On the subject of chants, just got this in an email:

England fans are rightly renowned for their passionate backing of the Three Lions wherever and whenever the team plays, at home or abroad. With this next match coming in the middle of half-term week, it promises to be a great family occasion and everyone in the stadium should be able to enjoy it.

Ahead of the Ireland fixture, on behalf of The FA, I would like to ask our supporters to please respect our opponents and welcome them in the right way. Wembley is considered the world over as the home of football and we ask those attending to not take part in any chanting - particularly of a religious or political perspective – which could cause offence to our visitors or fellow fans.

As we mark 150th anniversary of The FA this year, we have been reminded of the greats who wore the Three Lions with pride - the likes of Billy Wright, Bobby Moore and Bobby Charlton to name but a few.

All were renowned for their sporting spirit and were rightly respected the world over. Just like our incredible fans. So once again, we ask you to show your support for our England team and make Wednesday's atmosphere one to remember for everyone.

That email can be summed up with "DON'T MENTION THE WAR"

Given that the last game we played (1995 Dublin) with the ROI ended in a riot it's not really surprising and with the fuss of the chanting at the Montenegro match good behaviour is expected from all at this one.
 
Ashley Cole will captain England tonight as a celebration of his 100th cap which he will receive tonight.
 
Brazil starting XI: Cesar; Alves, Silva, Luiz, Luis; Gustavo, Paulinho; Hulk, Oscar, Neymar; Fred.
