Fabio Capello has revealed the "big confidence" he has in his England players to perform well at the 2010 World Cup. England can take a huge step towards ensuring qualification by overcoming Kazhakstan in Almaty on Saturday and then Andorra at Wembley next Wednesday. Capello said: "First we have to get through to South Africa but I think we will be a very good team if we achieve that." He added: "We are very strong and we can play against all the best teams of the best countries in the world. "I am very happy with these players, with this group and I have big confidence in the future." Capello will not used end-of-season tiredness as an excuse should England slip up against Kazhakstan. He said: "At the end of the season, the players are not fresh like when we started. But we have to play two very important games against Kazakhstan and Andorra. "The problems of players, if they are tired or not, is no excuse. We have to play, we have to win and everyone who plays has to be very strong. "There will be no excuses that we are tired or wanting a holiday. None of that."
