Your not a Rooney fan I take it.

Johnson needs to wake up and realise he's a right back and not a right winger, and Green is still very dodgy, but other than that, we were brilliant today...

Well of course, he's a Spurs man.

Im disappointed that Defoe didn't start tonight, I think he deseved a chance.

Well done boys....a decent team for the first time in years.

Not all that confident in Heski though...although I'll probably get crucified for that comment!!

Who? .

Beckham...

I agree he's just there for another cap or to take free kicks. SWP would have been a better option .

Oh, come on darlo, SWP sucked a lorry load of lemons the other night. He was wandering all over the pitch like a little kid looking for his mummy. Beckham might lack pace but he has positional discipline,something that Capello respects. Lampard was awesome tonight I thought, closely followed by Barry.

SWP has had great games for city so far. Lennon deserves to be in the starting 11, but Beckham doesnt deserve a spot even on the bench.

SWP hasn't been England quality for a good few years now.

In defence of Glen Johnson, there's no way he would have spent so much time in the opposition half if he hadn't been told to do exactly that by Capello, and what a brilliant job he did of it. When was the last time we saw an England right back who terrorised the opposition defense and created so many goal scoring opportunities?
As to his defensive capabilities, there's no way he'll be able to shirk those under both his club and international coaches. I thought he showed glimpses of the world class full back that Capello told us he is.

Back to my original point. SWP was the worst player on the pitch in the friendly and it was an act of mercy that he didn't come out in the second half. Lennon and Walcott are by far and away the best options on the right in the World Cup but Beckham can play in several positions so may well be on the plane. SWP can save himself a few bob and book his beach holiday right now.

Well done England!!! Lampard was superb tonight as was Gerrard and I don't usually like him, in fact all round good performance from England, showing belief and passion, all I expect from my national team!!

Whisper it, but I could actually see England doing it next year and then finally they will stop mentioning how many years it was since England last won the World Cup (43!!)!!

Can't understand why Heskey started though, Defoe would have been a better option for me and Rooney was a little quiet, but I don't care and we are on the way to South Africa!!!!!

COME ON ENGLAND YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
