It’s best to plan in advance and Capello will be looking ahead to England’s first game in the Euro 2012 finals against France. The first game is played in Donetsk and FootballCynic would respectfully like to offer Fabio the benefit of intensive research carried out at FootballCynic HQ.

First of all, the tourist guides come up with six “not-to-miss” restaurants. Disappointingly, one of these is an Irish pub called the Golden Lion, which should probably be left for Trapattoni and his charges. The alternatives offer food from Marrakesh and Mexico or described as Latino or “a wide assortment of European cuisine”. None of these look suitable for England’s superstars, so we are left with The Korsar restaurant.

The Korsar looks ideal for England’s needs – local traditional food served in what is described as “a snazzy restaurant designed as a pirate ship”. The guides continue to explain “...and, of course, a bar pouring out genuine pirate drinks.” This, of course, sounds ideal as Capello seems keen to ensure that his players are allowed to relax more after keeping them cooped up in South Africa.
