Coral.co.uk – As the English this week celebrate the day of their patron saint in St George, I thought it would be fitting to talk about the English national football team in their hunt for World Cup glory in 2010.

England have only won the competition once way back in 1966 when it was actually held in the country, not only was the only time we won it but it was the only time that we made the final of the competition.

Every four years when the competition comes round (apart from USA 94 when we failed to qualify), a lot of eyes are on England and a lot of people say that this will be our year, then every time we fall at one of the final hurdles and heartbreak sweeps the nation yet again.

After the dismal display of Steve Mclaren at the helm, the installation of another foreign coach was greeted with excitement and disappointment, many people think a foreign manager should not be allowed the job, but many people which English manager was good enough?

Italian legend Fabio Capello was the choice of the FA in the end and it certainly seems so far that it might have been a good one after playing five qualifying games in the campaign, winning all five games, one of them being the 4-1 demolition of Croatia in their own back yard.

Last time round in the World Cup many deemed this our best chance to win once Brazil, France and Argentina and Spain had all been knocked out but still we failed to make the most of our opportunity, lets hope this time in 12 months when the squad fly out to South Africa that they are set to bring home the FIFA World Cup.
