Man Utd ace Rooney: Capello has transformed England prospects

Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney is convinced of their World Cup chances under England boss Fabio Capello.

England kick off the campaign against the USA on Saturday June 12, just down the road from their training base in Rustenburg. The next two games are against Algeria in Cape Town on June 18 and then the final group game against Slovenia in Port Elizabeth on June 23.

Rooney told thefa.com: "If the qualifying phase is anything to go by, the manager and his staff will leave no stone unturned and we, the players, will all know what is expected of us before the first ball is kicked.

"The team is full of confidence at present and that comes from the belief the manager has instilled in us.

"One of his many strengths is the confidence he gives you as an individual. It will be interesting to see him at work during the tournament, as I said before, his attention to detail is amazing."
