Fabio Capello blows his top at photographers

Fabio Capello clashed with photographers today as the England coach showed further signs of strain ahead of the World Cup opener against the USA on Saturday.

It is the second time in a week that the Italian has vented his fury in public after he berated his players at half-time during the less than impressive 3-0 win over Platinum Stars.

The coach raised his voice and could be heard 50 yards away as he approached the photographers before training in Rustenburg this morning.

The 64-year-old Italian marched towards the group, who were waiting for players to emerge, and shouted: "No, no. Why you take pictures of players in dressing room? No, no. There are no excuses."

After delivering his broadside, Capello then stood, angrily staring down the photographers, before turning to walk onto the training pitch with his players shortly afterwards.

Capello spent most of the 90-minute session then watching his three goalkeepers in action. One of the coach's biggest decisions is who will start against the Americans, David James, Robert Green or Joe Hart.

Shaun Wright-Phillips returned to training but both James Milner (recovering from illness) and Ledley King were working alone in the gym.

Joe Cole also took a full part in the session on the day that Chelsea announced that both he and Michael Ballack were being released by the club at the end of the month.
