Capello’s England dream still alive

(GSM) – Fabio Capello believes that there is still hope for England to progress to the second round at the World Cup if they win their last Group C match against Slovenia in Port Elizabeth on Wednesday.

England was considered one of the favourites to win next summer’s World Cup but their hopes were dented by disappointing draws, 1-1 against the United States and 0-0 against Algeria.

“I think we have good players but now they are not at the top like we played in the qualification,” the Italian manager said.

“But this group is really good. I’m not crazy when I said my target is the final of the World Cup. Because I’m sure this is a really good group. We will win and afterwards all the teams will have to fight against us.”

“My target as you know was to go right to the final so it would not be a good result. But I think like a team, like a group, not individually. My reputation is not important,” he added.

Capello guided England to nine wins in 10 qualifying games to reach the finals.
