On 04/06/2006, I compared two news articles titled 'Sven: Pele inspired Theo selection' and 'Pele: Theo no, Sven.' Both articles were found on the Internet and discussed whether Theo Walcott should go to the World Cup. The controversy stemmed from Walcott being the youngest player ever for England, being picked over an experienced striker, and being unproven at Premiership level. Simon Fudge of Sky Sports wrote 'Sven: Pele inspired Theo selection,' while a Sun online reporter wrote 'Pele: Theo no, Sven.'
Two articles with attention-grabbing headlines and bold statements are featured on a website. The Sun Online piece, positioned on the right side, displays a photo of Theo Walcott - an up-and-coming football star who sparked controversy when he was chosen for England's national team without any Premiership experience. As one of only four selected str
...ikers, there is immense pressure for him to deliver if he gets the chance to play. Walcott's potential contribution could be crucial in England's quest for victory in the World Cup.
Both "Sven: Pele inspired Theo selection" and "Pele: Theo no, Sven" offer opinions about whether Theo should go to the World Cup. The former supports Theo's selection with Sven justifying his choice by saying that "he does good things." The latter, however, opposes the selection, as Pele thinks Sven is crazy to take an untried youngster like Theo Walcott to the World Cup.
The two articles posted in the press are formal public announcements about the story. While one article presents a favorable perspective towards Walcott, comparing him to Pele at his age, the other exhibits a negative historical bias by pointing out the absence of an untested player participating in
a World Cup. Although I opine that better established options exist upfront for England and Walcott's lack of experience may be detrimental as he has not been examined closely at higher levels.
Opinions are divided on whether Theo should be included in the England team for the World Cup. Some believe that his lack of experience may harm their chances, while others think that his youthful enthusiasm and unknown status could be helpful. However, there are worries that Sven might not have the nerve to go through with such a controversial decision or even select him at all. Choosing untested players could prove disastrous if England fails to win, disappointing many fans. Yet if they do triumph, it will bring great joy and celebration across the country.
With the potential to affect many people, their jobs and reputations, the story is quite complicated. Sven's belief that selecting Theo for the World Cup squad will prove right, especially if England wins their first World Cup finals tournament in 40 years being held in England, could be a major achievement. Winning would silence Sven's critics and have far-reaching implications as opinions from individuals such as Sven and Pele vary. The fact that the tournament is being held in Germany adds to its significance.
