Green slips up again… But Capello hints he will start

Fabio Capello said last night that he has decided who his goalkeeper will be for tonight’s match with Algeria in the spectacular Green Point Stadium here and he has provided several hints that Robert Green will be retained for the job.

Green’s training session here was less than convincing, with the 30-year-old fumbling consecutive shots fired at him at pace, but Capello declared for the first time that he believes the Adidas Jabulani ball was to blame for Green’s costly fumble against the Americans and seemed to say that Green should therefore be exonerated for his error. “I saw some keepers make mistakes and it’s a problem with the ball,” Capello said. “One problem [for] the keepers is that sometimes the bounce is higher than normal. For this reason, I have to justify the keeper.” @Independent
