MagicMarker

I'm rather looking forward to this game, I think it's going to be a good one! For a friendly that is.

Had no idea that this was on tonight, sweet

everdead.ie

Hope king doesn't get injured and puts in a good show. Deserves to go to SA hoping for a good game.

Mr.Nice Guy

These international fixtures have been kept very quiet!

Looking forward to this game too,

Just hoping he gives players like Bent and Johnson a decent run out.

I wonder will the pitch behave itself tonight, not likely though.

Lol its a friendly just a couple of weeks before the World Cup, I don't expect it to be very competitive. Wonder if Ochoa will start for Mexico, really rated him one of the best in the world but he went through a rough patch this year in the Mexican League. He was so dominant over the past two years, so good in fact that I refused to rate him worse than Buffon or Casillas.

Mr.Nice Guy

I believe this will be the ITV debut of Adrian Chiles.

Try telling the players who only have one foot on the plane that

everdead.ie

Who's on the English bench? I'm assuming they can't have 19 subs

fair enough.

Will be supporting a Mexico and Hernandez goal myself tonight. If he plays that is. Otherwise I don't care.

big game for Milner as he has been touted as a possible starter in Barrys place a big performance here although it is only a friendly could push that closer to being a reality

From BBC:

1925: Just in case you're wondering about the boy Darren Bent, the Sunderland Echo are reporting he's tweaked his hamstring. That's a gutter for the striker if true.

Hope this isn't true, as much as he hasn't got much of a chance anyways.

Milner is a better option for England than Barry IMO.

everdead.ie

I don't think Barry has had a great season milner Parker and huddlestone would be ahead of him in my book although I'm sure his experience is worth a lot

I never got the Adrian Chiles thing...

Certainly don't know he is worth all that money, Steve Rider did the job fine, no fuss and not bigger than the game. Its splashing loads of money on presenters like him why ITV are in the ****ter financially.

I like him as well. I think he'll be a good acquisition for ITV.

I like him too, i got the impression the BBC were trying to get rid of him for a good while.


Full teams with subs below from BBC. Looks as thought the rumours about Bent are true, havn't heard ITV mention it yet.

England: Green, Glen Johnson, Ferdinand, King, Baines, Walcott, Gerrard, Carrick, Milner, Crouch, Rooney.
Subs: Hart, James, Carragher, Dawson, Upson, Warnock, Lennon, Parker, Huddlestone, Wright-Phillips, Adam Johnson, Heskey, Defoe
Mexico: Perez, Juarez, Aguilar, Marquez, Salcido, Osorio, Torrado, Rodriguez, Giovani, Franco, Vela.
Subs: Ochoa, Michel, Barrera, Castro, Blanco, Hernandez, Moreno, Guardado, Magallon, Torres, Bautista, Medina, Jonathan

MagicMarker

I'd turn for Beckham. There, I said it.

god knows how carrick gets in team

Mr.Nice Guy

Massive game for Walcott I think.

He doesn't actually, even God can't understand it!

This is a license now for Carrick to have a stormer of a half!

Gillington

I'm hoping to see what all the hype about King is.Never thought it myself,average

Kiwi_knock

This seems like an opportunity for some players to guarantee their places such as Milner, Walcott, King and Crouch. Their next game will probably be more of an experimentation with the outsiders given a chance to stake a claim

MagicMarker

I'd go to war if it meant getting free tickets too.

MagicMarker

What are the odds on a broken metatarsal tonight?

and a poor first show.

Gillington

That sums up Theo Walcott for me

Headshot

good auld carrick and theo, somthings never change

SlickRic

if Walcott could ever learn to kick the ball properly he'd be very good at this game.

Le King

TBF to Walcott he has been decent enough for England. But doesn't do it enough for me.

The English jersey is horrible!

MagicMarker

I was just thinking to myself ''could they have left tshirts on the seats'' because it is unusually white! But I though ''na, way too expensive!''.

:eek:

ShaneU

Ummm... where are the three Chelsea players?

Carrick is f*cking shocking.

between that and Milner being non-existent in the midfield so far, it's not looking all that good so far for England.

one thing i must say though for Carrick, is he's not hiding at least. he did set that last England attack in motion.

Headshot

carrick strikes again

what a ****ing awful player

Stevecw

How the hell is Carrick anywhere near that team!!

Did I underestimate Mexico, or did I give England too much credit? England look muck

Cup final players not being used, maybe Joe Cole if he's on the bench, seeing as he didn't play the whole game
