England football fans: Have you got what it takes to do a Carlsberg England team talk?

Anticipation for the Fifa World Cup in South Africa is hotting up – and already football fans are thinking ahead to crunch games that need an inspirational team talk from the manager to turn the result around.

For every Ferguson, whose team talks are rumoured to put the fear of god into his players, there is a Sven Goran Eriksson, whose team talk when England lost against Brazil in 2002 after a half-time lead, Gareth Southgate was quoted as saying: “We were expecting Winston Churchill and instead got Iain Duncan Smith".

Carlsberg challenge England football fans to prove that they can do better than Sven Goran Eriksson!

At www.youtube.com/user/EnglandTeamTalk there is a guaranteed prize for every team talk uploaded, including the unforgettable chance to meet some of the stars of the England football team.

There are already over 1,000 team talks uploaded to the Carlsberg England Team Talk YouTube channel, including team talks from some famous names, including Kyran Braken and Graham Thorpe.
