Lion kings or far from fab - you be the judge

England play Switzerland at Wembley in a friendly international this evening in what will be the first match under the stewardship of Fabio Capello, the new manager.

The Italian is said to be a strict disciplinarian, with several senior members of the England squad this week comparing their time with him as similar to the first few days at school.

The Three Lions had a head coach in Steve McClaren, it appears now that they have a headmaster. But will our pampered Premier League players be collecting gold stars at the end of the evening, or writing “I must not get caught out of position” 1,000 times.

Join Times Online’s big-match commentator, Robert Dineen, from 7.45pm for the start of the new dawn (when did we last hear that tired cliché?) for l'Inghilterra.

Formations, failings, fans catching Fabio fever, five-man forward lines - whatever is dished up at Wembley - Rob is a pasta master at conveying it to you, our readers, in his own inimitable way.

At the end of the match (kick-off 8pm), join us to have your say on England’s first fixture under Capello.

Final sobering thought before we all get carried away on a tidal wave of euphoria: if you are less than 41 years, six months and seven days old you have yet to see England win a major football tournament.
