There was no wally with a brolly, just a man with a plan at
Wembley as England booked their ticket to the World Cup finals
with a five-star performance.
Two years after Croatia triumphed in the Wembley rain to sweep
England out of Euro 2008 and Steve McClaren out of a job, Fabio
Capello showed how it should be done.
Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard scored two goals each to exact
their own personal revenge for that horrible night, with Wayne
Rooney adding another near the end.
Capello was the master technician though as England completed
an eighth straight qualifying win to secure a trip to South Africa
next summer with two games to spare.
