England vs Japan

[LewisGD]

So tomorrow sees the final warm up game for England before the world cup. We're facing Japan, in Austria. Capello has said he is going to "experiment" in the game, giving some players a final chance to impress.

"Tottenham midfielder Huddlestone and Sunderland striker Bent will be given the chance to impress the England boss against Japan in Graz on Sunday." - I assume he's going to take a close look at Huddlestone to see if he can stand in for injured Gareth Barry, and given Bent's consistent league form for Sunderland, he has a chance to prove himself for country too.

With the final 23 being announced on Tuesday, this is perhaps the most important England game of some of these player's career!

Who do you expect to see playing tomorrow? Who do you want Capello to take? What do you think the final score will be? I think a convincing 3 or maybe 4-0 win for England =)

I'd like to see Bent, Parker, Dawson and Huddlestone play to be honest. Be interesting to see what Chelsea boys he plays. Want Adam Johnson to start.

Be nice to see Inamoto play again

What channel is it on and what time?

 

[Billy]

That isn't my likely line-up, that is who I hope starts.

Missing Johnson was a mistake on my part. I would have liked for him to start too.

No Adam Johnson again is a bad move. Theo Walcott starting again? oO) If the Romans produced the same quality crosses as Walcott then Christianity would never have got off the ground.

im just not convinced by walcott, he has pace, but nothing else. he cant even beat his man from a standing start. hopefully johnson gets 45 minutes and blows him out the water

Wayne Rooney starts? i no he wants to play every minute of every game but id place a bet on him already on the plane to South Africa. With every game he gets that little bit more tired, unfit, risk of injury. Why isnt he being rested? Would rather see Bent play up top with Defore for todays game but ayeee, what do i no, im only a "football manager, manager"
