Trinidad and Tobago vs England - Sunday 1st June - 22:30

Terry has been handed the captaincy for tomorrows game. Expect something like a first choice team tomorrow, with others being given more of a chance on Sunday. Its rumoured that United/Chelsea players won't travel for the game on Sunday.
 
Hopefully in one of the game the youngsters and fringe players will be given a chance to prove themselves and maybe then well see some exicitng football with passion.

Something like

-----------Joe Hart-------------
-Johnson Wheater Woodgate Bridge-
--Bentley Carrick Cole Downing----
--------Crouch Rooney---------

would make a nice change and might be a bit more exciting
 
I'd like to see Walcott for 30 minutes in either game, see how he handles an international game!

Also want to see Carrick, Barry and Young involved.

Why are we even playing these games, is it a warm down, none of the teams involved are in any major tournaments.

Money, especially the USA one given that Wembley isn't making as much money as they expected!
 
I'm gonna stir it up and say the great US of A will win 3 to 1!
England play poorly in friendlies, and the USA doesn't know what "friendly" means...we will be out to win it.

Also - I'm not sure England have the sort of quality that a team needs to play with the US for a full 90 minutes...

I know what you mean, with players like Dempsey! Fear, just fear.

Don't knock Dempsey - scored quite a bit for a poor Fulham team this year as attacking midfielder.

I just wish McBride and Friedel weren't retired from International Football!

Well, I'll be there again tomorrow to most probably watch another inept display by a bunch of players who don't give a toss
Not doing T+T though as it's purely a vote winning trip for the FA and I don't agree with what Jack Warner does.

Is anyone else here in England Fans??;)

Put it this way, there's a reason why he plays for Fulham ;)

Friedel on the other hand, absolute legend!
 
I'm really being set up to look like an *** - as you can tell I'm from the states, and i'm having about 10 English mates around to watch the game...it'll be good.

I did manage to find 6-1 odds at the bookies for the US to win outright though!
 
i wouldnt mind seeing this michael bradley in action whats his chances of palying we've been linked with strongly recently and his goalscoring record this season is great
 
Few more bits of news.

Lampard is apparantly going to start. While Rooney will start alongside an out an out front man.

So I guess the team will be something like:

James(if fit)
Brown - Ferdinand - Terry - A.Cole
Beckham/Bentley - Lampard - Gerrard - J.Cole
Rooney - Crouch
 
Never realised he was in the squad :o

Anywho, won't make a blind bit of difference as Gerrard and Lampard will just get in his (Rooney's) way.
