England boss Fabio Capello’s explanation as to why England are not world class and that they cannot match up to the might of the Spanish has been described, wrongly, in my opinion as an astonishing claim by Sky Sports News.

Speaking prior to England’s friendly with the reigning World and European champions on Saturday, Capello said: “We have good players of our own but not good enough to try to have the style of play which Spain have.”
We England fans are notoriously naive and expectant when concluding the standard to which England should play at, Fabio is not.
The England boss realises that England need to play to their strengths – to which there are many – and to suit his teams style of play around the players available and not vice versa. I and more importantly he (Fabio Capello) knows that England can’t play with quite such vigorous swagger as those tippy-toe Spaniards do.
This won’t be the case with expectant England fans up and down the county who will expect a win and nothing less against the best national team of the past few years.
I guess I am pre-empting the defence of Mr Capello as I fully expect Spain to beat England. This is not to say I am a defeatist or that I hold no hope of England getting a result at Wembley as it is very possible for England to win against any team, but the likely hoods are that Fabio Capello will get some things wrong, most right and that the Spanish will be victorious.
