Fabio snaps, but safari so good, claims Cole

FABIO CAPELLO’S smooth exterior finally cracked in Rustenburg yesterday morning, revealing a teak-tough attitude Joe Cole is convinced can help steer England to World Cup glory.

Apparently already piqued by having a safari trek disturbed by the presence of a dozen photographers and camera crews on Wednesday, Capello flipped at England’s Royal Bafokeng training base when he thought the interior of a medical room was being filmed.

“Why do you take photos of the rooms? No excuses,” snapped Capello before glaring angrily at his prey, and heading into the middle of England’s training pitch.
