It has not taken long for Fabio Capello to be acclaimed as a person destined to guide England to World Cup glory.
Few teams in world sports draw such community hype as the England national team, with a victory -starved public regularly run into frenzy by the salivating U.K. media.
Wednesday night’s 5-1 destruction of Croatia at Wembley Stadium reserved Capello’s men a position at the 2010 World Cup.
The Italian force himself into the picture for the England coaching job as soon as Steve McClaren failed to qualify England for the 2008 European Championships. Capello impressed the F.A. chain of command with his vision for victory, and regardless of having a less-talented pool of players to choose from.
It has been 43 years since England won its only major trophy at the 1966 World Cup, and the publicity and headlines will continue all the way from now until next summer. Except that this time there looks to be some genuine basis behind them.
