England coach to allow WAGs at World Cup

England boss Fabio Capello will allow 'WAGs' at the World Cup next year - but only for one day at a time after each match in South Africa. Capello runs a tight ship but the Italian feels his players should see their loved ones for limited periods, as the planning towards the 2010 World Cup starts following the 5-1 victory over Croatia that sealed qualification.

"I like what we made here at training where the players stay together," Capello said. "When we are in South Africa the players need the wives, friends, the girls. One day after each game."

Capello, however, warned: "We are there to play, not for a holiday."
