Eriksson and McClaren would hardly change anything during a match but Capello is right on to it if it's not working. That's a big difference I think. Plus the core group of players are older and more mature. Rio Ferdinand sounds more like a grandad everyday and Rooney's impetiousness has died down. Fab makes no bones about tactical changes either.

For too many years England believed that they could just turn up and show these johnny come lately foreigners just how to play the game. That attitude has got the England team to the point where it found itself watching the Euros at home - on the telly. Equally, the England players have suffered from a paralysis - brought about by a fear of failure - that has rendered decent players useless in an England shirt. Capello has recognised this and that would explain the fact that he entered the England dressing room following the win in Zagreb and told the players to enjoy themselves - for an hour and a half - and then to forget all about it. He's trying to instil a winning spirit- with humility. A bit of a juggling act but he seems to know what he is doing.
