The Coach
Coaching England is the first time Italian Fabio Capello has managed an international side.
England's Strengths
England have two of the worlds best centre-backs and two of the worlds best attacking midfielders they also have one of the best strikers in the world in Wayne Rooney.
England's Weakness
England's main weakness is that although they have good goalkeepers they lack a world class goalkeeper. England also have a lack of quality depth in the two fullback positions.
