Capello already knows starting line-up for England team

Fabio Capello has settled on his first XI for England's World Cup opener with the United States on Saturday. The England coach confirmed on Thursday he has chosen his starting keeper, with much speculation over whether David James, Robert Green or Joe Hart will get the nod.

Asked whether he had chosen his goalkeeper for the USA game, Capello told BBC Radio Five Live: "Yes, I've decided, I know.

"I know the 11 that will play Saturday and I hope the next two days, during the training, all the players will be fit."
