Capello Keeping His Axe Sharp
Fabio Capello has revealed that his England squad is still very much a work-in-progress, meaning the axe will be wielded ahead of next month's friendly against Germany... England sit top of UEFA Group Six in World Cup qualifying with four wins from as many games following Wednesday's 3-1 win over Belarus.
It is the Three Lions' best-ever start to a WCQ campaign, and they will hope to make it five from five when they face the Ukraine in April.
But Capello is not completely satisfied and insisted that changes will be made for the Three Lions' friendly visit to Berlin on November 19.
The Italian told The Sun: “It doesn’t mean that because we have done well in Belarus, these are the players I go with. No, you always have to prepare the future.
“For me, the friendly matches are experiments to decide the best XI, to decide the best group, to decide everything. I needed to experiment and I will do the same in the next three games starting with Germany and Spain.
“Someone can be injured or someone might not be able to play in the next few games. I know all the English players and I will decide who to pick when the time comes.
“So before the Germany game, I will try and find some new players.”
Aston Villa trio Ashley Young, Gabriel Agbonlahor and Nigel Reo-Coker are all in line for a call-up, while Newcastle United striker Michael Owen could also work his way back into the fold.
Italy-Brazil venue confirmed Thursday 13 November, 2008
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Italy's friendly against Brazil next February will be played at Arsenal's Emirates Stadium.
Marcello Lippi's world champions will take on the nation with the most world titles to their name on the evening of February 10 and Arsenal are proud to be hosting the occasion.
“Everyone at Arsenal is proud and honoured to be staging this international match between two of the world's greatest teams,” Gunners chairman Peter Hill-Wood stated.
“Brazil and Italy both have proud and very successful football histories and we are looking forward to welcoming the teams and the many Brazilian and Italian supporters.”
It will be a special game for a number of Brazilian Serie A stars, including Milan's Kaka, Ronaldinho and Alexandre Pato, who will be up against their club teammates.
Meanwhile, the clash has added significance as Juventus striker Amauri could pay his first game for one of his two nations.

Very impressive.
