England manager Fabio Capello believes crowd behaviour in England and Spain is much better than in Italy, making for a better spectator sport in the aforementioned countries.

The Italian tactician claims the sport is being ruined in his homeland due to ‘ultras’, which are hardcore Italian fans, doing whatever they like.

Capello admitted it is much nicer to watch football in England and Spain and says Italy is now missing out.

“As it is, the ultras do whatever they want. In the stadium they can insult everything and anyone,” Capello said.

"In Spain, instead it's different. There is more respect and the families go to the stadium with their children, it's a different world.

"I remember once (in Spain), a fan threw me a paper ball and he was taken away.

"In England the stadia are full, there is a desire to go to the stadium, nothing ever happens and the stewards do a perfect job.

"I am saddened with what is happening in Italy, the decline will be more evident, and what only needs to be done is to apply the law.

"A decision must be taken by the authorities and by the clubs so that people return to the stadiums and they are more welcoming."
