In Fabio Capello, England have got their man.

The English can at last talk of joining the likes of: Italy, Brazil, Argentina and Spain in top tier of world football countries with regards to the FIFA ranking in the next few months.

This is if they continue with their current form. After convincingly winning all four of their group six games of their 2010 World Cup campaign, the English have reason to smile because they are topping their group with twelve maximum points. Five points ahead of the second place Croatia. With this, there is little chance for them to qualify for the World Cup.

The arrival of Italian tactician on the helm of what is regarded to be the hardest job in the world has completely changed the face of the English team, especially to the player’s attitude.

They have been calm, and more disciplined on the ball after conceding a goal instead of resorting to the typical English long balls. They their last game against Belarus is good example. After conceding an equalizer they kept their composure.
The only think Capello will not change is the kind of game he coaches, not for the eye but for the scores. With little success since 1966 since when they won the world cup, the English are desperate for honours and Capello will take them as far as he can in his style
