Capello walks away from England post

Soccer Betting Lines

02/08/2012 - London, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Football Association confirmed on Wednesday that Fabio Capello has resigned as England manager.

Capello was critical of the FA in an interview with Italian television when it was announced that John Terry had been stripped of the England captaincy amid charges of racial abuse against QPR's Anton Ferdinand.

Terry's trial is not set to begin until July, which is after this summer's European Championships, and Capello did not agree with the FA's decision to strip the Chelsea defender.

A meeting was held on Wednesday between Capello and the board, and the Italian decided to tender his resignation, which the FA accepted.

A statement from the FA read: "The Football Association can confirm that Fabio Capello has today resigned as England manager. This follows a meeting involving FA chairman David Bernstein, FA general secretary Alex Horne and Fabio Capello at Wembley Stadium.

"The discussions focused on The FA Board's decision to remove the England team captaincy from John Terry, and Fabio Capello's response through an Italian broadcast interview.

"In a meeting for over an hour, Fabio's resignation was accepted and he will leave the post of England manager with immediate effect."

No announcement over a replacement was made on Wednesday with a media conference set to take place on Thursday.

Capello took charge of the England squad in December 2007 but was only able to guide England to the second round of the 2010 World Cup, where the Three Lions were soundly beaten by Germany, 4-1.

The 65-year-old helped England qualify for this summer's European Championships and had previously announced that the competition would be his last as manager of the team.

Terrell Owens could return for Cowboys next game
A bye week will allow Terrell Owens broken hand to recover just in time for the next game the Dallas Cowboys are slated to play, according to reports. MySportsbook.com, an football sportsbook, has posted football betting lines on TO playing.

Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday. Although Owens' hand was swollen and aching Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said he's optimistic the receiver will be back at work next week and catching passes a week from Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.

MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee.

"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."

Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com
