It was interesting to see Fabio Capello being interviewed, in addition to the deep discussion by the Match Of The Day panel, during half-time in the France v Romania match. Is this the first in a series of interviews with all the home (UK) international team managers and discussions on the future World Cup prospects of each of the home nations?

If it is I am certainly looking forward to them. Somehow I doubt it though because, as usual, Match Of The Day appears to be purely for fans of a team called England who for some reason are not actually playing in Euro 2008 - perhaps they forgot to enter.
