Well Mica Richards didnt get a look in which was disappointing as he has played out of his skin for england in the past combining well with Shaun Wright-Philips, but Glen Johnson did well and has put himself right up there with Wes Brown competing for that right back place.
Matthew Upson put in another reliable show perhaps proving he is the best cover if Ferdinand or Terry get injured, and lets not ignore Downing’s performance (much as I’d lke to being a Villa fan) who having been given the nod over Ashley Young yet again has finally repaid Capello’s faith in him providing some decent left-footed crosses and a couple of good right-footed shots having cut inside.
The only minor glitch coming in the confusedly conceded goal, but to be fair sub keeper Scott Carson was let down a little by Terry who’s shielding of the ball seemed to extend only as far as the edge of the box.
Overall I’d say the team showed good hunger, ability and composure which could carry them a long way.

Thank you, Mr. Fylan. Just trying to prove that we females do know a thing or two about football (though I have to admit till now, I am still kind of confused over the offside rule). Not the most educated opinion on my blog but, just doing my bit.

If I am not wrong, you did the podcast during the Olympics in August, right? I had always wanted to say that I am a fan of the daily podcast you and your colleagues did during the Beijing Games. I had always look forward to it and when the Olympics came to a close, I was sad that it was all over.

Miss Diana. The difference in the attitudes of the players at Wembley was incredible that night, wasn’t it? And I quite like the formality, actually. It sets a different tone around here, certainly.
I like your blog very much, by the way…

Mr. Fylan (sorry if that sounds very formal), you almost took the words out of my mouth. Ahead of the match at the Wembley last year, a number of the Germany regulars were not there. But why did they eventually beat England 2-1?

I don’t really understand why people are saying this is a meaningless friendly.

After hints from Fab, the England starting XI tonight will probably be James; Richards, Terry, Upson, Bridge; Wright Phillips, Carrick, Barry, Young; Crouch, Defoe
Yes there are loads missing but I reckon all of the above bar Upson will make it into the 2010 World Cup squad so they are not duffers and they need to know how to play in a big stadium just in case the injury curse hits again in South Africa.
