Capello: We were shattered! England boss blames a long season for woeful show against Switzerland

'In the second half we played not so bad, a good reaction. We had three clear chances to score but at the end of the game, in the last 10 minutes, some players were without energy. We recovered the result after 2-0 but we suffered because we arrived without energy.'
England's hopes of qualifying for Euro 2012 were thrown into doubt by an astonishing Darren Bent miss late on. Manager Capello, who had selected the Aston Villa player as his lone striker, puffed out his cheeks in disbelief as Bent fired over an empty net. It means England are left fighting with the minnows of Montenegro for the top spot in Group G.
Hart of the matter: Switzerland's first goal sails into the net direct from a free-kick
