Capello spoke only a few words of English, doing his news conference almost entirely in Italian. His comments were translated in uneven fashion by an Italian who works with Queens Park Rangers manager Luigi de Canio.

"It was the first question in Italian that did it," Times columnist Martin Samuel wrote. "Fabio Capello gave his answer, also in his native tongue, and the nation waited for (the translator) to relay the thoughts of the new England manager. At that point it felt as if the roof had fallen in.

"The nature of the surrender was unequivocal. The appointment made by Brian Barwick, the FA chief executive, was not a victory after all, not the triumph it had been painted, but a terrible, hollow defeat. England lost, Italy won -- again. Lost the way, lost the plot, lost all knowledge of what had been invented within these shores, with no clue how to get it back."
