Fabio Capello pinpoints uncommon England advantage as he rates World Cup chances

Fabio Capello believes England have a good chance of winning the World Cup because it takes place later in the year.

The tournament in Qatar is scheduled to start on November 21 and end on December 18, making it the first World Cup not to be held in May, June or July. The competition usually takes place at the end of the traditional European campaign.

The Three Lions are desperate to end their 56-year wait for a major trophy. They are regarded as one of the favourites to win the World Cup and former boss Capello thinks they'll do well because the tournament is being played during the middle of the season as opposed to during the hotter summer months, when players are tired from the campaign just gone.
