England v Platinum Stars LIVE (3pm)

[Heskey]

Not making it easy are they :o

 

[chapperzUK]

Another break .....

 

[Heskey]

It now available on the BBC with no commentary
!

 

[GBJ]

I can understand that we're only 5 days away from our opener. I can appreciate the players don't want to run themselves into the ground, and i can fully buy the fact that players don't want to risk injury. However, we are up against some old pub team and we look dreadfull.

 

[Pubey]

I think the scrap between BBC and Sky is more interesting than the game, personally

 

[Heskey]

Shut up you stupid horn blowers!

 

[Thorpe Groyney]

Is it my failing eyesight or does John Terry have the face of one of those blokes who sits on his front garden in the summer on a £4.99 white plastic chair all p****d up on cheap cider and sneering at anybody that walks by?

Fortunately when I went over for the African Nations Cup in 1996 they hadn't caught on.:)

Exactly.

Can't really see the benefit of this game tbh. No player is giving more than 40-50%. Capello won't learn anything that he didn't already know.

Add to that the injury risk. All it takes is a bad landing or an hyperextended knee and it could be curtains for key players.

Bonkers to say the least?

10 changes, only Joe Cole hasn't come off. There should be more effort in as it will be much cooler.

I wouldn't say it's bonkers. I think it gives a little bit of a run-out for those who have had knocks and need a few minutes. It also allows the team to try out proper tactics. Players tend to find there best form when the games are coming in thick and fast, and with a tough match against the USA it's probably best to help players find some form/sharpness.

However yes there is the risk of injury, fingers crossed everyone comes through unscathed.

It also gives them the chance to get used to those annoying horns.
