Cool Capello had faith in England

Fabio Capello insisted he kept his cool at half-time in the Amsterdam Arena last night even though his England side appeared to be in the process of handing victory to The Netherlands.

Two goals down to the highly-rated Dutch, both of them gifts provided by Rio Ferdinand and Gareth Barry, Capello sensed the only way out of the hole England had dug for themselves was to provide the calm certainty that he believed they could do it.
