In 02 against Brazil and again in 04 agaisnt Portugal, it was not talent that we were lacking, but good sense on the part of the coach. The right words, the right tactical decision at a crucial moment.

Capello will bring these thigns to the table, if the team can respond in turn, i think many neutrals and people who don't much care foe England and that is putting it mildy, will be surprised. The unknown to it all will be luck, for success right up to the sharp end of a tournament, you always need a little good forutune.
