England one of the favorites says Ballack
One of the biggest talking points ahead of South Africa 2010 is how capable the English team is to go far this time, and maybe even win it. When it comes to player quality at talent, there is no doubt they are among the top team, but truth is they haven’t won a World Cup since 1966 and they have constantly been under-performing in the last big tournaments.
Can new manager Fabio Capello make the difference this time? Well, this is what many believe, and the German captain Michael Ballack, playing in Chelsea, considers England one of the big favorites to win World Cup 2010.
“With Fabio Capello, they now have a manager who has brought stability. That is important and the team feels that.” Ballack says to german newspaper Rheinische Post.
He also talks about the self-confidence in the English players for the moment, and that they have players with “exceptional individual class”.
With regards to his own, the normally so strong, German team, they are struggling a bit for the moment and have fallen a bit behind.
