England coach Fabio Capello believes his team is capable of reaching the World Cup final ahead of tomorrow’s opening game with the United States in Rustenburg.



That Group ‘C’ match kicks off at 1:30 p.m. Jamaica time and is one of three matches.



The other games are from Group ‘B’ and will start in the morning. Those match-ups are Korea Republic against Greece at 6:30 and Argentina facing Nigeria at 9 a.m.



Capello says midfielder Gareth Barry will be among the England substitutes after recovering from the ankle injury he suffered on duty with Manchester City towards the end of last season.



However, Capello said he will reveal the starting line-up to the players two hours before kick-off.
