England coach Capello yet to decide on his No1

England boss Fabio Capello admits he's yet to decide who will be his World Cup No1.

West Ham United goalkeeper Robert Green appears ahead of Portsmouth's David James in Capello's current thinking.

In the bowels of Wembley Stadium on Wednesday, he remarked on a seemingly insatiable demand to know what conclusions he had reached, only to be reminded that prior to the Holland game in August, he had declared James to be his undisputed goalkeeping number one.

"You always ask me 'have I decided, have I decided?'," retorted Capello, when asked whether Robert Green was his number one, before conceding: "Perhaps I have changed my mind," when his statement on James was pointed out.

"I know the value of James," he added. "Green is a good keeper but he needs to play more games. The last game he played was against Ukraine."
