This fixture will inevitably bring back memories of the last time we paid a visit to Denmark. England swaggered into that match and came out of it humiliated. This time, we have an England team with considerably less confidence. To contrast our recent poor form, Denmark has been doing well having, a record of W-2 [...]

There are a lot of questions surrounding the England camp, the most important obviously being who’s in the team. Capello’s next move will be very interesting, in terms of just how much rebuilding he does. Well Capello’s next move is scheduled for August 11th, at Wembley Stadium against Hungary in the form of an international [...]

England beat club side Platinum Stars 3-0, in their final run out before the World Cup match against the U.S.A on Saturday, and most importantly of all we have had no fresh injury worries.
So what did we, or indeed Capello, learn from the match? Probably not that much. It was an easy win, obviously [...]

England v Egyptby oodinjeta
Usually, the main point of friendlies is to learn. To try things out, to see what works, and build from it. Certainly, last night’s friendly with Egypt (highlights above) was quite productive in that case.
4-4-2 Should Be Left In The Past
We’ve got a big soft spot in this country for 4-4-2 [...]

We’ve complained alot, England fans, about friendly matches. Everytime is followed by a round of managers moaning that its pointless having England friendlies, followed by pundits, and to some degree supporters about how they feel a bit of a chore.
Next Wednesday England run out at Wembley to launch their new kit, to prepare for [...]

UPDATE: England vs Egypt matchday post.
No England football fixtures for a while, but our next game has just been announced. It is:
England vs Egypt
March 3rd, 2010 at Wembley.
Egypt aren’t going to World Cup 2010 as they narrowly missed out after losing the specially arranged playoff to their North African rivals (and our Group C opponents) [...]

Well all in all it wasn’t a bad result. Though I watched the game alone I had a little liveblogging adventure with Daryl and various commenters. If you missed the game I’ll give you a link to some highlights, and my pity (it was a good game). It was also, despite the fact it was [...]

Bit of a weird game. We looked decent going forward, but made two absolutely woeful errors in defence. First Rio Ferdinand gave the ball away, and then stood back to see what would happen. A Dirk Kuyt goal was what happened.
Next it was Gareth Barry’s turn to pass the ball directly to an Oranje shirt [...]

No LiveBlog for this one, but here’s the England starting XI:
Robert Green; Glen Johnson, Rio Ferdinand, John Terry, Ashley Cole; David Beckham, Frank Lampard, Gareth Barry, Ashley Young; Emile Heskey, Wayne Rooney.
I likes the looks of that, and fingers crossed Ashley Young puts in a decent performance.
And if I was a betting man, my money [...]

We might have been playing against a side that couldn’t care less, but England recorded a confident 4-0 win over Slovakia this evening, thanks to goals from Heskey, two from Rooney (by far England’s best player), and Lamaprd.
Probably the most notable thing about the match however was the cursed striker position. Not long after [...]
