Nery Castillo loses it at press conference / Rooney gets tip from Capello and more international news

Mexican striker Nery Castillo is talented and also controversial.
The controversy continues as Castillo broke under the pressure of the media ahead of this Saturday’s match against Costa Rica in Mexico.
Castillo called out the press and said Mexican journalists know nothing about soccer. Castillo was upset about the negative line of questioning coming from the press.
Now I agree that in all sports you have journalists who are in it for a variety of reasons and their judgement gets clouded between professional journalism and professional questioning.
But what Castillo did further might give you a glimpse into the man.
Apparently he then taunted the reporters claiming they were jealous because they are stuck in Mexico while he lives in Europe.
You decide what you think here. Castillo plays for Shaktar Donetsk in the Ukraine.

FABIO CAPELLO THE THERAPIST?
England manager Fabio Capello described Wayne Rooney as a “crazy man” for his reaction after getting sent off against Fulham.
Capello called out Rooney ahead of England’s friendly match against Slovakia. Apparently the manager told Rooney, “What were you doing punching the corner flag? Your’e a crazy man, a crazy man,”.

The Quakes have a trio of attacking players in Bobby Convey (Reading), Arturo Alvarez a former Houston area product and Darren Huckerby (Norwhich). Frank Yallop’s Quakes are smarting after a 1-0 home loss to NE where they were the better team. The Dynamo come off a 1-1 draw but will have selection problems up front in the abscence of Brian Ching with the U.S. National team and a suspended Kei Kamara. The rivalry is a good one as the Dynamo were re-located to Houston from San Jose in 2006. The fans in San Jose have been vocal in past matches at this stadium.
