Capello: We were shattered! England boss blames a long season for woeful show against Switzerland
Posted Sunday, June 05, 2011 by
With thousands of angry fans delayed entry into Wembley, Capello's selection came under scrutiny as Switzerland scored twice though free-kicks from Tranquillo Barnetta after 32 and 35 minutes.
Frank Lampard pulled a goal back with a penalty before half-time but the folly of Capello's decision to start with Ashley Young on the bench was highlighted when the Aston Villa winger arrived at the interval to score a classy equaliser.
Capello, whose job would have come under serious threat if England had lost, nearly got out of jail when Bent twice should have finished the comeback.
