Capello's hissy fit as strict rule is broken

England coach Fabio Capello’s temper spilled to the surface recently as he flung a food tray against the wall - after spotting an England player secretly sending a text (SMS) message during a team meal! According to the News of the World newspaper, the fiery Italian has a strict disciplinary code that bans mobile phones from team diners and demands that players leave the dining room as a squad. Capello is also said to not tolerate players being late for team meetings or training and insists they wear suits and ties to and from games with the top buttons on their shirts done up. What's more, loud ghetto blasters are banned from the dressing room although players are allowed to listen to music on their iPods. The wearing of flip-flop sandals while on international duty is also an absolute NO NO!
