England Friendly

[broadbandking]

I have noticed that the England friendly next week is only on setanta ireland, is this true as I am gutted if I can't watch the friendly, I want to see if the mind set and team has changed much since the world cup.

Does anyone know how I can watch it without setanta ireland.

I am going to that game. Dunno about it being on TV though, try a local pub?

That would be good to see, forget the Terrys and Carraghers of this world, let's build for the future.

Well, it is a little bit different........

England squad for the friendly match against Hungary on Wednesday: Foster (Birmingham), Hart (Manchester City), Robinson (Blackburn); Brown (Manchester United), Cahill (Bolton), A Cole (Chelsea), Dawson (Tottenham), Gibbs (Arsenal), Jagielka (Everton), G Johnson (Liverpool), Terry (Chelsea); Barry (Manchester City), Gerrard (Liverpool), A Johnson (Manchester City), Lampard (Chelsea), Milner (Aston Villa), Young (Aston Villa), Walcott (Arsenal), Wilshere (Arsenal); Bent (Sunderland), C Cole (West Ham), Rooney (Manchester United), Zamora (Fulham).

Fabio Capello has named the Arsenal youngsters Jack Wilshere and Kieran Gibbs in his squad for Wednesday's friendly against Hungary at Wembley.
The pair are joined in the 23-man squad by club-mate Theo Walcott, Manchester City's winger Adam Johnson and the Sunderland striker Darren Bent, who were all left out of the group that travelled to South Africa for the World Cup, along with Fulham's Bobby Zamora.

But not much, it's a start I suppose.

Hopefully Terry and a few others will follow suit. I do believe Carragher was called out of retirement, hopefully he will re-affirm his former position.

There does seem to be a major kommunycashun problem between the fringe players and Mr Capello.

I wonder if he'll now call up that English legend Dennis Law

I think he already has

I get the feeling too many players will be worried about getting injured before the season starts and put in a half hearted effort for 45 mins before they get subbed.

As Damien is going hope I am wrong. Great stadium even if you can't get a beer for half the games anymore !

Which is where the south africans excel..

Last time I was at Newlands watching the rugby I was suprised at how many fans was drinking coke, until I noticed a lot of pocket fumbling everytime they opened up a new tin..

Stevie Gerrard finally learns how to play football in an England top. Shame it's taken him around 6 years though

Well done boys, looking forward to the next game now.
