Another thing that is driving Capello is the nightmare of his only World Cup appearance in 1974, the squad was torn apart by in fighting, ill discipline and bad preparation, and went home early.
Its quoted that it still haunts him today and vowed it wouldn't happen to England
Capello is single minded and determined.
sven used to say ''we hope we can win the world cup, of course''
Under capello it's ''anything less than the final is failure, the final is my target''.
I think in all the negativity about past underachievments and the quality of our team, we forget that we have capello, who's a damned good manager. We'll be very Italian. We'll be disciplined, very hard to play against and will have clever snappy counter attacks. Italy are the most sucessful european team in WC history, so it's not a bad recipe.
For many of our stars this will be their last chance. Terry, lampard, gerrard may not get another world cup. They will leave everything out on the pitch.
