Scott Parker: England's key to victory

Last night at Wembley England may have achieved what we could say a victory, however it was one of the most slender and lucky victories at Wembley for a long time. England may have defended with discipline but to be completely dominated as they were is not acceptable, as England are considered to be amongst the top five international teams.

One man in a white shirt last night who did look worthy of praise though was one Scott Parker. The Tottenham stars tenacious and terrier like style has done wonders for his domestic campaign but last night, he fulfilled it against arguably the greatest midfield the world has ever seen. Capello must have been watching the 30 year old putting his life on the line for his country and thinking, 'there is my star midfielder'.

Much has been said about England's golden generation, but Parker now has to be England's star player, and is one of our only chances of success at the Euro's. Combined with the attacking flair of Young, Wilshere and Walcott, Parker could lead England's midfield to success and its about time Capello perhaps considered making Parker the England captain, as truly he was the only leader on the pitch against the Spanish.
