“Fabio Capello’s men have been named as one of the eight seeds – along with hosts South Africa, Brazil, Spain, Holland, Italy, Germany and Argentina. The French and Portuguese will be placed in Pot 4 with the rest of the European nations who qualified for next summer’s tournament. Capello will be glad that his side have avoided the real big hitters such as Spain and Brazil, but will be acutely aware that England could still end up in a tough group in Friday’s draw.” (Telegraph)
