I think Capello will stay. England did great in the qualifiers and the players have proved themselves for their clubs. There's just something about the big national tournaments that makes them freeze. Although I've dismissed it in the past, maybe there is just too much pressure on England players. There's an irrational expectancy at the heart of England supporters. It's stuck in some mythical past with no real acknowledgement that the game has changed a lot since 1966. England fans see everything in black and white: either England are the best team in the world, or the worst. Most people are looking for a scapegoat and Capello's the obvious target - especially as he's foreign and therefore "doesn't understand the English way". God knows.
I'm starting to wonder how other nations' supporters think of their team? Is there the same pressure on Holland's players, for example?
