England must splat Blatt

FABIO CAPELLO last night urged England to hammer Sepp Blatter's Switzerland today.

The Three Lions can virtually end Swiss hopes of qualifying for next year's Euro 2012 finals with a Wembley win.

And that would be a body blow to their No 1 fan... discredited FIFA president Blatter.

Boss Capello said: "This is a dangerous game as Switzerland need to win.

"It is a really important match. I hope we play a good game in front of 90,000 - but the most vital thing is to win."

FIFA confirmed Blatter will be at his home in Zurich today, almost certainly watching the Group G clash.

Former England star Tony Cottee called for the Three Lions to give Blatter a miserable evening.

Cottee said: "An England win will help get some revenge over Sepp Blatter.

"After everything he has done to England, if we beat Switzerland it will be a sweet moment for us - and the FA. It's been a right farce with Blatter."

Even Nottingham's world super-middleweight champ Carl Froch - fighting Glen Johnson (not that one) tonight in Atlantic City - demanded Blatter was made to suffer.

He said: "I'd love England to win - and Blatter to feel gutted."

Switzerland boss Ottmar Hitzfeld says Blatter, whom the English FA refused to support, is a hero to the Swiss.

Hitzfeld said: "In Switzerland, we're all very proud to have the FIFA president.

"I'm very glad Mr Blatter was re-elected. He is very important for football, for the economic side AND the sporting aspect."
