England national team coach Fabio Capello publicly apologized for the controversial player rating system that was published in the press.
The specialist planned to write grades for his players during the championship, but after media criticism, he abandoned this plan.
Nevertheless, in the published information, goalkeeper Robert Green, who made a mistake in the first match, received the lowest score in the hundred-point system (51.67). Wayne Rooney, who did not show his best athletic form, received a score of 58.87, Steven Gerrard – 60.98, Shaun Wright-Phillips – 61.09, Frank Lampard – 58.58.
Capello rated Uruguayan Diego Forlan highest - 65.77.
"Fabio apologizes greatly," said his son and agent Pierfilippo. "Capello did not receive and will not receive any commercial profit from this. He is simply interested in collecting statistics, comparing and evaluating."
