The England national team’s fixture list for World Cup 2010 qualifying has just been released, and I think it sets up pretty nicely for new manager Fabio Capello. The meeting to hash out the exact details of the schedule took a reported eight hours in Zagreb, Croatia.

It’ll be important for the Three Lions to start and end qualifying on a high note and they have a good chance to do just as they’ll visit minnows Andorra to get the ball rolling and host relative lightweight Belarus to end the campaign.
