Fabio Capello to miss son's wedding day.

For goodness sake - it's only a friendly international.

Fabio, your place is with your family.

Given the changing of the original date I'm sure he wouldn't be pilloried for missing a game just once, it is a fairly legitimate excuse!

I gather his son and partner have been living together for 10 years and this "marriage" is only a formal tying of the knot and not a huge Italian wedding.

And bearing in mind the pressure he is under as England manager, if he missed the match you can imagine the headlines:

"Paid 4 million a year, and playing one of the top teams in the world, and he is off to Spain for a family party".

He cant win either way (and I dont mean the match)

[VHG]

Anyway there are LOADS of weekends when his son could have chosen to marry, when Capello would NOT have been managing England (they only play about 12 games a year and most not on Saturday).

Why did he pick a weekend when it was an international break all over the world (these dates are set in the diary years in advance).

Maybe his son did not want him there !

>>>and he is off to Spain for a family party

Whoops, meant Italy of course.

They are playing Spain.

They changed the date of the match VHG

Anyway it's only a friendly put the deputy in charge and go to the wedding, sod the sports writers.

>They changed the date of the match VHG

Only from the Friday to the Saturday.

There were plenty of other weekends his son could have chosen (though I guess many of his football friends would be playing most weekends).
