Fabio Capello looked ahead to World Cup D-day declaring: "I am not crazy. We can reach the final."

Capello's pre-tournament assertion that England were capable of competing for the biggest prize in the game at Soccer City on July 11 has looked a little hollow over the past fortnight and they must beat Slovenia on Wednesday to be guaranteed a place in the last 16.

And Capello said: "I am not crazy, when I said my target is the final of the World Cup it was because we showed this is a really good squad. I think if... no, not if, when we win (against Slovenia) then all the teams have to fight against us."
