With many of the England player’s having high profile spouses it is no wonder there was a circus surrounding the WAGs in Baden-Baden, Germany in the 2006 World Cup. Sanctions have been placed to limit players from having too much contact with their families during training and important match preparation.

As yet there are no firm plans as to where the WAGs will be accommodated during the World Cup tournament, although there is some speculation over a base being organised by agents in Mauritius. If this be true then the families of the England players can fly in to South Africa to attend and support the England matches. But it has been made quite clear that contact periods will be restricted to 24 hours. Capello has made it very clear from the start that he wants no unnecessary distractions for his side.

Although much of the footballers wives attendance in Germany was pretty harmless it was of course brought into the spotlight by the media constantly following them on their every move. But because of the media hype and distraction, the England manager at the time Sven-Goran Eriksson was the one at whom the blame was directed at. Capello insists there will be no repeat performance.

2010 will mark the fourth World Cup appearance for the 34 year old and Beckham only needs to play in 12 more games in order to break England’s all time appearance record, currently held by retired goalkeeper Peter Shilton.

Talking about David Beckham Capello said, "He is always with us because for me he is one of the most important players. He is good in the group and he is good in every moment during the training. Some players are important for the position and morale of the group."

Despite a positive outlook for a place in the England squad the LA Galaxy midfielder will have to rejoin AC Milan in January and failing that another top European side to play for in the preceding months before the World Cup tournament kicks off.

Beckham was played as substitute in the Croatia game that put England through to qualify for South Africa with two games to spare. The last World Cup in Germany saw Beckham playing whilst still overcoming an injury. He needs to stay fit and avoid injury which could jeopardise his game if he wants a full guarantee in Capello side. If he stays fit and continues to play well, the midfielder has a good chance of taking Shaun Wright Phillip’s place in the 23 man squad.

According to a newspaper source the European giants were after signing the Spanish star last year 2008 but were unsuccessful as the young 23 year old player decided to stay at the Mestalla and continue playing for his Valencian club. But with the market now open and bids in full circulation Manchester United, coached by Sir Alex Ferguson, has once again got its eye on Silva.

Reports have word than Ferguson is set to bid £25 million for the Spanish international once the transfer window re opens. Despite Valencia rejecting all initial approaches for the younger player it seems that the £25 million might just persuade a sale. It is rumoured that top football clubs Liverpool and Real Madrid were also extremely interested in purchasing David Silva.

Should Valencia agree to sell, then Ferguson is hoping to seal the deal sometime in January 2010. The big man is said he would much prefer to secure the services of Silva well in advance of the commencement of the World Cup as he believes the young star could excel in his international games and as a result his value would become inflated thus raising the stakes in the buyer’s market.

David Silva is without doubt a talented player and has represented Spain at every level. With the news of a possible move to Old Trafford, Manchester United fans will be watching Silva’s performance during the World Cup tournament to see just what he is actually worth.

Capello, former AC Milan and real Madrid manager says he has simply homed in on his motivational skills rather than compose any new concepts on the field. He has always believed in the skills of the players but failed to see why they never seemed to play with the same enthusiasm as a nation compared to playing for their clubs. Capello claims he has done nothing more than become psychological with the players and they have followed a lot and changed completely. Already in his short time as head coach for England, the Italian has done more than Steve McClaren and Sven-Goran Eriksson to improve the overall moral of the English Squad.

With players such as Rio Ferdinand, Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard and Ashley Cole regularly excelling in the Champions League, it is no surprise that England crushed Croatia 5-1 to qualify early for the 2010 World Cup.

Since England’s absence in the European Championship 2 years ago, the side remains one of only 3 from Europe to have a perfect World Cup qualifying record. In addition, England has scored 31 goals in just 8 matches which is far more than any other country. Although it may seem a little too soon to get optimistic, there is a distinct positive feeling already floating around in the air. Come next June all eyes will be once again on England and whether or not we can progress further, preferably without a penalty shoot out.
