FABIO CAPELLO is confident his World Cup training camp at Royal Bafokeng Sports Campus will ensure no repeat of the circus that accompanied England in Baden-Baden four years ago.

FIFA have yet to confirm the bases for the 32 teams at this summer’s tournament in South Africa but Capello has declared himself happy with the progress at the proposed site in the north-west of the country, even though construction is not completed.

The England manager visited the complex near Rustenburg on his way to the pre- World Cup meeting with 18 other national coaches at Sun City – and the site’s isolated location means WAGs and members of players’ entourages will be at a distance.

That was not the case when England played in Germany in 2006, but Capello said: ‘‘When I started this period I hoped it would not be the same.’’ Capello has seen recently how his players’ private lives are now under intense scrutiny, with John Terry losing the captaincy following allegations of an affair with Wayne Bridge’s ex-girlfriend.

Both are expected to be selected by Capello for the friendly against Egypt next week and Stuart Pearce, who is in Capello’s backroom staff, does not anticipate problems.

‘‘I don’t see it being an issue,’’ said Pearce. ‘‘We had a situation that I didn’t feel warranted a week’s worth of front-page news.

‘‘When you turn up to represent England, the only thing that is important is England winning.’’
