The England manager wants to know everything about World Cup Qualification rivals

England manager Fabio Capello is paying close attention to Croatia at Euro 2008 in advance of this autumn's World Cup Qualification campaign.

England meet the side who put paid to their own Euro dream in September and Capello, who watched the Croats defeat Austria one-nil yesterday, will watch them against Germany and Poland in their remaining group games.

He promised a thorough assesment, saying: "I want to know everything, all the secrets of this team, which system, (how they approach) set pieces and also the movement of the team with or without the team."

England are currently fourth favourites [13.0] in the World Cup 2010 Winner Market.
Croatia are [95.0].

Capello is also pleased with the progress made by England in recent friendlies.

He said: "In the game against the USA we played better (than in previous games) and against Trinidad and Tobago we were much better again. Step by step we are moving on in every game."
