evidence, which shows that foetuses feel pain in the womb before 24 weeks, so there is no reason to change the abortion limit. According to the RCOG (Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists), foetuses are undeveloped and numb. They say the brains are not yet complete and the surrounding of the uterus creates a state of sleep, like unconsciousness. Anti abortion, campaigners are against this statement. This difference of opinion started in the debate about the recent time limit for abortion.

My reaction:
Whether it happens in the Netherlands or in Great Britain, abortion is and will always be a big deal. I think that if you decide to have an abortion in week 24 of your pregnancy you are insane. If you already knew that you did not wanted this baby, then why wouldn't you do it sooner. If this really is bad for the foetus, I think that they definitely should change the limit! I still have my doubts about the whole abortion thing that is going on here and I think that will last forever.
