At the moment it looks like England are going out to the great footballing nation of Montenegro.
Fabio and the boys are not going to be pleased, they're already looking forward to their holiday. What a joker he is. He just makes it up as he goes along imo.
Capello's record makes him one of the best coaches in the world, do you really believe that the England football team is just waiting for the right Messiah to come along before we claim our rightful place at the top of the game? Changing managers hasn't worked for the last four decades and it wouldn't work now.
If international football were the Premiership, England would just about be a top ten club. No chance of getting a lucrative spot in the top four, but like Villa or Everton regarding success as winning a spot in the Europa League and every few seasons looking nervously over their shoulders at the relegation places.
We have expectations of the national team that are way above their level of ability, fueled by blind patriotism, arrogance and a false impression of how good English football is because of it's success in getting teams into the latter stages of the Champions League - conveniently forgetting that if it wasn't for foreign imports they would be lucky get past the group stages.
