England national football team manager bans “PlayStation culture”

It’s understandable that a football manager doesn’t want any distractions for his team, but when a ban is placed on the “PlayStation culture,” you have to wonder how deep Sony has penetrated U.K. mainstream. Italian manager Fabio Capello, for one, recognizes the PlayStation brand and doesn’t want any traces of it in the England national football team. Check out the full article for details!

While Microsoft is enjoying its slight lead over Sony in the U.S., it seems the U.K. is still strongly attached to the PlayStation brand. Or at least, the new England national football team manager Fabio Capello appears to consider PlayStation so much of a threat that he placed a ban on it.

The Daily Mail got a hold of Capello’s rules and revealed that the Italian football manager is not just wary of his players walking in shorts and flip-flops – he also doesn’t like the “PlayStation culture” anywhere near his guys.

Even with his strict regime that includes a ban on PlayStation, the England national team players are still happy about Capello’s rules. When asked for comment, prominent defender Rio Ferdinand said, “You want to suck up as much information as you can. When you have someone with his kind of CV, you have to take notice.” According to Steven Gerrard, “all the things he put across in training were better than I thought they would be.”
