You have to laugh at the sheer fantasy of it: The Football Association has set England coach Fabio Capello the target of reaching at least the semi-finals of the 2010 World Cup or Euro 2012. Maybe qualifying would be a more realistic target, eh, lads?

But fear not: There are also plans to appoint a new performance director, who will work with Capello, not above him, Barwick, Under-21 boss Stuart Pearce and FA chairman Lord Triesman.Phew. Where would the team be without a performance director?

UPDATE Fantastic comment below from Ross:"The Football Association has set England coach Fabio Capello the target of reaching at least the semi-finals of the 2010 World Cup or Euro 2012. "
