Coach Capello admits pressure affecting England in World Cup

England manager Fabio Capello admitted that the pressure is getting to his players following their disappointing 0-0 draw with Algeria on Friday.
So far, England have drawn their opening two games of their World Cup Group C, including their 1-1 opening game against the United States.
Speaking to ITV after the game, the Italian explained that "We missed a lot of balls, easy passes, a lot of counter of the ball. We have to play another game and we hope we will be happier."
Capello added: "I don't know if it's pressure, or not a good moment, but I think it was not a good game because we lost too many balls, we lost too many passes. I think it was not the same team that I know."
The England manager also refused to criticise any of his players in particular, but admitted the whole team had lacked spirit.
"I don't like to speak about players. When we don't play well it is not only one player, two players can make the difference," he added, "I think the team this evening did not play with the spirit that I like."
Capello also revealed that he may change his team for the final group game against Slovenia, and insisted that his players would be ready for the upcoming fixture.
"I can change, I will try to do something different," he said. "I will speak with the players and it will be the last chance that we have to move forward, but the players know what we have to do."
