World Cup 2010: Fabio Capello says he's decided England XI to face USA

All eyes have been on Fabio Capello as he has to decide on his eleven to face the USA in the World Cup Group C opener in Rustenburg. In a radio interview with BBC Radio Five Live Fabio Capello said: "Yes, I've decided, I know. Every nose is pointed in the direction of Fabio as he now knows which eleven will play during the first match on Saturday. Capello believes England has improved greatly since their first match, with him in charge, against Switzerland in Feb 2008, having won eighteen of the twenty four matches. One thing we know for sure is that Manchester United strike Wayne Rooney will be one of the eleven playing in the match this Saturday.

My reaction:
Imagine the pressure put on one man to choose the eleven players to start of in the first World Cup match against Switzerland. I can imagine Fabio Capello feeling a bit under pressure because what if he chooses wrong and England looses? Than the finger will be pointed at him and he will have to take the fall for it. I can not imagine feeling that much pressure and having that sort of responsibility or even wanting the responsibility. All I can say is: hopefully Rooney will deliver.
