Sampdoria stiker Antonio Cassano has endorsed England manager Fabio Capello, saying England will make the World Cup semi-finals in 2010. Cassano makes the comments in his recent autobiography in which he opened up on his relationships with all the managers he has played under.

"When I played under him, I would say all sorts of things to him. But now that Capello isn't my coach anymore I can say that he will do great things in charge of England," Cassano says.
