I know Linoge normally does these but I thought it would save the World Cup thread being clogged up, even though it is only a friendly

KO: 20:00
Ground: Wembley Stadium
TV Coverage: ITV1 - ITV1 HD - Radio 5 Live

Here's hoping England win, and Mexico play Javier Hernandez, Man Utd's new striker, want to see if he's any good or not!

Robbo · 24 May 2010 at 19:34

Rooney playing, please god don't get injured

Gonna be getting plenty of him over the next few months he's ITV's anchor man for footy now!

He's a complete spanner is what he is

Robbo · 24 May 2010 at 19:53

I want to see Hernandez

Ochoa is an awesome keeper too, surprised he isn't starting.

Robbo · 24 May 2010 at 20:13

Utterly awful start.

I know it's a friendly, but just imagine if Mexico were Spain/France/Italy/Holland/Brazil/etc

Robbo · 24 May 2010 at 20:20

Ledley!

1-0 England

Robbo · 24 May 2010 at 20:21

We've taken a bit of a hammering for 15 minutes, get a corner, and fluke a header in out of nowhere

Well it is a practice game.

I know

Robbo · 24 May 2010 at 20:33

Well done Green! Top save.

Robbo · 24 May 2010 at 20:35

Replay - it was a great save.

Robbo · 24 May 2010 at 20:38

2-0

Cracking header from Rooney, Crouch carried by his height

Robbo · 24 May 2010 at 20:43

Haha, Crouch was offside and then handballed it in, legend

Robbo · 24 May 2010 at 20:51

2-1, Meh

Robbo · 24 May 2010 at 20:55

"LEIGHTON BAINES WAS THE MAN ON THE LINE AND ERRR"

Yeah, it went through his legs and into the goal, whats confusing?

Rubbish ITV

Robbo · 24 May 2010 at 21:09

3-1, Scorcher.

Well done Glen

Robbo · 24 May 2010 at 21:11

Great that Hernandez is on

Robbo · 24 May 2010 at 21:57

Fairly boring game, a few good points, but not enough.

I missed the match, how did the Javier guy play?

Came on at half time, didn't really get chance to do anything as England started playing well at that point

He looks quite quick though, which is good I suppose!

Robbo · 25 May 2010 at 14:26

Tummy, by playing well I meant slightly better. (Poor choice of words)

I thought the overall performance was absolutely dire, you can say "well its a friendly", but that doesn't matter when simple things like passing and such go to hell.

It's somewhat gutted my hopes of us doing any good in the WC Finals, as I said yesterday, just imagine if that was Spain or Brazil, we'd have been 5-0 down at half time just from giving the ball away

We just have to hope the Chelsea boys can make the difference we lacked in passing and flair
