Capello shows the Midas touch (0)

Fabio Capello is the man with the Midas touch - and his gold reserves delivered a resounding message to England's established order with an outstanding win in Germany.
If Capello spent the build-up to this friendly wrestling with selection problems caused by untimely withdrawals of first-choice stars, he left Berlin contemplating a dilemma of a different kind as England's second string recorded a deserved victory.
Capello dismissed the absence of a previous "Golden Generation" to insist he could still learn much from a friendly against a nation England will always be measured against.
And, to his undoubted delight, he discovered England's resources have a strength in depth that will only add to the growing optimism surrounding Capello's reign.
