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.
You'll be sorely disappointed. England have brought the wrong personnel to major tournaments for ages. Beckham shouldn't have been there in 02, Rooney shouldn't have been there in 06. Capello's not going to be able to change this. In any case England's players are so afraid of penalty shootouts that they've lost once the whistle goes.
