Italy legend and World Cup winner Dino Zoff believes that Fabio Capello can guide England to the ultimate prize during in South Africa next year.

"The World Cup is Capello's," Zoff is quoted in The Sun as saying.

"Fabio has proved himself to be a great catch for England and I really believe he can take them all the way to success.

"The only problem they will have is tiredness as they will be coming from a long season in the Premier League and it is tough - but with Capello they have a winner."

Concerning the prospects of his own country, the former goalkeeper added: "Italy have great potential but repeating their win of 2006 will be very difficult, though I think they will make the final four.

"What if Francesco Totti and Alessandro Nesta came back?

"Well, it would be different because [coach] Marcello Lippi would be able to call upon two valuable players who could help take the team to the next level."

On the South American challengers, Zoff said: "As for Argentina, I do not think they will go far and they could encounter difficulties.

"But I believe Brazil will always be there because of their tradition and players."
