Terry: Fear has been erased

Fabio Capello has managed to get rid of the fear factor in England's squad, according to skipper John Terry. Seven wins from as many World Cup qualifiers means Capello's men head into Wednesday's clash against Holland full of confidence, even if they have lost previous friendlies to France and Spain during the Italian's reign. Terry, however, feels there is a change in mentality from players approaching matches against high-class opponents, with Holland ranked third in the world in this case. "Players would be lying if they told you there wasn't any fear coming into big games with England," Terry said. "But it's been wiped away. We've overcome that mental barrier. We had to, and we've done that."
