Capello wants an England Vs Italy World Cup final | National team coach Fabo Capello has revealed that he would like a World Cup final between England and Italy. The Three Lions boss is convinced his team are capable of beating the
best on the planet. The Sun quoted him, as saying: "I would love a final between
England and Italy. For Italy, for me and for all of us. The strangest moment will
be during the national anthems. But, I am wearing a different shirt now and I
must work for the England shirt." "My team is strong. The fans are proud of what
we've done, as are we. There's a World Cup to play for and our goal is to reach
the final. We will be competitive and I repeat: We can play with our head held
high against the best teams in the world," he added. Amazingly, England and four-time
world champions Italy have only met once at the World Cup - despite featuring
in the same finals 11 times since we first took part in 1950. Fate has kept the
two nations apart, with the only meeting being the largely meaningless third-place
play-off at Italia 90, which the hosts won 2-1. They have locked horns twice in
qualifying campaigns, however, with mixed results. Italy edged us out in qualification
for the 1978 finals in Argentina, even though England finished off their campaign
with a 2-0 Wembley win. |
