Cameramen feel the heat as Capello loses his cool

ENGLAND coach Fabio Capello lost his cool at the media yesterday at the team's World Cup training camp, yelling at photographers and cameramen for capturing images of the players in a building used as a medical base.

"Why do you take photos of the rooms?" Capello shouted. "No excuses."

It is the first time Capello has been seen so angry in public since taking charge of England, but his players are used to private blasts.

Capello has also been upset with his players over their performances in warmup matches, including the slack display on Monday in a training fixture against local South African side the Platinum Stars.

"He was not pleased," defender John Terry said of Capello's halftime talk. "It was the worst, the angriest, I have seen him ... he had his say at halftime in a manner I have not seen before and it was quite understandable. But it sums him up - he is a winner. Even in training, he can go like that from nothing."

Also, midfielder Shaun Wright-Phillips returned to training after picking up a minor knee injury two days earlier.

England plays its first match in Group C against the US on Saturday.
