As Mr Capello reflects on another victory in group 6, I really wonder why England cannot reach the heights their individual talent promises. Another, over-complicated win leaves Capello's side all but certain of winning Group 6. But I do not see them as serious contenders for the World Cup in 2010.These games should be easier than England make them look.
Wayne Rooney was, again the neanderthol-like driving force behind Englands attack, but can he complete a full ninety minutes without loooking to kill one of the opposition?
There is no doubt that England's stars have the talent to shine on a world stage, but as of the last ten years they simply have not performed. Some say that England don't have good enough players, but this is the view of a person looking for easy answers.
Steven Gerard is wasted in left-midfield. Capello trys to hide it by playing Frank Lampard and Gareth Barry as holding midfielders and therefore avoiding the issue.
Capello can seek comfort in qualification, but his contribution to England's success will be defined by their achievements in South Africa.
