World Cup 2010: Fabio Capello blames England for a poor start

Summary:
Manager of England’s football team, Fabio Capello, says the players are under pressure hindering them to play. The manager has overseen draws against USA and Algeria and has been surprised by the players' inability to assert themselves against teams expected to cause them few problems.
According to Capello there is a mental problem going on. He says that when under big pressure, the legs can not function normal. He reported to BBC Sports that there is no more room for errors, after the game against Slovenia, and next game they will be no more chances, they will have to win.
The results have not been good and there hasn’t been a spirit on the pitch during the 90 minutes. However, he disagrees with reports of disharmony in the squad and said the spirit in the hotel and in training is "incredible”. He denied there have been comments about the game against Algeria. He also denied that there had been a crisis meeting last night and that the players had voiced their misgivings.
According to Capello the teamspirit is fantastic; just incredible. The players are training well; they are smiling, playing together and enjoying each other company. But manager Capello wants to see this on the field during the game. “We are here to play at the World Cup and not for a holiday."

Reaction:
I think it is really important to also have a little fun when playing in a match in an important match like the World Cup. Players should not play under a big amount of pressure because it affects the body and the mind. They will pressured and will probably fail faster because of this ‘weight’ on there backs. To me it seems much more pleasant and competitive to play with a sound body and mind.
I do not believe Cappelo’s opinion about the players enjoying each other company and that trainings are going well. There are always issues in World Cup games and defiantly in a team with more than 10 men who all want to win the money. I haven’t seen England play with a team spirit either, to me it seems more like an individual ‘one man show’.
